In what could be his last appearance in a major final for the club, Messi was instrumental again, as Barcelona recorded an outstanding victory to win their first trophy of the season in style.
Despite dominating from the start, Barcelona were unable to find the back of the net in the first half, but broke the deadlock on 60th minute, through France forward, Antoine Griezmann, moments later, the impressive Frenkie De Jong, doubled Barca’s lead, before Lionel Messi sealed the victory with a quick fire double.
