Spanish Super Cup Preview: Barcelona vs Sevilla

By Dominic Vieira, writing from Portugal

The winner of the 2010/2011 Spanish Super Cup will be awarded the trophy tonight at the Camp Nou. Sevilla won the first leg 3-1, but Barcelona are boosted with the return of their Spanish World Cup winners and a match fit Messi, The Messiah.

Barcelona opened the scoring in the first leg with a goal from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. But the Andalusian side were the strongest on the field and in the second half they turned the result around with goals from their lethal top strikers Kanoute and Luis Fabiano. Sevilla were up against a young Barcelona team where many cantera players and regular substitutes featured in the game. However, the opposition will be a world class side tonight as the likes of Pique, Xavi and Iniesta return to the field were they frequently win and play the world’s best football.
