Barcelona depth proves crucial as Luis Enrique finally wins Spanish Super Cup
Three points from Barcelona's 3-0 win over Sevilla on Wednesday at the Camp Nou, securing the Spanish Super Cup with a 5-0 aggregate victory.
1. Luis Enrique takes trophy tally to eight
Barcelona have their first trophy of the season. And it is the only one that was lacking from Luis Enrique's collection since taking over as the Catalan club's coach two years ago.
Two goals from Arda Turan -- the second a stunning long-range effort -- and a Lionel Messi header eased Barca to a 3-0 win against Sevilla and completed a 5-0 aggregate win, securing the Spanish Super Cup, which they missed out on to Athletic Bilbao 12 months ago.
Sevilla, who were bright early on, look as if they may need some time to get used to a new manager, new players and a new shape. They were lively in the opening stages and were unlucky not to take the lead, but Jorge Sampaoli's formation, which was tricky to label but perhaps closest to a 3-5-2, left plenty of space for Barca.
Any hopes they had of producing a remarkable comeback disappeared when Vicente Iborra's penalty was saved by Claudio Bravo in the 32nd minute with the scoreline at 1-0.
