Unai Emery could not fault his Sevilla players after their extra-time defeat to Barcelona in the Cope Del Rey final.
Sevilla coach Unai Emery was proud in defeat after seeing his side lose the Copa Del Rey final to Barcelona 2-0 after extra time.
Emery's Sevilla could not repeat its second-half heroics from the Europa League final during the week, when it beat Liverpool 3-1, despite having an extra man for almost the whole second half on Sunday.
Javier Mascherano was sent off with nine minutes remaining in the first half, before Ever Banega received his own marching orders late in the second, but Sevilla could not make the extra-man advantage count, eventually finishing a player down itself as Jordi Alba and Neymar scored the goals that won the cup for Barcelona.
