Barcelona have very little reason to expect a different result in Wednesday’s Copa del Rey loss to Sevilla. The Blaugrana were flat out bad for 90 minutes and deserved to lose, but something else can also be true: they should have had a penalty.
There was an incident late in the game where Suso pulled Jordi Alba and the two fell inside the box, and referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz gave Barça a free-kick, arguing that Suso’s contact happened outside the box and the momentum of the play brought the two players down inside the penalty area.
