"We have other players apart from Leo Messi that can score goals," Barca coach Ernesto Valverde said. For Valverde's side, a record sixth consecutive Copa del Rey final, with either Valencia or Real Betis, who play on Thursday, awaiting them on May 25. Dembele again skipped in behind and passed to Suarez at the backpost, although it was Varane that got the final touch. Messi deferred to Suarez, perhaps thinking he was on a hat-trick, and the Uruguayan coolly chipped the penalty into the corner.
