Three years ago, on April 17, 2021, at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville, the final of the Copa del Rey took place. Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona competed for the title.

Barcelona dominated the football field, yet in the first half, they failed to score, despite playing significantly better. After the break, the situation remained unchanged. The Catalan team continued to press on Bilbao's goal and finally found their moments.

In the 60th minute, Griezmann opened the scoring with an assist from Frenkie de Jong, and three minutes later, Frenkie himself doubled the advantage. Then Lionel Messi took the stage. The Argentine completed a brace in four minutes, and Barcelona emerged victorious with a 4-0 scoreline.

The Catalan team won the Copa del Rey. Consequently, this title marked Lionel Messi's last in Barcelona's jersey.

In August 2021, the Argentine bid farewell to the Blaugrana and joined PSG. It is worth noting that new details of Messi's departure from Barcelona have since emerged.
