The major concern from the Catalan perspective is if Argentine captain Lionel Messi is fit to play after the Rosario born striker played no role in the dramatic penalty shootout semi-final with the player complaining of hamstring issues in the LaLiga win away at Granada on 9 January.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's clash in Sevilla, Barça boss Ronald Koeman stated: "We will see. The player himself always has the last word, "we will wait until Sunday morning to see how his body reacts. We are hopeful he will be available tomorrow.

"If you have the best players in your side, you always have a better chance of winning. We are talking of the number one player in the world.
