Miño, Alves, Milito, Sergi Gómez, Abidal; Oriol Romeu, Jonathan dos Santos, Keita; Bojan, Ibrahimovic & Maxwell; may have surprised with so many "new & young faces" as seen in the below FC Barcelona Team photo.
The missing seven Spanish Internationals & recent World Champions were left out because of lack of physical & team preparation & Coach Guardiola put together a side with many Barcelona B players & future promising youngsters.The 1ºst half was FC Barcelona with the team playing well & with coordination. The opening goal came in the 20th min when Maxwell passed to IBRAHIMOVIC who scored. It looked like FC Barcelona with its young players had things under relative control.
But the 2ºhalf was a diffrent story as Sevilla put on Kanoute & later Negredo to go al out for the match. The startegy paid off as the young "inexperienced" Barcelona newcomers dropped in level, made some mistakes & allowed the more experienced Sevilla players to take over proceedings. 
LUIS FABIANO equalized in the 62th min & was a clear signal that the game had changed in favour of the home team. KANOUTE was them brought on & the effect was almost immediate with two goals in the 74th & 82nd min.Sevilla FC now take a handly 3-1 aggregate advantage to "Camp Nou" were Barça will be obligated to bring back its International star players & attempt to turn around the Spanish Super Cup tie.
