The 2016 Copa del Rey final was a football match played on 22 May 2016 to decide the winner of the 2015–16 Copa del Rey, the 114th edition of Spain's premier football cup since its establishment (including two seasons where two rival editions were played). It was played at the Vicente Calderón Stadium in Madrid.
It was won by defending champions Barcelona, who defeated Sevilla 2–0 after extra time to achieve their 28th title.[1][2] Andrés Iniesta was named man of the match despite Lionel Messi's two assists in both of Barcelona's goals.[3]
As Barcelona won both the 2015–16 La Liga and the Copa del Rey, the 2016 Supercopa de España was also held between Barcelona and Sevilla.
