Pique celebrates his goal against Sevilla

Barcelona have reminded Sevilla that football is about having a high opinion of your opponent regardless of triumphs in response to a tweet by the Andalusian club.

The Catalan club overturned a 2-0 scoreline in the second leg of the semifinals of the Copa Del Rey by 3-0 to advance into the finals of the competition.

Sevilla had earlier made the tweet on February 17, a day after the Catalan club lost 4-1 to Paris Saint Germain in the round of 16 of the Champions League at Camp Nou.

The message was about Kylian Mbappe sprinting away from Gerard Pique while the defender desperately tried to pull the forward back with superimposed words "Sevilla in the Champions League last 16" while on Pique was "Europa League".

The message did not go well for the Blaugranas who after their Copa Del Rey semifinal qualification retweeted to remind their opponents that “football is about respect.”
