Speed

but

But how important is the Super Cup and how many Important Matches can a football lover stomach? Obviously it's important to the prince of Monaco and to Sevilla which gave it everything they had, but was it important enough for Barcelona too?

the ref

Important or not, Italian referee Stefano Farina showed us his best side for a while. Speed was the word, so whether one of the countless free-kicks were taken from the right spot or a few meters away didn't matter. As long as the game moved forwards. Yes, countless free-kicks, but all for minor fouls, Farina saw everything and judged dives for what they were. The players behaved themselves.

second

Suddenly in the second half Farina started to issue yellow cards and ended up showing seven of them. Among those were two for slowing down the game (Farina likes speed), two for protesting a decision and one for taking off a shirt. For a while it seemd Farina had a little more consideration for Barcelona's players until he gave Seville a penalty.

trick

The one trick to play mighty Barcelona and win is to put three guys on Ronaldinho and two on Messi, so lesser Gods like Deco have to make the decisions (and fail). Seville did that well.
