Brilliant Lionel Messi one again delivered for Barcelona on the grandest stage as he inspired his side to a 4-0 Copa del Rey Final win over Athletic Bilbao.
The mercurial forward scored one of his greatest ever goals in the thumping victory as they now turn their attention to La Liga title glory.
Catalans rejoiced the world over at Messi's magic but one man on the bench who had an extra reason to be cheerful is Celtic icon Henrik Larsson.
The super Swede returned to Barcelona last summer as a key member of Ronald Koeman's coaching staff and his influence has been keenly felt this seasoon.
Larsson's added debt of gratitude is down to the fact the Final was taking place in the Olympic Stadium in Seville - the scene of the most gut-wrenching loss of his career.
It's almost 18 years since Celtic lost 3-2 to Porto in the UEFA Cup Final despite two brilliant headers on a sweltering night in Spain.
No fans were in attendance this time around but Larsson was able to smile as he got a close-up view of Messi at his brilliant best.
Nothing will ever make up for that crushing defeat but Saturday evening's win goes some way towards offering closure for one of the finest strikers of his generation.
And now president Joan Laporta believes the 33-year-old will sign a new deal and stay at the Nou Camp next season.
He said: “Leo is the best player in the world and has a very strong bond with the club. I’m convinced he wants to stay and we’ll do everything in our hands to make sure he does.
“Today he could see he is backed up by a great team who are capable of playing beautiful football.”
