Sevilla appealed the Spanish football federation ahead of the match as there were more than three non-EU players in Barcelona due to which it was termed as a non-professional match and was played only one leg, unlike the previous years.
The nearest current team members with the close competition in titles won are Sergio Busquets and Gerard Pique both having 28 trophies in the list.
