Barcelona pip Sevilla to Super Cup

Barcelona want-away forward, Pedro, scored an extra-time winner as the Catalan club won the UEFA Super Cup for a record-equalling fifth time after a nine-goal thriller against Sevilla in Tbilisi.

Pedro, who has been linked with Manchester United, came off the bench to grab the winner.

The Europa League winners surprised the Champions League holders when Ever Banega converted a well-taken free-kick.

But Lionel Messi proved he can do better scoring two sublime free-kicks to put Barca 2-1 ahead before Rafinha and Luis Suarez made it 4-1.
