Jeison Murillo: Copa del Rey winner 2018-19 whatever happens
The Colombian has played for Barça and Valencia in the competition this season
Jeison Murillo has already won his first trophy of the season. After Barcelona beat Real Madrid and Valencia beat Real Betis, the Colombian is guaranteed to win the Copa del Rey this season as he has played for both finalists in the competition.
As brought to our attention by Twitter's @MisterChip2010, Murillo played one cup game for Valencia before signing for Barça in January. He has since played two cup games for his new club. Murillo will be a Copa del Rey winner regardless of who lifts the trophy at the Benito Villamarín on May 25.
Aún faltan casi tres meses para la final de la Copa del Rey, pero ya tenemos un campeón...

ENHORABUENA a @JeisonMurillo19 que ya ha logrado el PRIMER TÍTULO de su carrera profesional (ha jugado esta Copa con los dos finalistas: un partido con el Valencia y dos con el Barcelona). pic.twitter.com/AsV12uHRJa
During the first half of the season, playing for Valencia, he played in the game against Ebro, a 2-1 win. In Barcelona, he's played in both games against Levante: a 2-1 loss away and a 3-0 win at Camp Nou.
He was booked in each of those three games. That meant he was suspended for Barça's game at Sevilla, which he may well have featured in.
