On Sunday evening, FC Barcelona delivered a resounding 5-1 victory over Sevilla FC in their La Liga encounter at the Estadi Olimpic. The match saw Barcelona dominate from the start, with Robert Lewandowski scoring a brace to set the tone for the game. Lewandowski opened the scoring with a penalty and later added another goal before the half-time break, assisted by Raphinha‘s low cross.
Pedri also contributed to the first-half onslaught with a brilliant finish from the edge of the box, giving Barcelona a commanding 3-0 lead by the 39th minute. The second half saw no let-up from Barcelona, as substitute Pablo Torre scored two goals to further extend the lead. Torre’s goals came in the 81st and 87th minutes, with the latter being a free kick that found the top right corner of the net.
Sevilla managed to score a consolation goal through Stanis Idumbo Muzambo in the 86th minute, but it was too little, too late to change the outcome of the game. The win solidifies Barcelona’s position at the top of the La Liga table, with nine wins out of their first ten matches.
The match also marked the return of several key players for Barcelona, including Gavi, who made his first appearance since suffering a knee ligament injury in November 2023. Other players like Frenkie de Jong and FermÃn Lopez also returned from their injuries, adding depth to the squad.
Sevilla, under the management of GarcÃa Pimienta, who previously coached at Barcelona, are still struggling to find their form this season, particularly away from home. They will look to regroup and improve their performance in upcoming matches.
