Things did not start well for the visitors at the 22:00 kickoff on Sunday at Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys. The ‘Blaugranas’ were fully prepared for action in front of the 47,849 fans present. Ricardo De Burgos ensured the match got underway for an entertaining clash. Sevilla faced all kinds of calamities caused by Barça’s forwards. Mounting pressure on Sevilla’s defense led to Gerard Fernandez pulling Raphinha’s shirt, resulting in a penalty. Lewandowski calmly converted the spot kick in the 24th minute, putting Hansi Flick’s boys up 1-0. Just four minutes later, Pedri scored with an assist from Lamine Yamal, making it 2-0.

Sevilla had no chance as Barça dominated 70% of the possession. The score became 3-0 in the 39th minute when Raphinha skillfully found the Polish international, who slotted it smoothly into the back of the net. The half-time whistle blew with the score at 3-0, offering some relief to the opponents.

Super-sub Pablo Torre showcased his skills with a magnificent shot in the 82nd minute, assisted by Pedri, bringing the score to 4-0. García Pimienta’s side struggled to block Barça’s relentless attacks but couldn’t stop them. Their efforts paid off with a consolation goal from Stanis Idumbo Muzambo, assisted by Loïc Badé, in the 87th minute.

Just two minutes before the end of regular time, Pablo Torre struck again with a wonderful direct free-kick, curling it past Nyland. Sevilla trailed 5-1, and their efforts to come back were futile. Ricardo De Burgos added five minutes of stoppage time, but Barça’s aggression remained untamed. The final whistle confirmed a 5-1 victory, keeping Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table, three points ahead of defending champions Real Madrid after 10 matches. Barcelona will travel to the Santiago Bernabéu on October 26th for the famous ‘El Clásico,’ one of the most iconic encounters in world football.
