Xavi and his men locked horns with Sevilla on match day four after accumulating 7 points from 3 league games so far this campaign with their last victory coming against Real Valladolid.
The last time both teams faced each other the match ended in a 1-0 win in favor of the Catalans.
Xavi Hernandez lined his men up in a 4-3-3 formation while Sevilla started the game in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Raphinha gave Barcelona the lead in the 21st minute and R. Lewandowski scored the second goal in the 36th minute. Eric Garcia added a third in the 50th minute.
Three talking points In the match are:
1. POOR BUSQUETS
Xavi picked Pedri, Gavi, and Busquets to start as his first choice in midfield against Sevilla. Barcelona’s captain Sergio Busquets was far from his best in today’s match as he lost the ball too often in the midfield and could not match the strength of Sevilla’s midfielders.
2. BRILLIANT TER STEGEN
The Germany International goalkeeper has been very spectacular over the years for the Blaugranas and was at the top of his game against Sevilla as he made a couple of good saves to deny Sevilla the lead in the first half. He went ahead to keep a clean sheet in tonight’s game.
3. BARCELONA WINS THEIR THIRD CONSECUTIVE MATCH
Before tonight’s game, Xavi and his men have won two of their last matches, they continued their excellent performance against Sevilla as they got all three points to make it three wins from their last three games.
