Barcelona did not have it easy against a spirited Sevilla last night, and the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan made sure that the Catalans were made to suffer for every bout of possession.

For the first time this season, Barcelona entered half-time on level terms and deservedly so as Sevilla put in a stellar show. However, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal took matters into their own hands after the break and scored two goals with ease.

The win takes Barcelona to 21 points in seven games and ensured they kept their perfect record alive. It was, however, Barcelona’s toughest challenge of the season yet without any doubt.

The Croatian goalkeeper had a solid debut , pulling off some good reflex blocks when Sevilla pushed forward in attack. Not much he could do to prevent the opening goal.

He showed serious calm when faced with Sevilla’s press and did not struggle with the ball at his feet.

After having a sensational performance in the previous game, Cancelo was very subdued against Sevilla as he seemed to struggle with the physicality of the game. His crosses were wayward, and he barely got into the attacking third with meaningful possession.
