Barcelona vs Sevilla


Barcelona winger Raphinha was forced off after pulling up with a muscle problem and his replacement, Fermin Lopez, had a golden opportunity to score within a minute of coming on.
Lopez sparked a flowing move and found Lamine Yamal on the right, who returned the favour to Lopez who had made a clever run into the box, and with the whole goal to aim at, struck straight at the goalkeeper from close range.
Barcelona were more direct in the second half as they tried to break down a stubborn Sevilla defence.
Robert Lewandowski had the chance to put the hosts ahead but his close-range effort was saved by the legs of Orjan Nyland.
That was the closest they had come until Ramos, of all players, turned the ball into his own net to give Barcelona the lead with ten minutes on the clock.
Yamal did excellently at the back post from Ferran Torres’ cross when he attempted to head the ball back across goal for the waiting Lopez, and his hard work paid off as the ball dropped to Ramos' feet, who couldn't help but steer the ball over the line.
The goal came at the right time for Barcelona, who were rarely under any pressure in the game, as they comfortably held on for the three points.
