Barcelona’s trip to Sevilla always looked a really tricky tie and so it proved with Quique Setien’s side unable to score and forced to take home just a point.
The result means Barca extend their lead to three points but will be knocked off the top of the table if Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad on Sunday.
Imanol Alguacil’s side have had a good season but have drawn with Osasuna and been beaten by Alaves since La Liga resumed.
After that fixture the top two will have eight games left to play and Barca have a tough week coming.
