Barcelona extended their unbeaten run in La Liga to 15 games and have now won 9 of their last 10 matches in the league thanks to a great 2-0 victory over Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. Barça played an excellent game, especially at the back, and Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembélé scored the goals to give the Blaugrana three big points on the road.
FIRST HALF
The first half was intense and hard-fought, with very few chances and virtually zero space for either team to operate. Ronald Koeman surprised with a back three and a five across midfield but the plan worked well as the Blaugrana managed to press high up the pitch and always have width on the wings while also having movement and possession in the middle.
