Reading the game of Lionel Messi, the speed of Ousmane Dembélé, and FC Barcelona begins to dream again ... Aligned on the front of the attack, this Saturday, the Argentinian and the French allowed Barça to sign a big blow on the lawn of Sevilla FC (2-0).
The Catalans have a second success in a row in La Liga and are two points behind Atlético Madrid, which has two games less and plays this Sunday night at Villarreal.
Far from the apathy demonstrated against PSG in the Champions League (1-4 defeat at Camp Nou), the Blaugrana were able to patiently build their victory.
First dominated, Ronald Koeman's proteges resisted and then showed themselves to be clinical against.
Dembélé enters Barça history
From the center line, Lionel Messi launched Ousmane Dembélé in depth.
Thanks to an excellent call, covered by Jules Koundé, the Normand took over the defense and quietly adjusted Yassine Bounou with his left foot (1-0, 29th).
With 26 goals, Dembélé becomes the third best French scorer in Barça history.

The only downside for FC Barcelona, Pedri came out with an injury.
Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo was also injured, just 15 minutes after coming into play. This did not prevent Lionel Messi from doubling the bet (2-0, 85th).
Served by Ilaix Moriba, the six-fold Golden Ball deceived, in two stages, the Andalusian porter.
Sevilla FC is his favorite victim in La Liga: Messi scored his 30th goal this Saturday against Blanquirrojos.
Sluggish against Cadiz (1-1), easy against Elche (3-0), Barça regains confidence, little by little, before the round of 16 return of the Champions League against PSG, on March 10 at the Parc des Princes.
