Barcelona is not ready to give up.
Despite quite a few harsh reviews it is absorbing this season, the Catalans tonight (Saturday) defeated Sevilla 0: 2 in Ramon Sanchez Fijuan and came at least temporarily 2 points away from Atletico Madrid who are at the top of La Liga.
Four days before they host Julen Luftaghi and his players in the Copa del Rey semi-final with a 2-0 deficit from the first game, Barça managed to pick up 3 important points in the title fight, which seems to be much more open than it was about a month ago.
As expected, today's victory is also recorded mainly by Leo Messi.
In the 29th minute the flea found Dembele with a great depth ball, the Frenchman overtook Diego Carlos and kicked left to the net, between Bono's legs.
In the 86th minute came the goal that determined the result of the game.
Messi passed Jordan, performed a double pass with Dembele, passed Fernando as well and then managed to subdue Bono.
Barca will meet Sevilla on Wednesday (22:00) for the cup semi-final rematch in an attempt to make a comeback that will lift them to another final and on Saturday they will host Ossona in the league.
FULL TIME!
