The azulgrana cement their victory in the areas and above all in the punch of their forward against a cloudy opponent and a tense crowd in Nervión


Previous Direct

Sevilla is a flan, a team that has deflated, flaccid and cloudy, unrecognizable even at the Sánchez Pizjuán.

And Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, has toughened up, powerful in the areas and more familiar with the goal than with the game if you take into account their last three league games.

It is therefore not surprising that the result between two teams with such opposite dynamics was 0-3.

The win was more or less taken for granted from 0-1 because the collapse of Sevilla was as tremendous as the superiority of Barça under Gavi's power and competitiveness was notorious.

Sevilla's lineups betray Lopetegui's doubts and Monchi's difficulties.

Right now it is a confusing and surprisingly soft squad, as clueless as it is enraged, difficult to classify at the start of the League.

The rivals know that they play against Sevilla for Sánchez Pizjuán and for Arrebato.

The energy transmitted by the anthem fueled for a little while a team that depended on Isco's lucidity.

The man from Malaga was an undetectable player for Barça.

The azulgrana couldn't find their place on the field, overwhelmed by the diabolical rhythm of the Nervión and surprised by the pause of the former Madrid player.

Isco, however, soon disappeared and Sevilla quickly unraveled.

It was enough for Barcelona with Ter Stegen to hold on in the most critical moments, especially the goalkeeper in a one-on-one with Rakitic, naturally enabled by Isco's inside pass.

Very revolutionized and numerically superior in midfield, Sevilla swept Barça away on a dizzying night at Pizjuán.

The blaugrana, however, no longer need to control the game or have the ball to create spaces with their touch, but in the open field they make the most of their speed in transitions and the punch of their strikers.

It is a version more similar to Luis Enrique's Barcelona than Guardiola's.

The elaboration loses weight with respect to pressure and verticality, as was appreciated in Raphinha's goal.

Gavi, a wild boar, stole the ball, Dembélé accelerated and Raphinha headed into the net after Lewandowski intervened.

The Pole scored the second after controlling a Koundé cross with his chest and finishing off Bono's exit.

Barça is worth it for now with Koundé on the side waiting for Bellerín and Marcos Alonso to enter the scene.

The azulgrana formation was, after all, the same one that thrashed Valladolid.

None of the latest signings entered the scene and the team was just as solvent as on Sunday at the Camp Nou.

Koundé, decisive

The entrances of the ex-sevillista Koundé and the cons of Dembélé, both as unbalanced in the counter as erratic in the definition, ended up unhinging the players and the fans of Sevilla.

At the break whistles were heard, in the same way that at the beginning of the second half the applause returned after Lopetegui's changes.

Not even with three central defenders did the script or the fate of Sevilla change.

The team blinded themselves to Ter Stegen and Barcelona did not forgive the third in an action that began with a corner kick and culminated in Eric García.

The central defender scored and was injured after a very good start to the league.

The game ended with 0-3.

The interest focused on a carousel of changes that even affected Lewandowski after he missed a sung goal to the surprise of the Barça bench.

Xavi then began to think about the Champions League.

The parade of soccer players, however, did not affect the nerves of the azulgrana, very concentrated and determined not to lose their tone, only scattered at the moment of facing Bono.

The European Cup also awaits Lopetegui and especially Haaland.

The Barça coach began to rotate while the Sevilla player did not know how to finish last night's game or start Tuesday's game against City.

There is anger in Seville and optimism in Barcelona.

The match was so easy for the azulgrana that the noise resounded in Nervión.
