Sevilla lit up the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium with a sensational display on Sunday, crushing Barcelona 4–1 in a game that left fans and pundits buzzing across the football world.
From the very first whistle, Sevilla played with intent and precision, dominating possession and outmuscling the Catalan side. Their early pressure paid off when Alexis Sánchez opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 13th minute after a handball incident in the Barcelona box.
The hosts doubled their advantage just over twenty minutes later, with Ismael Romero finding the net in the 36th minute to make it 2–0, sending the home crowd into wild celebrations.
Barcelona’s response came just before halftime when Marcus Rashford pulled one back in added time, briefly restoring hope for the visitors. However, Sevilla refused to let up, maintaining their attacking tempo and defensive composure in the second half.
Although Robert Lewandowski scored from the penalty spot in the 76th minute to keep Barcelona in contention, the game soon slipped beyond their reach. Juan A. Carmona restored Sevilla’s dominance in the 90th minute, and A. Adams added a fourth deep into stoppage time (90+6’) to seal a commanding victory.
The result not only showcased Sevilla’s growing confidence but also exposed Barcelona’s defensive weaknesses and lack of rhythm in key moments.
Online reactions were swift and passionate. Sevilla fans flooded social media with messages of joy, with one post humorously declaring, “Barcelona fans, God is good. Remember November.”
This emphatic win lifts Sevilla further up the league standings and sends a clear message that they are serious contenders this season. Meanwhile, Barcelona will have to regroup quickly as pressure mounts on the squad to bounce back and rediscover their form.
