WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE BROADCAST AND THE GAME !! Distribution of points between Barcelona and Sevilla, who remain undefeated in LaLiga when they reach the national team break. AN AFFECTIVE GREETING AND UNTIL NEXT !!
Sevilla for their part, in addition to the pressure, tried to go out at all times with speed up, something that led to a greater precipitation than in the first half. Both teams enjoyed few clear chances, being a crossbar from En-Nesyri (deflected by Araújo) and a heads-up from Trincao the plays with the greatest chance of scoring. The Andalusian team accused the fatigue in the final minutes but continued to defend well to avoid suffering.
Ronald Koeman's men have not managed to overcome the pressure posed by Sevilla on many occasions, something that has made it difficult for them to step onto the rival field and be able to find spaces. Long balls did not become an option, and for short the rival effort meant that when they reached the opposite field the possessions lost fluidity and went from one side to the other.
The match between Barcelona and Sevilla ends with a 1-1 draw between both teams. The second half had a sevillista tint during a stretch, with Lopetegui's men more comfortable on the pitch again, but in the final minutes Barcelona managed to unbalance the match a bit towards the rival field and find some option to reach Bono.
FULL TIME!!
Messi looked for a shot from outside the area with his left but the hit went over the goal.
The game is breaking towards Barcelona's side. Sevilla are showing effort throughout the game. Little to finish …
FOR BONUS !! Chance for Trincao in a heads up after a touch from Messi. The Portuguese, somewhat heeled, failed to materialize before the Sevilla goalkeeper.
FIVE MINUTES ADDED !!

Change in Sevilla. Enter the Gudelj field and Rakitic leaves.
YELLOW FOR PJANIC !! Card practically after entering when making an entry from behind on Munir.
The changes of Ronald Koeman seem to go in the direction of having greater control in the center of the field, in addition to having more options in the exit of the ball and under pressure from Sevilla.
Sergiño Dest makes his debut on the left side of Barcelona. The former Ajax footballer makes his debut in the opposite band to which he is used to playing.
Change in Barcelona. Enter the Dest field and Jordi Alba leaves injured.
Change in Barcelona. Pjanic enters the field and Coutinho leaves.
Jordi Alba is on the pitch. The Spanish left-back seems to have suffered a muscular injury after controlling a Munir dispatch to Jesús Navas on the occasion of En-Nesyri.
Barcelona has not been able to establish themselves in the rival field for several minutes. Sevilla is managing to recover with some ease.
UP ON-NESYRI !! Good opportunity for Sevilla after a cross from Jesús Navas from the right. The Moroccan contacted forced head and the ball went high.
The Andalusian team was very supportive in the pressure. The Sevilla players are defending in the best way all the spaces that can be produced.
KOUNDÉ HEAD TOPPER !! Sevilla corner that serves after another pressure and the Frenchman contacted the ball but his shot went wide.
Once again Sevilla bites the ball out of Barcelona. Those of Lopetegui constantly trying to recover in rival field. Ronald Koeman's set uncomfortable.

TO THE STICK !! Sevilla's move on the left with En-Nesyri who looked for a pass inside the area, but the ball hit Araújo and went to the crossbar.
Carousel of changes by both teams. Ronald Koeman and Julen Lopetegui looking to break the tie from the bench.

Long possession of Barcelona that ended with a center from Sergi Roberto from the right. Diego Carlos put his head in to clear and almost his shot was poisoned towards his own goal.
Somewhat imprecise both teams in their passes. Sevilla continue very comfortably on the pitch, but they are not deciding passes so well. Barcelona, for its part, continues with possessions in which it is difficult to find spaces and players inside.
JOAN JORDAN OUT !! Shot with the right in a ball that fell bouncing, but his hit went very far from the rival goal.
Sevilla is almost constantly putting pressure on the ball. Lopetegui's men defend the man and try to force Barcelona to play long, where they are superior.
Good ball out of Barcelona under pressure from Sevilla. The ball came in attack to Ansu Fati, his pass was bad on Jordi Alba and they could not make the play.
Again Griezmann is facing goal. Pass to the Frenchman who drove heeled on the right and finally Bono was able to shrink so that the occasion was not clear.
Start of the second half somewhat stumbled after a blow between Rakitic, Messi and Joan Jordán. The Sevilla players were more affected but they all continue without problems.
THE SECOND PART BEGINS !! The footballers are already running on the pitch.
Sevilla for its part is not wrinkling with the ball. Julen Lopetegui's men take risks but come out with the ball, they seek to win actions on the wings and from there try to do damage. The Andalusian team is also trying to play safely with their passes so as not to encourage against rival attacks. In this first half, Sevilla went ahead with a goal from De Jong but immediately afterwards, Barcelona tied with a goal from Coutinho. Everything remains for the second part.
Barcelona are trying to take advantage of Sevilla's losses to go on the attack. Those of Ronald Koeman do not pose constant pressure, but on some occasion they did manage to recover and find spaces. Without this, Barcelona is drowning a bit with the ball in front of the good network of Seville that is closing very well from the inside.
Draw between Barcelona and Sevilla at the Camp Nou 1-1. An entertaining first half, where the proposal of both coaches has been marking what has happened with the passage of minutes. The Andalusian team is more comfortable at the end of the first half, but Barcelona have enjoyed some occasions to be able to generate some danger and be alive in front of their rivals but to be more uncomfortable.
END OF THE FIRST TIME !!
OUT MESSI !! Long ball to the Argentine on the right, which was outlined against Acuña, and looked for a shot with his left foot that went just out.
Barcelona's new attack attempt. On this occasion, Barcelona stole before the ball came out of Sevilla, and Messi looked for an individual play but ran into Koundé.
Ansu Fati's new attempt to find a goal. This time his shot went well above the three sticks.
Without many ideas, Barcelona in their possessions. The ball goes from one wing to the other but Ronals Koeman's men are not managing to open space in the rival defense.
Good action by Araújo against Ocampos within the Barcelona area. The central did not fall into the threats of the Argentine footballer and stole the ball very cleanly.
SUSO OUT !! Shot with the right of the Sevilla player after a very good action to leave Jordi Alba and have the option to shoot, which was somewhat heeled.
Messi once again trying to find a very close delivery from a corner kick. Bono managed to block the ball well, despite Busquets' attempt to anticipate.
Minutes of Barcelona in which he has been able to stand in the Sevilla field with more clarity. Ronald Koeman's team begins to have more of the ball.
ANSU FATI CENTERED SHOT !! A good move by Messi down the center lane, which left De Jong and Joan Jordán, looking for Ansu Fati, but his shot went to the hands of Bono who stopped in two halves.
Barcelona is not managing to advance clearly with the ball. Where the players of the Blaugrana team are most comfortable is when they can gain meters on the wings.
Sevilla is well planted in the field so as not to allow Barcelona to have spaces. Those of Lopetegui without wrinkling with the ball, pressing, and returning well in defense so as not to have inferiority at any time.
GET OUT GRIEZMANN !! Recovery of Barcelona before the exit of the ball from Sevilla. Ansu Fati looked for the Frenchman, who came somewhat forced to the auction and his toe shot goes out.
DO NOT CONTACT THE BALL FERNANDO !! Ball exit from Sevilla with a change of orientation from the left to the right, and Jesús Navas, who reached the baseline, looked for the delivery into the area towards Fernando who could not reach the shot.
ALMOST SURPRISES JORDI ALBA !! A long free kick in which the left-back looked for a goal after seeing the Sevilla goalkeeper forward. Bono had to touch it as he did not have the goal reference completely.
Sevilla having more the ball after this first quarter of an hour of the game. Lopetegui's men are having the ball and trying to touch it safely so as not to allow Barcelona to run after loss.
At the moment it is being a pulse between both teams. In case of being able to press, they try, and if not in their field they are looking for the movement of the ball to be as slow as possible for their rivals.
Brilliant start for both teams. It seemed that Sevilla was hitting the first blow of the match, but Ronald Koeman's team was quick to show their reply. The mistake of Jesús Navas who could not cut Messi pass well was key and that led to the tie.
GOOOOOOLLLL OF COUTINHO !! With practically no time to breathe, Barcelona's reaction was immediate. And with the typical Messi pass to the uncheck of Jordi Alba, Jesús Navas touched the ball and left it open to Coutinho so that he could arrive and shoot at an empty goal.
GOOOOLLLL DE JONG !! Sevilla's new short corner kick, Suso with a good action gained space over Ansu Fati to center, and the clearance in the small area was taken advantage of by the Sevilla striker to make the first of the match.
Second corner for Sevilla in the match. I try to quickly braid those of Lopetegui.
Both teams are well planted in defense, trying to force the rival ball out and looking for the spaces that are left in defense to generate danger.

I send long from Piqué to Sergi Roberto who is going long. Sevilla starting the match with advanced defense to complicate Barcelona's shipments.
STARTS THE MATCH!! Barcelona and Seville already play at the Camp Nou.
LESS THAN TEN MINUTES FOR THE GAME TO START !! The referee tonight is Jesús Gil Manzano, who belongs to the Extremadura Territorial Committee of Soccer Referees.
Sevilla's coach, Julen Lopetegui, has lost by four goals difference in each of his two league visits to the Camp Nou as a coach: 5-1 with Real Madrid in the 2018/19 season, (which earned him dismissal in the white team) and 4-0 at the head of Sevilla last season.
FC Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has lost in his only match on the bench to Sevilla in LaLiga and also suffered that defeat as a local coach (1-2 with Valencia in March 2008).
In his 119 league games with Sevilla, Ivan Rakitic has scored one more goal (26-25) and provided one more assist (28-27) than in the 200 games in the competition with Barcelona.
Of his 70 penalties taken in LaLiga, it was with Sevilla against the only rival that Lionel Messi missed a penalty in discount (it was in October 2011 and Javi Varas stopped him, preventing Barcelona from winning).
Sevilla is the team to which the Barcelona player Lionel Messi has scored the most goals in LaLiga (29, also in all 37 competitions); However, it could be the second time that the Argentine has not scored against the Nervionenses in two consecutive First Division games.
Barcelona is not only the rival that has beaten Sevilla the most times throughout LaLiga history in general (83 wins) and as a visitor (59 wins); but, in addition, the Barça field is where the Hispanics have the worst percentage of defeats (77.7%) with at least six league displacements made.
If they do not lose, Sevilla will match their best streak without a loss away in LaLiga history (currently 4V 4E), which was achieved by Unai Emery between March and September 2015 (9, 5V 4E).
Barcelona have only lost one of their last 32 league games at the Camp Nou (28V 3E), the one on the penultimate match of last season against Osasuna, leaving a clean sheet in six of the last eight games as host in the competition.
Barcelona have not lost to Sevilla in 25 of the last 26 LaLiga matches (19V 6E), scoring the Andalusians at least four goals in three of the last four matches in the competition. The only Sevilla victory in this interval was 2-1 in October 2015 with Unai Emery as coach.
The Camp Nou is the stadium where Sevilla has the worst current streak without achieving a victory in LaLiga (17 games, 2E 15D) since the 0-3 achieved by the Hispanics in December 2002.
Julen Lopetegui only introduces a change also in his starting eleven with respect to the one he beat Levante 1-0. The Sevilla coach puts Acuña in and Escudero leaves.
Sevilla comes out with the following team: Bono – Jesús Navas, Koundé, Diego Carlos, Acuña – Joan Jordán, Fernando, Rakitic – Suso, De Jong, Ocampos
Only one change in Ronald Koeman's team for tonight compared to the one that came out in the game in Vigo. Araújo enters, who already played minutes in Balaídos, in the starting eleven and Lenglet leaves due to the double yellow he saw against Celta.
Barcelona comes out with the following team: Neto – Sergi Roberto, Araújo, Piqué, Jordi Alba – Busquets, Frenkie de Jong – Griezmann, Coutinho, Ansu Fati – Messi
THERE ARE ALREADY ONCES !!
Both teams go undefeated to this match, which will also be the third for both clubs after the competition began.
Sevilla, for their part, arrives at the Camp Nou without having yet known defeat in LaLiga. The Andalusian team won their second game 1-0 against Levante at the Sánchez Pizjuán with a goal from En-Nesyri in the final minutes.
Barcelona comes to this meeting after winning away from home, in Balaídos, 3-0 against Celta de Vigo in a match in which the Blaugranas once again imposed themselves on their rival. The Catalan team had to play part of the match with one less player.
GOOD EVENING EVERYONE!! Great game between Barcelona and Seville to close the day of the weekend and make way for the national team stoppage that will cause a “mini break” in the competition. Ronald Koeman and Julen Lopetegui in search of three points before national team football.
