Barcelona picked up a crucial three points at the weekend in their quest to wrestle the La Liga title back from rivals Real Madrid. The locals were at their best to beat Sevilla 2-0 on Saturday away from home. That result kept them on the coattails of current league leaders Atletico Madrid and the title race this season is likely to go right down to the wire.

Dembele broke the deadlock with 29 minutes on the clock, scoring to give his side the advantage their play deserved. The game then hung in the balance until the 85th minute when Messi struck a second to give Barca some breathing space. It was closer than the final score suggests but there was no debating the fact we ended with a worthy winner.

Barca bag three points

Sevilla caused a cup shock in the first leg of this tie when beating Barcelona 2-0. It was a result few followers of Spanish football saw coming but Sevilla were on form in that game and they caught their opponents on an off night. They now take a strong aggregate lead into the second leg and it’s likely the visitors will try to defend that and sneak through. Easier said than done, of course, but their fate is in their hands.

Barcelona are 1.512 with Sevilla 5.9 and the draw 4.46.

Sevilla’s fate in their hands

Kounde opened the scoring in that game when finding the net on 25 minutes and there was a second when Rakitic fired home with 85 minutes. Sevilla celebrated a hard-earned victory over the mighty Barcelona but know there’s still work to do in this tie and nothing has been decided just yet. They must defend their lead against one of the best-attacking sides in the world.
These teams have already met three times this season and there is nothing between the pair in the head-to-head stats. The first clash ended in a 1-1 draw in La Liga late last year before Sevilla caused a shock result in the first leg of this competition, winning 2-0. On the ropes, Barca responded in style to claim a 2-0 revenge win at the weekend in the league. The scene is now set for a thrilling 90 minutes with extra-time and penalties a possibility.
