  • Robert Lewandowski missed a late penalty that could have tied the match, and Sevilla finished it off with late counters from Carmona and Adams for the 4-1 scoreline.
  • The result came days after a Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, handing Barcelona a second straight loss and their first league setback of the season.
  • Real Madrid regained top spot in LaLiga and now hold a two-point advantage after Barcelona's defeat in Seville.
