Overview

• Alexis Sánchez converted a VAR-awarded penalty after Ronald Araújo fouled Isaac Romero, with Romero adding a second before Marcus Rashford volleyed Barcelona back into the match.
• Robert Lewandowski dragged a late penalty wide that would have made it 2-2, and Sevilla sealed the result through José Ángel Carmona and Akor Adams in the closing minutes.
• The defeat ended Barcelona’s unbeaten LaLiga start and left them two points behind Real Madrid going into the league pause.
• Sevilla earned their first league win over Barcelona since 2015 in a statement performance at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
• Pedri called the first half “dreadful” as coverage cited injuries to Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, midweek fatigue, and exposure of Barcelona’s high defensive line under Flick.
