Overview

• Alexis Sánchez converted a VAR-checked penalty and was joined on the scoresheet by Isaac Romero, José Ángel Carmona and Akor Adams, while Marcus Rashford replied for Barcelona from a Pedri cross.
• Robert Lewandowski missed a late second-half penalty that could have made it 2-2, wasting Barcelona's clearest opportunity to shift momentum.
• The opener followed a video review of Ronald Araújo’s foul on Romero, and a later VAR intervention confirmed Barcelona’s spot kick at the other end.
• Pedri said the first half "lacked intensity and quality" and called for autocrítica, as Hansi Flick admitted "big mistakes" but highlighted a stronger second-half response.
• The victory ended Sevilla’s 19-match LaLiga winless run against Barcelona and kept Barça two points behind Real Madrid going into the international break.
