Barcelona bounced back from an early setback at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán to claim a convincing 3-1 victory over Sevilla.
The hosts opened the scoring in the 19th minute when Youssouf Fofana found the net with a header. However, Barcelona responded almost immediately, with Raphinha restoring parity just three minutes later.
The Brazilian winger continued to make the difference after the break, scoring again in the 51st minute before completing his hat-trick in the 68th minute.
Barcelona controlled much of the possession and created several opportunities throughout the game, while Sevilla found it increasingly difficult to cope with the visitors’ attacking threat in the second half.
The victory allowed Barcelona to maintain their impressive winning streak and further strengthen their position at the top of the table.
