The Catalans dragged 4 games without winning on the league and that had cost it the lead with his today’s opponent Sevilla, the Catalans would win thanks to a Camp Nou to its full capacity and the first 20 minutes of its star Lionel Messi who would be injured.
The goal of Coutinho at minute 2 and Messi’s goal at minute 12 loomed a party at the Camp Nou that would be silenced with the injury of Messi at minute 26 and with a Sevilla that would enter to the game, harassing on all fronts the goal from Ter Stegen that would keep her at 0 during the first half.
After the break the harassment increased in a silenced Camp Nou, who could not believe the injury of Messi and just hoped it was not something serious, Sevilla kept trying but Ter Stegen, the stick and a penalty not charged would say no. Next, in the best moment of Sevilla, the referee would charge a penalty to Barcelona caused by Luis Suárez, doubtful for saying the least, that himself would transform into 3-0. Sevilla would not give up and get the discount at minute 78 with a shot from Sarabia out of the area. The dominance of Sevilla was evident, a Barcelona that did not find a response until the penalty, which was not deserved, like the 4th goal by Rakitic at the 88th minute that would finish sentencing the match although Muriel’s goal would be missing to make up the result and place the final 4-2.
The Catalan crisis was under the carpet, they won a difficult game but they lost their guide in the process and in the second time they were overcome, they made up their crisis and now they are leaders of the Santander league, but the test of fire awaits them next Sunday in the Spanish Classic.
