At the beginning of 2022, Barcelona was sixth on the Primera table with 13 points behind the second-placed Sevilla, which was four points behind the leading Real. In the meantime, the Madridians have significantly advanced and are already cooling the champion’s champagne, but that is why the Catalans rose seriously and took the second place in the direct clash at the Camp Nou with a 1-0 victory over the guests from Andalusia.3 – @FCBarcelona 🔵🔴 have kept a clean sheet in three consecutive @LaLigaEN games at Camp Nou (W3) for the first time since a run of 4 between February and June in 2020 (W4).

Barca’s new born star and future great masterfully broke first Ivan Rakitic, then Diego Carlos, and then took a shot from 18 meters into a small net like a sniper. Bono stretched as long as he could, but after a few perfect interventions, this time he was powerless.Seville coach Lopetegui knew that his team was facing high pressure from Xavi’s, so he set up as many as three defensive blocks in his half. Seville player rarely went on the attack, (especially in the second half), but they failed to defend themselves against one of the world’s best young footballers. Bono saved a couple of good shots, but Pedri was not going to be denied.Bojan reveals: “Pep’s Barca didn’t treat Zlatan with due respect”The last time Barcelona players lost the game was on January 20, in King’s Cup with Athletic Bilbao (2:3 after extra time). At that time, Xavi was still getting to know the team. Now Barcelona is doing far better, and they proved that with a great win over Real, along with tonight’s hard won battle with Seville. The future looks bright.LA LIGA – ROUND 30SaturdayGetaffe – Mallorca 1-0 (0-0)/Mayoral 82/Levante – Villareal 2-0 (0-0)/Morales 69, 90+1/Celta Vigo – Real Madrid 1-2 (0-1)/Nolito 53 – Benzema 19 pen, 69 pen/Atletico de Madrid – Deportivo Alaves 4-1 (1-0)/Joao Felix 11, 83, Suarez 75 pen, 90 – Escalante 63/SundayAthletic Club – Elche 2-1 (1-0)/Berenguer 32, Villalibre 86 – Josan 90+2/Betis – Osasuna 4-1 (2-0)/Juanmi 34, 45, Carvalho 82, Moreno 88 – Budimir 65/Valencia – Cadiz 0-0Granada – Rayo Vallecano2-2 (0-2)/Molina 67, Milla 90+4 – Catena 6, Guardiola 17/Barcelona – Sevilla (1-0) (0-0)/Pedri 72/
