There are streaks and streaks, but none of them is as brutal as the one Barcelona have recorded against Sevilla – 19 games without the taste of defeat. Moreover, the Sevillians have clinched a single victory in the last 35 games against the Catalans, and that last one, on Sunday night, ended in Barca’s 4-1 away win.Not even the fact the sides were levelled at half-time and that the Blaugrana were brought down to ten men after Fermin Lopez was sent off in the second half couldn’t make the difference for the hosts.Barcelona take all three points in Sevilla and close the gap on Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at the top of LALIGA 👀 pic.twitter.com/dStL95cTeh— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) February 9, 2025 It was another masterful performance of Hansi Flick’s side, which proved it can score four, let alone win, even without the goals from their brightest star Lamine Yamal.Robert Lewandowski, Fermin Lopez, Eric Garcia, and the amazing Raphinha ensured the culers reduced the gap to table toppers Real Madrid to two points and runners-up Atletico Madrid to a single point.Raphinha’s numbers this season in all competitions is absolutely incredible 🇧🇷🤯 pic.twitter.com/tipO94dH2s— OneFootball (@OneFootball) February 9, 2025 Flick’s boys netted three times in the second half at the Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan stadium, proving they’re in perfect form and that we’ve got ourselves a dramatic three-horse title race that will probably be solved in the last matchday of the season.Ancelotti and Simeone are surely aware of Flick’s superpowers and the versatility of his attacking options, which are excelling this season.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 23Friday Rayo Vallecano – Valladolid 1-0 (0-0)/Garcia 71/Saturday Celta – Betis 3-2 (0-2)/Beltran 63, Rodriguez 65, Swedberg 87 – Antony 10, Llorente 22/Ath.Bilbao – Girona 3-0 (2-0)/Sancet 42 pen, 45+1, 79/Las Palmas – Villarreal 1-2 (0-0)/Fuster 84 – Baena 53, Perez 66/Real Madrid – Atl.
