Barcelona entertained Sevilla at the Nou Camp earlier tonight as they looked to secure all three points at home in La Liga. The Catalan club made a good start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 24th minute when Robert Lewandowski scored from the penalty spot. Pedri doubled Barca’s advantage just four minutes later before Lewandowski scored again in the 39th minute. Hansi Flick’s men went into the half-time break 3-0 up on the scoreline.
Pablo Torre scored for Barcelona in the 82nd minute before Stanis Idumbo got a goal back for the visitors just five minutes later. Torre added another goal soon after as the Catalan club cruised to a dominant 5-1 win in front of their home fans.
