FC Barcelona 5-1 Sevilla: Super leader puts on a show to scare Bayern and Real Madrid

FC Barcelona welcomed Sevilla to the Estadi Olimpic Lluís Companys in the match corresponding to matchday 10 of LaLiga EA Sports 2024-2025. The team managed by Hansi Flick returned to action in the league championship with a real 'recital' in Montjuïc (5-1), led by Robert Lewandowski who celebrated his fourth double of the season. With this victory, the Catalans remain sole leaders, adding 27 points out of 30 possible and are 3 points away from their closest pursuer, Real Madrid, before the Clásico next Saturday.

Eric García's injury in the warm-ups before the match 'scared' the Catalans with a difficult night, but nothing could be further from the truth. Barça scored at will, dominating the game from the first minute with Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and Pedri as great threats outside the area and 'Lewy' punishing inside it. The Pole opened the scoring from the penalty spot and sealed the match in just 30 minutes by scoring the third goal, while the Canary Islander scored the second goal of the night with a spectacular shot from the half-moon.

Gavi saw minutes with Barça again

The second half was practically testimonial, although one event stood out above the rest. Despite Pablo Torre increasing Barça's lead with a double and Idumbo scoring for Sevilla, Gavi stole the show when he returned to the pitch 355 days after his knee injury. The Andalusian entered the field in the 83rd minute to replace Pedri and received a standing ovation from Montjuïc, where the excitement is at its peak with the return of the '6'.

In this way, the Catalan team starts the first big week of the season on the right foot, being sole leaders of the tournament, three points behind their closest pursuers, Real Madrid, ahead of the Clásico next Saturday, October 26, and makes a statement before facing Bayern Munich on Wednesday, October 23 in the Champions League.
