Barcelona is an excuse to watch Ronaldinho's first goal in a Barcelona shirt. The match from the Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan will kick off at 21:00 local time on Saturday night. Big save by Barcelona 'keeper Ter Stegen against Ivan Rakitic in a one-on-one. Centre-back Karim Rekik and Jesus 'Tecatito' Corona are out, with new forward Kasper Dolberg available off the bench for a potential debut after his Transfer Deadline Day move. And although the Sevilla defenders cleared off the line, it went right to Raphinha, who headed home at the goal line. A counterattack finished with a wayward shot from Marcos Acuna, then a shots by En-Nesyri and Isco are scratched for offside. Jose Angel and Delaney are in for Gudelj and Jordan. Beautiful driven ball by Jules Kounde from the right side, and Lewandowski is clinical. Dembele-Lewandowski-Raphinha all combined on the first, and then Lewandowski showed his class on the second goal with a clinical control and finish. Erik Lamela has two bites at a ball in the box but Eric Garcia gets in his way on both occasions. The club's prized signing of the summer, Lewandowski is up to four goals in three games in La Liga.

Kounde headed a pass from Dembélé into the path of Eric Garcia, and the defender made it 3-0 to decisively kill off the game. Thankfully, it fell into the path of Raphinha, who gratefully accepted the gift and headed home his first Barcelona goal. The home side started brightly at the Román Sánchez Pizjuán, but Barça rode the wave, drawing the sting from Sevilla, before hitting them with a flurry of knockout blows.

The appointment of Xavi Hernandez has been a boon for FC Barcelona in multiple aspects, with the club notably yet to lose an away game in La Liga under the ...

However, given their technical astute nature, players such as Raphinha and Fati are capable of starting to exert their dominance in the Barcelona frontline. Three of them have been attempted by former Leeds United star Raphinha while the other one was attempted by Ansu Fati. It was the Argentine’s 50th goal from a direct free-kick, which was scored against Valencia in early May 2021.

Against Sevilla, he attempted 44 passes, 40 of which were completed. He is a heart with legs."

That, in itself, is a testament to the impact he had on the game. When released into space by Dembele, he chipped the ball over the goalkeeper and was unlucky to not get the goal. Receiving the ball from Jules Kounde, he calmly controlled it with his chest in one touch and volleyed it past Bono. Not even four games have passed in the new season and the Polish international has already managed to silence his critics. However, it was on another level at the Ramon Sanchez Pijzuan on Saturday.

Another followed at the start of the second half. Raphinha's whipped cross in was headed back across goal by Kounde for Eric Garcia to knock home the visitors' ...

It was easy to lose count of the key balls that Gavi won during the match and no surprise to see him named the man of the match. Barca lost Eric to injury shortly afterwards but he played down injury fears after the match and insisted he was OK which is good news for Barca. Xavi went with Eric again at Sevilla and the Spain international was again impressive after a tough start. He needed five games to score his first goal in the Premier League and seven in the Ligue 1. It’s hardly a surprise that Gavi was all fired up at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuain either. The striker conjured up a lovely dink that almost went in but was hooked off the line and straight to Raphinha to nod home from close range. Eric went on to pop up with his first ever Barcelona goal to make it 3-0. Lewandowski had faced Sevilla five times previously (twice with Dortmund and three time with Bayern) but had not managed to find the back of the net. If it hadn’t been for the offside flag and Marc-Andre ter Stegen the hosts could have been a couple up before Raphinha scored. Raphinha’s whipped cross in was headed back across goal by Kounde for Eric Garcia to knock home the visitors’ third and effectively end the game as a contest. Lewandowski may have cost €50 million at the age of 33, which is a huge amount for an ageing player, but already looks a very sound investment indeed. The Poland international controlled a ball in from Kounde beautifully on his chest before slamming past the goalkeeper.

Born in 2007, Barcelona's latest gem coming out of La Masia, Lamine Yamal, has grabbed everyone's attention through his spectacular goals.

Now, he is not the quickest out there, but he more than makes up for it through his eye-catching dribbling. Despite that, he has managed to impress the coaching staff with his poaching abilities and finishing techniques.
