GOAL!!!! Barcelona 2-0 Sevilla (Gavi 71’): IT’S TWO FOR BARÇA!!! Jules Kounde plays an excellent ball over the top to find the run of Raphinha, and the Brazilian splits open the Sevilla defense with a perfect pass to find Gavi all alone for a tap-in at the far post!!!
GOAL!!!! Barcelona 1-0 Sevilla (Alba 58’): BARÇA TAKE THE LEAD!!! After a long sequence of possession the Blaugrana finally find space inside the box and Franck Kessie sets up Jordi Alba who finds the bottom corner and puts the home team ahead!!!
SECOND HALF KICKOFF! Barcelona 0-0 Sevilla: Back underway at Camp Nou!
HALFTIME, Barcelona 0-0 Sevilla: A good first half from Barça with plenty of possession and dangerous attacks but poor finishing in the final third. Sevilla grew into the game and finished the half well, and the second half promises to be tough.
KICKOFF! Barcelona 0-0 Sevilla: And we’re underway at Camp Nou!

Matchday Thread Rules
We don’t have a lot of rules here, but there are a few things to keep in mind when joining our matchday threads:
Even if the referee sucks or we lose the game, watch the swearing. It’s just unnecessary. Also, don’t discuss illegal streaming links. Those who do it will be warned, and those who post links will be instantly banned. Finally, be nice to each other. This is a Barcelona community and we don’t need to offend one another.
Have fun with the game! Forever and ever, no matter the competition, VISCA EL BARÇA!
