Sevilla Shocks Barcelona with a 4-1 LaLiga Win

  Sevilla delivered a stunning and emphatic 4-1 victory over Barcelona at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium on Sunday, marking Barcelona's first league defeat of the season in LaLiga 2025-2026.

 This win ended the Catalans' unbeaten streak and halted their chance to reclaim the top spot in the league standings, leaving Barcelona two points behind leaders Real Madrid.

Sevilla opened the scoring in the 13th minute through a penalty converted by Alexis Sanchez, following a foul on Isaac Romero near Barcelona's penalty area.

 Romero then doubled Sevilla's lead in the 37th minute. Barcelona managed to pull one goal back just before halftime when Marcus Rashford scored from a lobbed assist by Pedri, making it 2-1 at halftime.

Barcelona had a key opportunity to level the game when Robert Lewandowski was awarded a penalty in the 76th minute after Adnan Januzaj fouled Alejandro Balde.

 However, Lewandowski missed the penalty, shooting wide, which proved costly for Barcelona.

Sevilla wrapped up the victory with late goals from Jose Angel Carmona and Akor Adams, securing a comprehensive 4-1 win.

The match highlighted Sevilla's intensity, defensive solidity, and clinical finishing, which outmatched Barcelona's efforts.

 Barcelona midfielder Pedri pointed out the team's shortcomings in both defense and attack during the first half and emphasized the need for improvement after the defeat.

This result places Sevilla provisionally in the fourth position in LaLiga, showing significant improvement from their struggles last season, while Barcelona remain second in the league but now face pressure from Real Madrid at the top.

 Overall, the match was a notable upset given Barcelona's recent dominance over Sevilla in their head-to-head confrontations but demonstrated Sevilla's resurgence and capacity to challenge the Spanish champions on their home turf.
