Barcelona beat Sevilla convincingly 4:1 away in a match from the 23rd round of the Spanish La Liga.

Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in the seventh minute after a header from Inigo Martinez, deflecting the ball past goalkeeper Orjan Nyland to the far post. The hosts restored parity through Ruben Vargas, but after the break there was only one team on the pitch. Barca killed the intrigue in the first ten minutes of the second half after goals from Fermin Lopez and Raphinha. Fermin, who came off the bench, went to the dressing rooms prematurely after a direct red card. However, Eric Garcia scored the fourth goal for the Andalusians in the end.

Thus, Hansi Flick's team took full advantage of the draw between Real and Atletico in the city derby and is now a point behind Atleti, who is second in the table, and two behind the leader Real. Sevilla is in 13th position with 28 points.

In the next round, Barcelona welcomes Rayo Vallecano, while Sevilla visits last-place Valladolid.
