Sevilla 2 : 2 Barcelona
Last night was the most horrible night for the Blaugrana as they backward by 2 goals from Sevilla. But they settled to draw the match in last 5 minutes of the match as Suarez & Messi both scored respectively.
Messi was forced to watch his country’s humiliating 6-1 defeat by Spain on Tuesday from the stands due to continued muscle discomfort and as he sat in the dugout seeing Barca fall two goals behind to sixth-placed Sevilla, he might have reflected how much his club also seem to rely on him.
France international Umtiti made it easy for Franco Vazquez to give Sevilla the first lead as he left the midfielder unmarked in the area, and the Frenchman was also slow to react in the lead-up to the second goal, scored by Luis Muriel on the rebound. That was the such a tough test for the Barcelona defense although Pique had done really a good job by clearing some crucial ball.
But everything just has been changed when Messi came on for the Dembele in the 58th minute. He just added some extreme mobility in their attacks. And at last Suarez scored the first goal in 88th minute & Messi also scored a decent goal for outside the box in the 89th minute of the game.
“We weren’t able to control their counter-attacks. That’s not happened to us before this season. From three of our own corners, we didn’t control [the counter-attacks] and each one led to danger. That unbalanced us, we had problems.” Valverde said after the match.
