Barcelona come back to life in Sevilla
From 2-0 down they rescucitated themselves and ended up with a draw
Incredible. Barcelona stunned La Liga by coming from behind in a game which looked like it was beyond their reach. They made a miracle comeback from the dead, which started when Leo Messi came on. It was an exciting finale which leaves them with the chance to achieve an unbeaten record in La Liga. And the title draws closer after they got a draw against a rival who was having a genuinely great game.
It was not a good game for Ernesto Valverde's men, and they don't need to hide it. It seems Barca were already thinking about playing Roma in the Champions League and they didn't appear at the Sanchez Pizjuan with 10 minutes to go. The lack of intensity left Sevilla sitting pretty. Until Leo came on and delivered an unexpected joy.
Messi brought electric attacking play and finishing ability, but Barca's defence was worrying, leaking water and the midfield was broken without Busquets. Coutinho showed up but Dembele was switched off. Something like this could cost Barcelona in Europe. Messi always appears but Barca should take note.
