Barcelona beat Sevilla 3-1 at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.

The LaLiga encounter between Sevilla and Barcelona unfolded on 19 September 2026 under the lights of the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in Sevilla. Both sides entered the match looking to establish early momentum in the Spanish top flight, and the atmosphere was electric as the home fans anticipated a strong showing from their team.

How it unfolded

The opening stages were tightly contested until the 19th minute, when Sevilla took the lead. Youssouf Fofana rose to meet a close-range delivery from Félix Correia and headed the ball into the top left corner, giving the hosts a 1-0 advantage. The celebration was short-lived, however, as Barcelona responded swiftly three minutes later. Raphinha, operating from the left side of the box, unleashed a right-footed shot that slipped into the bottom right corner, level-setting the score at 1-1 with an assist from Andreas Christensen.

The second half saw Barcelona seize control. In the 52nd minute, Raphinha headed in from the centre of the box after a precise cross from Lamine Yamal, putting the Catalans ahead 2-1. The goal reinforced Barcelona’s growing dominance and shifted the match’s momentum firmly in their favour.

Sevilla attempted to regroup, but Barcelona continued to press. The decisive blow came in the 69th minute when Raphinha, this time with his left foot, fired a powerful shot from the centre of the box into the net, again assisted by Lamine Yamal, this time with a through ball. The score moved to 3-1, and Barcelona began to manage the game, preserving their lead.

The match’s only disciplinary incident arrived in the 80th minute when Lucien Agoumé was booked for a foul, receiving a yellow card. No further cards or dismissals were recorded, and the game concluded with Barcelona comfortably ahead.

Standout performers

Raphinha was the clear star of the evening, delivering a hat-trick that accounted for all three of Barcelona’s goals. His ability to score from both feet and his aerial presence made a decisive impact. Lamine Yamal provided two vital assists, first with a cross and then with a through ball, showcasing his creativity and vision.

For Sevilla, Youssouf Fofana’s early header gave his side the opening lead and demonstrated his threat on set pieces. Félix Correia’s assist for that goal highlighted his contribution to Sevilla’s attacking play.
