sevilla Stuns Barcelona 4-1 in LaLiga Clash
SEVILLE,Spain – Sevilla delivered a crushing blow to barcelona‘s LaLiga title aspirations with a dominant 4-1 victory on Saturday,October 5,2025,at Ramón Sánchez-pizjuán Stadium. The result leaves Barcelona trailing league leaders Real Madrid and casts critically important doubt on their ability to mount a serious challenge for the championship.
The defeat marks a damaging setback for Barcelona, particularly given Robert Lewandowski’s missed penalty and a generally disjointed performance from the Catalan giants. Sevilla, simultaneously occurring, showcased a clinical counter-attacking threat and resolute defense, solidifying their position as a formidable force in Spanish football. The loss intensifies pressure on Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández and raises questions about the team’s consistency and ability to perform against top opposition.
Sevilla seized an early lead through a swift counterattack initiated after Jules Koundé was dispossessed in midfield. Ruben Vargas delivered a pinpoint pass into the area, allowing romero to find the back of the net. Barcelona responded before halftime, with Marcus Rashford testing goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos, but ultimately failing to equalize.
Rashford would eventually score in stoppage time, leveling the match with a controlled volley from a well-weighted cross by Pedri. Though, Sevilla regained the lead shortly after the restart, and Barcelona’s momentum was abruptly halted when Lewandowski missed a penalty in the 75th minute after being fouled by Adnan Januzaj.
Further attempts to claw back into the game proved futile. Roony Bardghji was repeatedly denied by Vlachodimos, and a late goal from Adams – initially flagged offside – was followed by a decisive strike from Carmona in the final minute. A late red card for Peque, later overturned, did little to change the outcome as Adams completed the rout with a fourth goal in stoppage time.
Vlachodimos proved pivotal for Sevilla, making several key saves throughout the match, including denying Rashford and eric García. The victory represents a significant statement of intent from Sevilla and a major setback for Barcelona’s title ambitions.
