Takeaway
Expect goals and a fascinating tactical battle, with Raphinha as the key player to watch in Barcelona’s attack.
Barcelona travel to Seville for a La Liga clash that pits the league’s most prolific attack against one of its stingiest defenses. The Blaugrana have scored 28 goals in six matches—a century-old club record—while Sevilla have allowed the second-fewest expected goals in the division. Yet the hosts’ only tough test so far (a 3-1 loss to Atlético Madrid) suggests they may struggle against Barcelona’s relentless pressure. Hansi Flick’s side will be without goalkeeper Joan García, but Wojciech Szczęsny provides reliable cover. Raphinha, with 12 goal contributions, leads a fluid frontline that shows no signs of slowing down. The match kicks off at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
