Was involved in two almost-goals, creating one very smart move for Ansu Fati. The Pole then got his well-deserved goal with a sensational pass from Jules Kounde, to which he did full justice. Raphinha is slowly but surely making the right-wing his home. Tasked with containing the Sevilla frontline, he made just three saves, but two of them were incredible, well and truly. Today, too, he was superb, picking out every unmarked player through crosses. Julien Lopetegui had the ideal blueprint to stop Barcelona, in theory, today.
Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele all dazzled -- as did Gavi -- in another impressive win for Barcelona, this time over Sevilla.

It was easy to lose count of the key balls that Gavi won during the match and no surprise to see him named the man of the match. Barca lost Eric to injury shortly afterwards but he played down injury fears after the match and insisted he was OK which is good news for Barca. Xavi went with Eric again at Sevilla and the Spain international was again impressive after a tough start. He needed five games to score his first goal in the Premier League and seven in the Ligue 1. It’s hardly a surprise that Gavi was all fired up at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuain either. The striker conjured up a lovely dink that almost went in but was hooked off the line and straight to Raphinha to nod home from close range. Eric went on to pop up with his first ever Barcelona goal to make it 3-0. Lewandowski had faced Sevilla five times previously (twice with Dortmund and three time with Bayern) but had not managed to find the back of the net. If it hadn’t been for the offside flag and Marc-Andre ter Stegen the hosts could have been a couple up before Raphinha scored. Raphinha’s whipped cross in was headed back across goal by Kounde for Eric Garcia to knock home the visitors’ third and effectively end the game as a contest. Lewandowski may have cost €50 million at the age of 33, which is a huge amount for an ageing player, but already looks a very sound investment indeed. The Poland international controlled a ball in from Kounde beautifully on his chest before slamming past the goalkeeper.

That, in itself, is a testament to the impact he had on the game. When released into space by Dembele, he chipped the ball over the goalkeeper and was unlucky to not get the goal. Receiving the ball from Jules Kounde, he calmly controlled it with his chest in one touch and volleyed it past Bono. Not even four games have passed in the new season and the Polish international has already managed to silence his critics. However, it was on another level at the Ramon Sanchez Pijzuan on Saturday. Xavi did not make any changes in his starting lineup for the game at the Ramon Sanchez Pijzuan, and the decision paid off.
