Winner By “Goleada”

by Elizabeth Hanchett, in New York

Barça have done it again. After a shaky beginning of the season with five points lost at home since league competition began, the blaugrana received Sevilla, a side which has consistently been troublesome for the Catalans. Sevilla knocked them out of the last edition of the King’s Cup earlier this year and almost cost Barcelona their Spanish Supercup in August. Despite missing first keeper Andrés Palop due to injury, Barça also went into the match knowing it was going to be a tough one. Coach Pep Guardiola stated in a press conference yesterday that Sevilla was a great team and that “it will be a huge match”.
