Sevilla Stun Barcelona 4-1 with Dominant Display at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan
Sevilla delivered a statement performance on October 5, 2025, dismantling Barcelona 4-1 in a La Liga clash that showcased their sharp attacking instincts and disciplined defensive structure. The emphatic win at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan reaffirmed Sevilla’s resurgence under pressure and left Hansi Flick’s Barcelona reeling.
The hosts made their intentions clear early on, taking the lead in the 13th minute when former Barcelona forward Alexis Sánchez coolly converted a penalty. Sevilla maintained control throughout the first half, and Isaac Romero doubled their advantage in the 36th minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse as Barcelona struggled to settle into rhythm.
Just before halftime, Barcelona found a lifeline through Marcus Rashford, who volleyed home in the seventh minute of stoppage time to make it 2-1 and spark brief hopes of a comeback. Flick’s side pressed hard after the interval, dominating possession but failing to break through Sevilla’s well-drilled defensive lines.
The game’s pivotal moment arrived in the 76th minute when Robert Lewandowski had a golden opportunity to equalize from the penalty spot. The Polish striker, however, missed — a costly error that deflated Barcelona’s momentum and energized the home crowd.
Sevilla punished their opponents’ wastefulness in the closing stages. José Ángel Carmona made it 3-1 in the 89th minute, and Akor Adams added a fourth deep into stoppage time to seal a stunning victory.
The result lifts Sevilla into the top half of the La Liga standings, highlighting their improving form and tactical discipline. For Barcelona, the defeat represents a major setback in their title challenge, with Real Madrid reclaiming top spot before the international break.
With defensive errors mounting and confidence shaken, Flick and his players now face the challenge of regrouping quickly — both to steady results and to restore belief ahead of a demanding run of fixtures.
