👀 Barça lose their heads: Sevilla and VAR frustrate Flick and co

FC Barcelona is still unbeaten in LaLiga so far. So far. That could change today. Because FC Sevilla has caught the Catalans off guard this Sunday afternoon. 

It seems as if Hansi Flick’s team hasn’t really shown up on the pitch yet. The hosts clearly set the tone in the first half and benefited early on from a penalty decision after a VAR review. 

Barça captain Ronald Araujo left his leg out and then looked at the referee in disbelief over his shoulder during the check on the sideline.

The resulting penalty was converted by Alexis Sanchez, a familiar face to the Blaugrana. Even after that, Barcelona couldn’t get into the game, allowing numerous big chances. 

Isaac squandered a golden opportunity from just a few meters out shortly before halftime, but immediately made up for it by successfully finishing another strong counterattack.

The mood among the Sevillistas is correspondingly exuberant. They would have gone into the dressing room in even better spirits if Marcus Rashford hadn’t scored the goal to make it 2-1 in the seventh minute of first-half stoppage time.

Has Barça finally woken up now? The second half will tell. The loss of the top spot in the table is at stake.
