Trailing 2-0 deep into the second half, Sevilla rallied in spectacular fashion. Youssef En-Nesyri sparked the comeback in the 85th minute, heading home a cross from Jesus Navas. Just two minutes later, Ivan Rakitic, the former Barcelona midfielder, leveled the scores with a thunderous strike from the edge of the area. Barcelona looked stunned as Sevilla continued to push forward relentlessly. In the 92nd minute, Marcos Acuna provided the final blow, curling home a free-kick from the edge of the box. The Camp Nou crowd erupted in disbelief as Sevilla secured a remarkable 3-2 victory. Sevilla’s triumph marked a significant upset in La Liga. Barcelona, the league leaders, had been unbeaten in their previous six matches and were firm favorites going into the clash. However, Sevilla’s determination and fighting spirit proved too much for the Catalans. The victory was particularly sweet for Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui, who had been under pressure after a disappointing run of form. The result lifted Sevilla to fourth place in the standings, just two points behind Real Madrid, who occupy second place. For Barcelona, the defeat is a major setback in their title race. The Catalans remain top of the table, but their lead over Real Madrid has been reduced to three points. The loss also raises questions about Barcelona’s defensive resilience, as they have now conceded 13 goals in their last six matches. Sevilla’s late comeback will go down as one of the most memorable moments of the season. It was a triumph of heart and determination, and a testament to the belief of Lopetegui’s players.
