The supporters went on cheering as Messi took position with the set piece solo, just outside the Sevilla penalty box. With his brilliant left foot, the Blaugrana attacker’s calculated chip went above the Pij@s’ wall, and dipped in just right, past Tomáš Vaclík into the net.
A star studded Barça side proved to be dominant over former Real Madrid coach Lopetegui’s new club. The hosts took the lead in the 27th minute, thanks to Luis Suárez, and within the next eight minutes they were up ahead by 3 goals, as Arturo Vidal and Ousmane Dembélé both found their names up on the score sheet in the 32nd and 35th minute.
Barcelona are now 2nd in the league table with 16 points, and will be facing SD Eibar on 19th October at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium.
