FC Barcelona and FC Sevilla face each other this Friday for the 7th day of La Liga (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
Third in La Liga after a frustrating draw in Mallorca (2-2), Barça has the opportunity to temporarily regain control of the Spanish championship this Friday evening, at the start of the 7th day. For this, the Blaugrana will have to do the job against a Seville team stuck in the soft underbelly of the ranking (13th) and difficult to read.
However, Xavi does not underestimate the last winner of the Europa League. “ Sevilla are Europa League champions, Mendilibar is doing a great job, it will be a difficult match. Winning is always the key to the next match. In Mallorca, we didn’t have a bad match. Anything that involves winning will give us a good feeling about the next one.“
The Barça coach expects a reaction from his men, in terms of rigor. A point which was the strength of his team last season. “ We need to be more involved. It’s not true that it’s difficult for us to play against five-man defenses. We created a lot. We fail defensively. On offense, we improved. We need to improve defensively to win titles”.

FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen – Cancelo, Araujo, Koundé, Balde – Gündogan, Romeu, Gavi – Raphinha, Lewandowski, Félix.
