FC Barcelona got the better of Sevilla FC this Friday at the opening of the 8th day of La Liga (1-0).

Against the backdrop of diplomatic war between Barça and Sevilla FC, the Andalusian leaders having refused to travel to the Camp Nou as an official delegation to voice their indignation at the revelations of the Negreira affair (named after the old number two from the Spanish arbitration, suspected of having been corrupted by the Catalan club when he was in office), FC Barcelona victoriously opened the 8e La Liga lift this Friday evening.

But it was hard for Xavi’s men, quickly deprived of the services of Raphinha who was injured (37e) and definitely hardly spared at the start of the season if we also observe the absences of Pedri and De Jong. To win, by the smallest of margins, the Blaugranas had to rely on an own goal from Ramos at the start of the last quarter of an hour.

Despite himself, the defender, freshly returned to the fold after his long merengue parenthesis and a visit to PSG, took a point-blank delivery from the young Yamal’s clever header, deceiving the vigilance of Nyland (1-0, 76e). A forceps achievement which is enough for the happiness of the Catalans, provisional leaders of the Iberian elite while awaiting the surprising clash at the top between Girona and Real Madrid this Saturday.
