Sevilla vs. Barcelona: La Liga Match Preview and Stats

Barcelona aims for their seventh consecutive La Liga victory as they face Sevilla. Hansi Flick's squad has demonstrated strong performance early in the season, netting 28 goals in their first six league matches, in addition to five in their single Champions League fixture.

Sevilla secured a 1-0 win against Deportivo, marking their fourth league win this season. This placed Los Rojiblancos fifth with 13 points before the current round of games.

Flick commented on the upcoming match: "Sevilla are a strong side at home, and it's important for us to play with confidence." His team recently achieved a 7-2 victory over Racing Santander, where Raphinha scored a hat-trick.

Flick highlighted Raphinha's pressing ability: "When we start pressing, it is with the number nine. Raphinha has the hunger, intensity and mentality to do that. When his teammates see him doing that, they all do it. The job is not just about scoring goals. We are focusing on our own game. That is our job."
