The absence of these players clearly did affect the game. There is always a such an intense pressure from the Barcelona flanks when these guys are on the pitch and that was clearly lacking when they faced off Sevilla yesterday. Sevilla was there better all game and there was little Barcelona players could do to change the game. The attack was dull and the defense was weak.

This shows just how dependable Barcelona has been on these two players especially, Yamal. Good thing the international break is at hand else, they could have faced further point drops.

I honestly never saw it coming, I thought that this was a game Barcelona would have won easily based on their recent record against this Sevilla in their past five meetings where they won five out of five, but that's football anyway, nothing is impossible.

As for this current Barcelona team, they are just too weak defensively, and to be sincere here, they will surely struggle against any top team that knows how to attack and defend their goal, so they were very lucky that the international break is here just as you have said already, hansi flick should use this time to analyze what and what that has gone wrong and what he needs to do to fix them, because after the international break, their will be no hiding place for his Barcelona team if they don't improve, since games will be coming thick and fast.

Barcelona will have to rethink their plans again after this defeat against Sevilla. Hansi Flick will now have to consider where their weaknesses lie and what is the main reason for their high goal difference. Their loss is not acceptable in any way. This loss is only the result of Barcelona poor performance against a weaker team than them, Sevilla. If the difference had been a little lower, it would have been acceptable, but conceding 4 goals is a bit humiliating for Barca against a weaker team. Lewandowski missed penalty helped turn the match against them even more. Sevilla intense pace and impressive finishing in the match destroyed Barca defense.

It was almost certain that Barcelona would win and move ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the table on points but they were not able to do so. Despite scoring their first goal of the La Liga season, Rashford could not give the team the victory.

[Rgram]

The result of their match must have stunned everyone, as Barcelona lost, especially since statistically, Barcelona actually had a slight advantage over Sevilla. But the never-give-up home team was blessed with a high degree of luck, allowing Sevilla to take the lead in the first half and then regain the lead in the second half in the final minutes of the match. And if Lewandowski hadn't missed a penalty, perhaps Barcelona would have had enough spirit to equalize until the final minutes of the match.

Barcelona really messed. I was so disappointed. They had so many goals scoring opportunities but wasted everything. How can you win a football match when you can’t even convert your chances? You can not just keep missing and expect magic to happen.

I already knew Barcelona would suffer in this game because of the absence of Yamal and Raphinha in the flanks but I didn’t expect it would be this bad. Losing 4-1 to Sevilla is not just a loss, it’s an embarrassment. Barcelona looked weak, confused, and not serious at all. No fighting spirit, no confidence, nothing.

[adultcrypto]

I'm beginning to observe a trend among the big teams which is that whenever they lose a match, they carry the effect of that to their next game which they will likely lose or struggle to win. That happened to Liverpool and they have not even come out of it. The same thing is happening to Barcelona too and I hope they are able to come out of it soon. It is a new terrible psychological problem that managers should pay attention to because it can ruin the self-esteem of the team and the consequences will be severe. Sevilla played better than I expected, hence they deserve the win.  

[Luzin]

It was almost certain that Barcelona would win and move ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the table on points but they were not able to do so. Despite scoring their first goal of the La Liga season, Rashford could not give the team the victory.

The result was surprising, and the goal difference was quite large. I thought Barcelona could win. But Villarreal is a good team. Villarreal lost due to possession, but they were effective in scoring goals. These conditions make the competition difficult again. Of course, this situation is very advantageous for Madrid, as they remain firmly at the top, despite the small gap. Next, Madrid must maintain consistency; they must try to keep winning and get the three points.

[Out of mind]

Barcelona took the statistical lead and yet we're unable to take the lead in match, if not for Rashford, technically Barcelona would have given Sevilla a clean sheet record, this happens to bee one if the unluckiest day for Barcelona because they actually did played well only that they were not as lucky meanwhile Rashford was awarded the MODM which I believe he was very deserving of it , his efforts were very much visible enough to give him the award.

Barcelona played without several of their top players, particularly their attacking players (main wingers):
- Yamal - absent
- Rapinha - absent

This turned out to be quite an impact, even though Lewandowski and Rashford were still available. Fortunately, Rashford scored the opening goal, only one. However, their weakness this time was in their finishing, if we look at the statistics. And unfortunately, Lewandowski missed a penalty.

Now, Barcelona back to second place, Real Madrid elading at top standing of La Liga

Source: LEAGUE TABLE UPDATE

The team has felt very weak in the absence of Barcelona players, which is why they can finish well. Moreover, we can continuously see that Barcelona's performance is not improving as before, but rather showing weakness. No one imagined that a strong team like Sevilla would lose by such a margin, just because two players are absent, their performance has gone so low. So we can be sure that if a star player gets injured this season, Barcelona will completely collapse. And according to their current performance, they may have little chance of competing and winning the title this season. If Barcelona loses points in the next matches, it will definitely be bad for them, and currently Real Madrid's performance has improved a bit and they have moved to the top of the points table.

[Solokan]

I didn't expect Barcelona to play so poorly in yesterday's match, as they were defeated by Sevilla with a score of 4-1. Sevilla certainly looked very good and played with confidence in that match, as they were able to capitalize on their opportunities well. Sanchesz, Romero, Carmona, and Adams played exceptionally well, becoming the heroes of Sevilla in that match as they scored goals against Barcelona. As the home team, the Sevilla players succeeded in making their fans happy because defeating Barcelona is certainly something to be proud of. Matias Almeyda certainly succeeded in creating a good strategy because he was able to defeat Hansi Flick's strategy.

Many Barcelona fans must have been disappointed in that match because Barcelona, which is a strong team, was defeated by Sevilla. Now Hansi Flick must really come up with a better strategy for the future because there will certainly still be opportunities for Barcelona to perform better in upcoming matches. Rashford certainly performed well in this match because he scored the goal, but it was unfortunate that Lewandowski failed to execute the penalty kick well, which ultimately did not result in a goal. In this match, I lost my bet because I thought Barcelona would win, but unfortunately, Barcelona lost. Did you also lose your bet in this match?

[tottong]

But let's not put all the blame on injuries. Barcelona also lost to a PSG side that was heavily hit with injuries as well, even with Yamal on the team. I think we should just accept that sometimes there are bad games.

Any reason can be offered, but I agree they should accept this defeat because Sevilla played better and were quite solid defensively.
Barcelona had a chance to equalize through Lewandowski's penalty, but he missed the penalty, which was the beginning of their defeat.
This shows the impact of the weak performance displayed by several players, resulting in Barcelona suffering another defeat.
This was a chance to maintain their lead at the top of the table, ahead of Real Madrid, but Barcelona squandered it.

[Tamaperdana]

Yes, in this match, Real Madrid's players played quite well, and that's why they were able to win quite comfortably. Although, I personally regret that they still conceded. I was hoping Real Madrid could win without conceding. However, it seems Real Madrid's defense isn't very good at the moment. That's why they still conceded against a team of Villarreal's stature. Nevertheless, I appreciate their victory, and Mbappé did play quite well. Furthermore, with this win, Real Madrid has returned to the top of La Liga.



However, I don't think Real Madrid will be able to stay at the top for long, as Barcelona will play Sevilla tonight, and I'm very confident that Barcelona will win that match. Sevilla's current form is truly poor. So, with that in mind, I'm very confident that Barcelona will definitely win tonight. Therefore, it seems Real Madrid won't be at the top of the table for long. Because, if Barcelona beats Sevilla tonight, Real Madrid will definitely drop back down to 2nd place.

Athletic Bilbao : won

Real Madrid : won

Barcelona : pending...

This is how it looks in my parlay now.    I got more worried about Athletic Bilbao there honestly. Yeah maybe they had a dominant game but still that equalizer was enough to make me nervous.

Real Madrid did it in a really nice way. I didn't doubt them in any part of the game because of their being in control from the beginning to the end.

Now I just hope Barcelona don't make me sad. They need to improve the performance we watched in the PSG game.

Honestly, I was really disappointed with Barcelona's performance last night. They were defeated by a very heavy score by Sevilla, whose performance isn't very good at the moment. I don't know what caused this, but Barcelona's defeat in this match was definitely beyond my expectations. I really hoped Barcelona would win this match by a big score. But it turned out that Barcelona's result in this match was completely the opposite. Perhaps injuries to players like Yamal and Raphinha were the real cause of Barcelona's defeat. Barcelona actually controlled the game very well in this match.

But unfortunately, they couldn't capitalize on the opportunities they created in this match. Because in this match, Barcelona only managed to score one goal, scored by Rashford. So, with this defeat, Barcelona currently remains in second place, while Real Madrid remains at the top of the standings. Yes, the point is, I'm really disappointed with Barcelona in this match, because I lost my bet in the end.

The result was surprising, and the goal difference was quite large. I thought Barcelona could win. But Villarreal is a good team. Villarreal lost due to possession, but they were effective in scoring goals. These conditions make the competition difficult again. Of course, this situation is very advantageous for Madrid, as they remain firmly at the top, despite the small gap. Next, Madrid must maintain consistency; they must try to keep winning and get the three points.

More precisely it's not Villarreal but Sevilla and this gives Real Madrid an opportunity to regain first place in the standings. The competition will indeed be increasingly interesting because these two teams will continue to fight to stay at the top of the standings. If they fail again in their next match, it could create opportunities for other teams, as Villarreal is also chasing that position. Now the battle for the top five will be much more interesting because the points difference between several teams is very close.

[Gallar]

The momentum is good, and Xabi must maintain this momentum to create a conducive atmosphere in the Madrid dressing room. Perhaps last week's defeat to Atletico Madrid prompted them to reconsider the provocation of Atletico players, especially Vinicius. They possess great ability and support each other. So, Madrid will develop an ideal team atmosphere, and perhaps they will improve even further in the future.
Even if only temporarily, Madrid's results will certainly bring them back to the top. Perhaps Barcelona will win, though. Barcelona will face Sevilla. But Barcelona will be traveling to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, meaning the pressure of playing at home is even greater.

You're right, this season is truly a great opportunity for Xabi, as Real Madrid's chances of becoming La Liga champions are wide open. Their rivals, Barcelona, ​​are currently in poor form, as evidenced by their loss to Sevilla, which is clear evidence of Barcelona's current poor performance. So, with that in mind, I think Real Madrid has a good chance of becoming La Liga champions. They are currently at the top of the table, and given the current situation, I think they will remain in that position for a long time.

Initially, I thought Real Madrid would drop again, but now I've changed my mind, and it seems that favoring Real Madrid is much better than favoring Barcelona. So, with this in mind, I don't think Xabi should give Barcelona any more room to overtake them. If Xabi and Real Madrid can do that well, I think Real Madrid will likely be champions again this season in La Liga. Because currently many of Barcelona's main players are injured, so with that in mind, I think this is the right moment for Xabi to win a trophy with Real Madrid.

[hyudien]

So, this week, of the title contenders, only Real Madrid achieved the desired result.
Barcelona, ​​as we know suffered a massacre against Sevilla (a team that fought against relegation last season). Similarly Atletico Madrid, after a goal-fest at Civitas Metropolitano last week, struggled against Celta and only managed one point this week. I wonder if the bookmakers have changed the odds based on this week results? Previously, Barcelona was the top contender, but now Real Madrid is likely to be in first place.

[Olatundespo]

Barcelona took the statistical lead and yet we're unable to take the lead in match, if not for Rashford, technically Barcelona would have given Sevilla a clean sheet record, this happens to bee one if the unluckiest day for Barcelona because they actually did played well only that they were not as lucky meanwhile Rashford was awarded the MODM which I believe he was very deserving of it , his efforts were very much visible enough to give him the award.

And if Lewandowski hadn't missed a penalty, perhaps Barcelona would have had enough spirit to equalize until the final minutes of the match.

I agree with you that if Lewandowski had not missed the penalty, the match could have been a positive outcome for Barcelona. It is surprising that an experienced player like him missed the shot. This could happen if the match was against a strong team and there was a lot of pressure to win the match. I think Barcelona were not under that much pressure and they were consistent in every match. This sudden drop in their rhythm might worry Hansi Flick. Any strong team can lose to a weak team but if the goal difference is high then you should be worried because Barcelona have the best players and their defense is quite strong. I hope Hansi Flick's team will continue to play as expected in the next matches.

I wonder if the bookmakers have changed the odds based on this week results? Previously, Barcelona was the top contender, but now Real Madrid is likely to be in first place.

I'm finding it really hard to understand the whole scenario because we can tell what's wrong with Barcelona team and Atletico de Madrid. Barcelona fans just keep bantering and complaining about the poor condition of the team base on the absence of key players. Barcelona headcoach, Hansi Flick should adapt to a new strategy because this is not the Barcelona team we've watched previous season winning titles, they even got hit by injuries on main players but still manage to bounce back but this season have been entirely different. The Barca highline is no longer effective, we've seen alot happen lately for the club. They're not making essential means to grow and got humiliated by Sevilla who happen to be the underdogs.

[Furious 7]

I hope Hansi Flick's team will continue to play as expected in the next matches.

This kind of situation is actually quite normal because mistakes can happen in any game, and the same goes for Lewa. Even though we know his capabilities, things like this can happen, and it's clearly a situation that can be described as bad luck.
However, what sets this apart is that his failure resulted in the worst possible outcome, with Barcelona unable to secure three points, which has drawn considerable attention.

Regardless, the players' performance did not look good here either. Although they had possession as usual, we also saw that they lost their direction a little in their build-up play, which caused them to be slightly hampered.
On the other hand, I quite like how Sevilla approached the match against Barcelona. They didn't hold back too much and focused solely on defense, which is a fairly bold move for Sevilla, but they were capable of pulling it off. The three points are well deserved for Sevilla given Barcelona's lack of direction.

[Jostern]

Yes, in this match, Real Madrid's players played quite well, and that's why they were able to win quite comfortably. Although, I personally regret that they still conceded. I was hoping Real Madrid could win without conceding. However, it seems Real Madrid's defense isn't very good at the moment. That's why they still conceded against a team of Villarreal's stature. Nevertheless, I appreciate their victory, and Mbappé did play quite well. Furthermore, with this win, Real Madrid has returned to the top of La Liga.



However, I don't think Real Madrid will be able to stay at the top for long, as Barcelona will play Sevilla tonight, and I'm very confident that Barcelona will win that match. Sevilla's current form is truly poor. So, with that in mind, I'm very confident that Barcelona will definitely win tonight. Therefore, it seems Real Madrid won't be at the top of the table for long. Because, if Barcelona beats Sevilla tonight, Real Madrid will definitely drop back down to 2nd place.

Athletic Bilbao : won

I don't know what caused this, but Barcelona's defeat in this match was definitely beyond my expectations. I really hoped Barcelona would win this match by a big score.

Yes, the point is, I'm really disappointed with Barcelona in this match, because I lost my bet in the end.

Barcelona performance was very very poor yesterday, and it was a horrible game that they played, but I believe that the game was just something that shows fatigue in the team, because it’s never easy playing Wednesday and also playing on Sunday, after all they are all professional and likewise they are human and are bound to make mistakes so it’s quite normal.

And Barcelona have been missing some few players, like Raphinha and Lamine Yamal but that wouldn’t be used as an excuse because things like this happens so often, injuries are part of the football games, what is now important is how to play through that injury.

Seville was very good and spectacular to have beaten Barcelona the way they did, that means they must also be a strong team as well, but I have not really watched this Seville team in recent times, after they sold some players who were very good for them, well one performance can’t be used to justify how good they are.

[promise444c5]

Barcelona played without several of their top players, particularly their attacking players (main wingers):
- Yamal - absent
- Rapinha - absent

So the ones available can’t produce  a single goal without these guy??s.. which is why hansiflick still needs to do something regarding it i. e find atleast 1~2 good replacements.
Also, i mentioned they are somehow wasteful.. in my previous comments, i think it’s pretty clear now. i mean you could see how so many opportunities aee being wasted by these forwards on that very day.

[IjawMan]

The big clubs winning the small fry clubs has become normal that we have discarded that this is football and unpredictable game that even the best teams get humiliated by the underrated team. Sevilla had their chances and took them without mistakes, a mind-blowing 4-1 defeat that quashed Barcelona  Undefeated run.

In the standings with Real Madrid on top with a variation of 2 points can not be difficult for Barcelona to outstrip because the Real Madrid on the one hand is not in better shape to tarry with that 2 points by staying undefeated in the upcoming matches.

You're very correct. I think that people are getting carried away by the conventional way of believing that the bigger team will always win. This is one of the biggest problems gamblers face in their tickets. Barcelona's turn just came today same way real Madrid suffered their humiliation against Athletical Madrid some days ago by 5 goals to 2. Teams have some win probabilities of which even a 10 percent probability could win the game.

Celta Vigo almost shocked Athletical Madrid today but they narrowly escaped, thanks to the 6th minute own goal that put Athletical Madrid at the front leaving celta Vigo in their 6th 1-1 draw of the season. This season is full of surprises and fans are excited.

This sporting betting is becoming harder and harder to predict in every new season. The thing is that Sevilla had a bad campaign season last year and in the beginning of this season they lossed their first two matches to Athletic Club and Getafe, then managed to sniff an away win from Girona, and this it has been with inconsistency for them.

And almighty Barcelona were in their undefeated campaign for every match they have surmounted and were looking indomitable to be defeated anytime soon, above all, not Sevilla because all projection were pointing to the el classico for Barcelona to be met with a defeat all things remaining constant.

[ajanwalker]

Atletico Madrid lost two points because of Lenglet, despite the match they should have won.
Lenglet, despite already having a yellow card, foolishly received a second one and a red card in the 42nd minute, leaving Atletico Madrid down to 10 men.
If Atletico Madrid hadn't been down to 10 men, they would have received 3 points.

In the 68th minute, Aspas scored for Celta Vigo, leveling the score at 1-1. After that goal, Celta Vigo attacked for the win but couldn't find the winning goal.

At the final whistle, Diego Simeone angrily went to the locker room.

[Solokan]

Barcelona took the statistical lead and yet we're unable to take the lead in match, if not for Rashford, technically Barcelona would have given Sevilla a clean sheet record, this happens to bee one if the unluckiest day for Barcelona because they actually did played well only that they were not as lucky meanwhile Rashford was awarded the MODM which I believe he was very deserving of it , his efforts were very much visible enough to give him the award.

Barcelona played without several of their top players, particularly their attacking players (main wingers):
- Yamal - absent
- Rapinha - absent

This turned out to be quite an impact, even though Lewandowski and Rashford were still available. Fortunately, Rashford scored the opening goal, only one. However, their weakness this time was in their finishing, if we look at the statistics. And unfortunately, Lewandowski missed a penalty.

Now, Barcelona back to second place, Real Madrid elading at top standing of La Liga

Source: LEAGUE TABLE UPDATE

It is true that statistically Barcelona was superior and should have won based on their statistics, but it is unfortunate that Barcelona was unable to capitalize on their opportunities and their poor finishing ultimately prevented them from scoring, resulting in their defeat by Sevilla. The injuries to Yamal and Raphinha did have a significant impact, as they are key players for Barcelona. If they hadn't been injured, I'm sure Barcelona would have had a better chance of winning. However, it was fortunate that Rashford scored against Sevilla, which was a gift from Rashford to Barcelona's fans.

It is indeed unfortunate that Lewandowski failed to capitalize on the penalty kick, as it was a great opportunity for Barcelona to score. Barcelona must now settle for second place in the standings because they failed to capitalize on their opportunities. Now, I hope the injured Barcelona players can recover quickly because if they don't, it will certainly make it difficult for Barcelona to secure victories, especially when facing strong teams. Real Madrid must be very happy that Barcelona was defeated by Sevilla. Let's see what happens with Barcelona in the upcoming matches.
