""The first half was dreadful," Pedri told Barça One after the game. "I don't think we've played as badly as we did today. We have to be honest with ourselves and be self-critical. "There was no intensity or quality with the ball in the first half. We didn't know how to play through their press. We didn't know what to do with the ball. "We have to improve a lot of things. The coach [Hansi Flick] and us, the players, will work hard to improve them after the break so that this doesn't happen again.""
""The first half was not good for us," the Barça coach said in a news conference. "They played one against one against us and they were very aggressive so we had no solution to play out."
Barcelona lost 4-1 to Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, conceding two first-half goals and conceding further late strikes to finish 4-1. Alexis Sánchez scored a penalty and Isaac Romero put Sevilla 2-0 up inside 37 minutes, while Marcus Rashford volleyed a consolation before the break. Robert Lewandowski missed a second-half penalty and substitutes missed further chances, with José Ángel Carmona and Akor Adams scoring late. The team showed little intensity or quality with the ball and struggled to play through Sevilla's aggressive press, dropping to second in LaLiga without Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
