"The victory in the first leg [Sevilla beat Barcelona 4-1 earlier in the campaign] was one of the best moments for me at Sevilla. That home win in front of our fans was incredible. We know it's very, very difficult because they've won every home game, but for us, the first leg gives us the motivation to believe we can get something out of it."
"It's very difficult. For me, Pedri is the best central midfielder in La Liga and in the world. He controls Barcelona's entire game, and it's going to be very important to defend him well, just as we did in the first leg. I think we were almost perfect in midfield that day because we neutralised Pedri, and they weren't able to play their game."
Barcelona hosts Sevilla in a crucial La Liga match at the Spotify Camp Nou, where Barcelona has maintained an impressive home record. Sevilla midfielder Djibril Sow expresses confidence in his team's chances despite Barcelona's dominance at home, citing their earlier 4-1 victory as motivation. Sow identifies Pedri as Barcelona's most critical player to neutralize, describing him as the best central midfielder in La Liga and the world who controls Barcelona's entire game. Sow emphasizes that Sevilla's success in the first leg came from effectively defending against Pedri in midfield, preventing Barcelona from executing their typical playing style. The midfielder also acknowledges the challenge of facing coach Hansi Flick's tactical approach.
