"From the very first whistle, Sevilla played with a scary level of intensity and belief, snapping into tackles and springing forward with purpose. The early warning signs for Barcelona came as early as the third minute, when Alexis Sanchez forced Wojciech Szczesny into a save. Moments later, the hosts' pressure paid off. After a VAR check confirmed a foul by Ronald Araujo on Isaac Romero, Sanchez stepped up and coolly dispatched his penalty into the bottom corner."
"The visitors looked rattled and disjointed - until a flash of brilliance before the interval. Deep into stoppage time, Marcus Rashford latched onto a laser-guided Pedri pass and volleyed home to cut the deficit. Despite the Englishman's goal arriving well beyond the allotted time, it reignited hope for Barcelona as they went into the break trailing 2-1. Hansi Flick reacted by reshuffling his side at half-time, introducing Eric Garcia and Alejandro Balde to steady the defence. But Sevilla refused to retreat."

Hansi Flick made defensive changes at the interval, but Sevilla continued to press, create chances and unsettle Barcelona throughout the second half.
