Barcelona will head into the international break with a perfect record, having won all seven of their matches so far this season. Their latest victory came at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, where Sevilla were beaten 3-1 in front of their home supporters.

Without injured first-choice goalkeeper Joan Garcia, the Catalan side made a relatively cautious start. Lamine Yamal came close to breaking the deadlock in the eighth minute, rattling the post with a long-range effort, but Sevilla soon punished their lack of urgency.

In the 19th minute, Correa delivered a dangerous cross from the left towards the near-post area, where Youssouf Fofana rose highest and powered a header into the top corner to give the hosts a surprise lead.

Barcelona responded almost immediately. Just three minutes later, a perfectly weighted vertical pass split the Andalusian defence. Raphinha sent his marker the wrong way with a clever feint before calmly slotting the ball into the bottom corner to make it 1-1.

The sides went into half-time level, leaving the contest finely balanced. That uncertainty did not last long after the restart, however. In the 52nd minute, Barcelona capitalised on a mistake during the early stages of a Sevilla attack. Lamine Yamal floated a cross into the box, and Raphinha anticipated the delivery perfectly to head the visitors in front.

Raphinha completed his hat-trick in the 69th minute. Lamine Yamal released the Brazilian winger through on goal, and he produced a composed finish, delicately lifting the ball over the goalkeeper to seal a 3-1 victory for Barcelona.
