To tell the truth, I was waiting for Sevilla to become victorious in this game. But Barcelona interestingly overwhelmed the game in the first and second half both. And after Sevilla got a red card in the 64th minute, things started being much harder for them. They should be thankful for being able to manage to maintain a 1-1 score until the end. I haven't seen Barcelona this willing to win for a while. It is a good sign about them.
Barcelona might have missed the chance to move into top 4, but there are many positivities in yesterday’s result especially the performances of Dembele and the team as a whole. They were just keeping a high possession in the game and I wonder why Xavi himself doesn't have a winning mentality anymore, Sevilla are defending on one man down, crossing are not happening, I was expecting him to bring on others who can shoot better outside the box like Coutinho. Even at that result I love the way barca played just that they lack the finishing touch in the final third , this is a very young side with time they will improve. I think Barcelona team is beginning to be shape up for better, at least we can see the style of play and much more direct football. They will get better with a good striker in the new year.
