Lewandowski 10, Yamal 9 | Barcelona 5-1 Sevilla: Player ratings

Barcelona took on Sevilla in their first game after the international break on Sunday night as they looked to restore their three-point lead on the league standings.

Given Los Nervionenses’ poor run of form this season, the Blaugrana were the favourites to take away three points and did not disappoint at Montjuic.

The visitors put pressure on Barcelona in the opening period but a Robert Lewandowski penalty gave the hosts the lead on the night. 

A stunning strike from Pedri helped the team double their lead before Lewandowski smartly deflected the ball into the net for the team’s third before the halftime whistle.

The game after the restart continued in the same manner as it left off with only the offside flag denying Barcelona a fourth. Eventually, Pablo Torre scored the team’s fourth and put the result to bed and even added a fifth.

Inaki Pena: 7

A relatively quiet night for the Spanish goalkeeper who barely had any saves to make through the game. Was solid with his distribution, albeit relatively shaky when venturing out of his box.

Alejandro Balde: 7.5

One of the left-back’s better performances this season in terms of attacking contributions as he regularly forward and was decent with his dribbles and crosses. Completed 91% of his passes and completed two dribbles against Sevilla.

Inigo Martinez: 8.5

The leader at the back, Martinez was ever-reliable in defence as he confidently pulled off interceptions and tackles for fun to keep Sevilla at bay. Recorded eight defensive actions, completed 92% of his passes and north of 100 passes against Garcia Pimienta’s side.

Pau Cubarsi: 8

Partnering with Martinez at the back, Cubarsi was ever so calm under pressure and kept his cool even when pushed to the boundary by the Sevilla attack. Recorded a stunning 98% pass accuracy and even started the move that led to Pedri’s goal with an unbelievable save from the line.

Jules Kounde: 8

Starting as the right…
