Sevilla vs Barcelona
In the last match of this season, Barcelona faced Sevilla today. Barcelona should not lose the second place in the table even if they lose this match. On the other hand, even if Sevilla win, they will not benefit much. This match is not important for any team.
However, Barcelona will certainly want to please the fans. Barcelona team will try their best to win. Moreover, Barcelona's past record against Sevilla is very good. Barcelona team has managed to defeat Sevilla team in the last four matches. Barcelona will want to win today's match as usual. Even though it's Sevilla's home match, I consider Barcelona as the favourite. Because Sevilla team is not in good form this season. The team has lost in the last three matches.
I bet Barcelona to win today. Hopefully Barcelona will not lose in the last match of the season. And today the Barcelona players are performing very carefully. Barcelona team has already managed to take a 1-0 goal lead.
You are lucky that Barcelona later won the match because as at half time they were playing one all, that made me think they will end the match in a draw since Barcelona was away. Sevilla have not been doing so well this season, they even lost their last 4 matches and ended the season with just seven points away from the relegated team. Maybe this was how you knew that Barcelona would win the match and you were right after all.
Robert Lewandowski's goal took the lead in just 15 minutes of the match. At the end of 25 minutes, Barcelona managed to have 57% of the ball possession. and made a total of two shots. On the other hand, Sevilla's players also made two shots. No team is playing with too much attacking strategy. Sevilla will probably try to draw the match today. On the other hand, Barcelona aims to win the match.
It was nice seeing Robert Lewandowski scoring tonight and even better he opened the scoring. In terms of playing, Barcelona performed poorly below what I expected from them because a club that was rendered handicapped this season by Real Madrid out to be more serious so they can put up a better performance next season. I was expecting anything around 70% ball possession, like the Barcelona of Pep Guardiola whose philosophy is to deny the opponent the ball.
