Sevilla vs Barcelona

Barcelona came from behind to thump Sevilla 3-1 at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, with Raphinha stealing the show yet again with a hat-trick. The result stretched the Catalans' unbeaten start to the season and underlined just how ruthless they've become in front of goal. Sevilla made the perfect start when Youssouf Fofana nodded the hosts ahead in the 19th minute, sparking wild scenes among the home crowd. It didn't last long, though, as Raphinha leveled things up just three minutes later before adding a second early in the third quarter and completing his treble late on. It was his second straight hat-trick after also bagging three against Racing Santander days earlier. The win keeps Barcelona perfect through their opening run of fixtures and firmly atop the table under Hansi Flick, with their attack looking close to unstoppable. For Sevilla, it's a sobering reminder of the gap at the top, despite a promising opening burst that briefly had them believing.
