Barcelona arrive at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán with a perfect record: six wins from six in La Liga, 28 goals scored and only six conceded. Their midweek dismantling of Racing Santander (7-2), highlighted by a Raphinha hat-trick, underlined a squad operating at peak efficiency. Redeployed as a false nine by Hansi Flick, the Brazilian, alongside Lamine Yamal, spearheads an attack averaging nearly five goals per game.
Yet the real story lies beneath the surface. Sevilla, 13th last season and just one point above relegation, now sit fourth with 13 points under Luis García Plaza. Their four victories, often by a single goal – against Valencia and at Deportivo La Coruña (0-1) – reveal a team rebuilt on grit rather than glamour. Their only defeat came at home to Atlético Madrid (1-3).

Sevilla’s revival: a closer look
A 13th-place finish last term, with relegation a constant threat, forced a rethink at Sevilla. Under Luis García Plaza, the Andalusians have already matched four wins in six games, often grinding out narrow results. The 1-0 victories over Valencia and Deportivo La Coruña exemplify their efficiency, while the standout performance remains a 3-1 win at San Mamés against Athletic Bilbao. Only Atlético Madrid have left the Sánchez-Pizjuán with three points (1-3). With 13 points and goals in every match, Sevilla’s collective spirit is undeniable.
This turnaround stems from a proactive transfer window. Youssouf Fofana, formerly of Milan, adds midfield experience, joined by Jon Guridi and Giorgi Kochorashvili. At right-back, Juan Iglesias has settled quickly, even scoring the winner against Valencia. Up front, ex-Saint-Étienne man Lucas Stassin and Félix Correia (on loan from Lille) bring pace and depth. The squad has lost several familiar faces: César Azpilicueta retired, while goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, Nemanja Gudelj, Juanlu, and Akor Adams departed, as did Neal Maupay (returned to Marseille). Rubén Vargas remains the only notable absentee for the visit of Barça.
Sevilla probable XI
Odysseas Vlachodimos – Juan Iglesias, Andrés Castrín, Kike Salas, Gabriel Suazo – Miguel Sierra, Lucien Agoumé, Youssouf Fofana, Félix Correia – Lucas Stassin, Isaac Romero.
Coach: Luis García Plaza
Barcelona’s winning machine: built to dominate
Nothing seems capable of slowing Barça. The defending champions have won all six league games, never looking troubled. Blowout wins – from Elche to Mestalla (0-5 each) – culminated in Wednesday’s 7-2 thrashing of Racing Santander. The only blemish was a 4-2 win at Levante, marred by two late defensive lapses. With 28 goals, Hansi Flick commands Spain’s most potent attack, even without a traditional centre-forward. Raphinha, deployed as a striker, embodies this: his hat-trick against Racing took him to nine goals, ahead of Lamine Yamal (seven).
The summer was far from quiet in Catalonia. With Robert Lewandowski gone to MLS, Deco spent over €170 million. Anthony Gordon hit the ground running on the left, providing four assists, while Karim Adeyemi and Gabriel Jesus add further firepower. The arrival of Rodri, 2024 Ballon d’Or winner, transforms the midfield, and João Cancelo, now permanent, also scored on Wednesday. Several familiar names left: Ferran Torres, Ronald Araújo, Marc-André ter Stegen, and Marcus Rashford (returned to Manchester United after his loan). At the Sánchez-Pizjuán, Flick will again be without the injured Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji.
Barcelona probable XI
Joan García – Eric García, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Xavi Espart – Rodri, Pedri – Lamine Yamal, Fermín López, Anthony Gordon – Raphinha.
Coach: Hansi Flick
How to watch Sevilla vs Barcelona on TV and online

Head-to-head: a historically one-sided rivalry
With 204 meetings, this is one of Spanish football’s classic fixtures, and Barça have largely dominated. The Catalans have won 119, Sevilla 46, with 39 draws. The goal difference is equally stark: 430 for Barcelona, 250 for Sevilla.
Catalan dominance has only grown in recent years: in La Liga, Barça have won eight of the last ten meetings. Yet one exception lingers in memory. In October 2025, the Sánchez-Pizjuán witnessed Sevilla demolish the Blaugranas 4-1 – their first league win over them in a decade. Barça exacted revenge at the Camp Nou last March (5-2). Goals are never in short supply between these sides: the last five La Liga encounters produced 26, with both teams scoring in each.
