Barcelona secured a crucial 3-0 victory against Sevilla in the La Liga match on Sunday, with Lionel Messi scoring twice and Luka Modric providing two assists.
Messi opened the scoring for Barcelona with a stunning header from a corner kick in the 24th minute. The Argentine forward capitalized on Sevilla goalkeeper Jan Oblak's poor positioning to head the ball into the net.
Sevilla responded in the 51st minute when Youssef Ben Yedder scored a penalty after being fouled inside the box. However, Barcelona quickly扳平比分 in the 66th minute when Messi played a one-two pass with Luka Modric before latching onto a loose ball and shooting past Oblak.
Modric then doubled Barcelona's lead in the 87th minute when he played a perfect through-ball to Messi, who converted the resulting goal with a left-footed volley.
The victory was a significant boost for Barcelona, who had been struggling with injuries to key players like Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets earlier in the season. The win also gave them a comfortable lead over Sevilla in the league standings.
With this result, Barcelona move up to third place in the table, while Sevilla remain in fifth place. The next game for both teams is at home against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
