Barcelona’s troubles in La Liga grew worse on Sunday evening after suffering a shocking 4–1 defeat to Sevilla. The heavy loss has left fans and football critics questioning the team’s form, tactics, and confidence as the season continues.
The match, played at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium, saw Sevilla dominate from the first whistle. Barcelona looked disorganized in defense and struggled to keep up with Sevilla’s fast-paced attack. It was one of the team’s poorest performances in recent memory and marked their biggest loss of the season so far.
Sevilla opened the scoring early in the first half through Youssef En-Nesyri, who took advantage of poor marking to head home from close range. Barcelona tried to respond but were soon punished again when Lucas Ocampos doubled the lead with a powerful strike. Despite a few chances created by Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, the Catalans failed to find rhythm or stability.
In the second half, things went from bad to worse. Sevilla added two more goals, with Dodi Lukébakio and Suso finding the net as Barcelona’s defense completely fell apart. João Félix scored a late consolation goal for Barcelona, but it was too little, too late.
After the match, Barcelona’s coach expressed disappointment with the team’s performance, admitting that the players lacked focus and discipline. “We made too many mistakes at the back,” he said. “Sevilla deserved their win. We must learn from this and improve quickly.”
Fans flooded social media with mixed reactions, some calling for tactical changes, while others urged patience. The result leaves Barcelona slipping further behind in the league standings, increasing the pressure ahead of their next matches.
With growing criticism and uncertainty surrounding the team’s form, Barcelona will need to find solutions fast if they hope to recover from this humiliating defeat and get their season back on track.
