Sevilla and Barcelona are drawing this Saturday on matchday 7 of the League. After a start of Barça dominance, where Valchodimos and the post prevented Barça's first goal, the Andalusians knew how to hold on and then take the lead on the scoreboard. A good play on the left wing ended with a cross from Correia to the near post that Fofana finished off. However, the Barça team reacted and after three minutes Raphinha invented an individual play to later beat Vlachodimos with a cross shot. Hansi Flick's men are looking to extend their winning streak in an extraordinary start to the season: six consecutive victories and one in the Champions League. Furthermore, they have started with victories in almost all of their games. The Barça team is a steamroller that has scored 28 goals in just six league games. Although they have Sevilla in front of them, a rival that, despite spending several years really badly, has resurfaced at the start of the season. Luis García Plaza's men are fifth with four wins, one draw and one loss.
