FC Barcelona are now eight points clear at the top of Laliga standings following their 3-0 win over Sevilla on Sunday night.
The rise on top of the log came hours after Real Madrid had shockingly lost to Mallorca and the pressure was there for all to see for Xvi men as they were unable to break their opponents in the first half.

Half-time team talks seemed to have worked as Barca scored quick goals in the second half with Jordi Alba, Gavi, and Raphinha being the goalscorers of the match.
Alba burst into the box to fire home his first goal of the season before teenage star Gavi gambled on Raphinha’s superb cross to poke home a second.

Raphinha’s fine performance was then rewarded with a goal in the dying minutes as he stepped inside to sweep home Alba’s pass.
Victory at Camp Nou extends Barcelona’s winning run to 14 games across all competitions, ahead of traveling to Villarreal next weekend, with struggling Sevilla at home to Mallorca.
