The Match

FC Barcelona-Sevilla FC, corresponding to the twentieth La Liga matchday of the second half of the season, which will be played at Camp Nou this Sunday at 21:00.

The Standings

FC Barcelona host the Nervión side as leaders of the league table, with 50 points, five ahead of second-placed Real Madrid. Sevilla after their two consecutive wins, are on 21 points, and pending the games of all the teams in the same area of the table, it is certain that even with a possible defeat at the Camp Nou, they will remain two points above the relegation zone after Cádiz CF's loss to Athletic Club.

Key Players

Considering the Catalan side's large squad, it is worth highlighting the centre-back Araújo in defence, Pedri and Gavi, Spanish internationals in midfield, and Poland's Robert Lewandowski as Xavi Hernández's attacking threat.

Previous Meetings

Sevilla FC have lost two and drawn one of their last three visits to the Camp Nou. They lost 4-0 in 19/20 and 1-0 last season, and a 1-1 draw in 20/21, where they took the lead with a goal from De Jong.

The Squad

Jorge Sampaoli has called up 21 players, with the notable absences of Jesús Navas and Papu Gómez, and the new additions of Bryan Gil, Pape Gueye, Lamela and Dmitrovic.

Referees

The match will be refereed by José María Sánchez Martínez, assisted by José Luis González González from the VAR.
