Sevilla 2-2 Barcelona: 5 Talking Points

Ente
The world at his feet...

#2 Sevilla will need a calculator to add up the number of chances they missed

Sevilla
Sevilla will live to rue the chances they missed on the break...

You wouldn't believe us if we told you that Sevilla could've had 6, 7 or 8 goals on the night. You wouldn't believe the number of chances they missed even if you saw the whole game!

How Vincenzo Montella's side did not come away with all three points, besides the brilliance of Messi or even the number of chances they missed, is something we fail to comprehend.

Sevilla kept hitting Barcelona on the break every chance they got and, like we've already said, there were truckloads of them. Muriel and Vazquez could've had a hat-trick each and Navas could've had a brace. Some errant finishing and good goal-keeping kept it at two for Barcelona.

They should have made the most of the opportunity, sorry, multiple opportunities to put the game to bed but didn't, which is why they can't claim to be the team to have stopped Barcelona in their tracks in a season when no one has even come close.

After the humiliation they handed to United at Old Trafford, they have only themselves to blame for not doing the same to Barcelona.
