E188: Sevilla dispatched as Barcelona warm up for Champions League return

Send us a text

Goals from Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Eric Garcia helped Barcelona beat Sevilla 3-0 at the Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday. Xavi Hernandez's side now have 10 points from 12 in LaLiga this season.

Sam, Rik and Toni look back on a game that saw Sevilla start well before Barça took control after taking the lead. There was an impressive performance from the terrier-like Gavi and more heroics from the back-in-form Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

They also look ahead to the return of the Champions League at Camp Nou on Wednesday, with Viktoria Plzen visiting.

Meanwhile, coming up on Patreon this week there will be the Q&A and the post-Plzen show.

Running order:

-- Sevilla's strong start a warning
