FC Barcelona won the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup this past Sunday night against Sevilla after Luis Suarez gave Barça the lead and Munir El Haddadi rounded off the score to give Barça a 2-0 cushion heading into the second leg. It was Barcelona’s first competitive game of the season and even though the majority of the senior players had an extended holiday, Luis Enrique still opted to start eight of the Barcelona Gala XI.
The game had a fast start, with both teams having a substantial amount of possession and Sevilla applying a lot of pressure on the Barcelona players.
