Sevilla vs. Barcelona: Score and Reaction from 2016 La Liga Match

Barcelona beat Sevilla 2-1 on Sunday in a highly entertaining and close 2016-17 La Liga contest.

Sevilla were the better team in the first half and took an early lead through Vitolo, but Lionel Messi tied things up shortly before half-time. The Catalans improved after the break and took the advantage through Luis Suarez, holding on to the lead until the final whistle.
