00:01Well, for some games there's just the feel of extra excitement in the air, and this is undoubtedly one of
00:07those games.
00:08It's a hugely significant clash, but which way is it going to go?
00:15Stay tuned for every thrilling moment, live on EA TV.
00:22Thanks for joining us in beautiful Catalonia today.
00:25I'm Guy Mowbray, your commentator, with the professional's view provided by Stuart Robson.
00:30And we've got La Liga EA Sports action coming right up.
00:34It's Barcelona, and they take on Sevilla.
00:37Well, the atmosphere is building nicely here, and we've got two teams who like to play good football.
00:42Let's hope we get a good game here. It should be.
00:44This one for the rip.
00:45And the tw rocking.
00:49And the cavalier's victory.
00:53And the f Santa on deck.
00:56The twas.
00:58The twas.
01:05I Line.
01:06And the...
01:35And we're off, let's see what this one has in store.
01:41This is the Barcelona team sheet.
01:44Frenkie de Jong plays alongside Pedri in central midfield.
01:47And they go with just one in attack.
01:53And they've been given a free kick for that.
02:01It's a foul, but no caution.
02:03Yeah, I think he's got that absolutely right.
02:05You don't want to be throwing cards about left, right and centre.
02:33Barcelona with the ball again.
02:40All a bit chaotic, this.
02:43Yeah, neither side playing with fluency at the moment.
02:46This could be dangerous.
02:50That's a throw-in.
02:51They have to win the ball all over again.
03:00And the flag's up, offside the call.
03:21A really good interception to take the ball.
03:28Lovely set-up.
03:29And that's where it ends.
03:31To take the lead.
03:32And that's a decent save.
03:34At least certainly made to look that way.
03:55going for a blast on goal there.
03:58But power wasn't the answer.
04:00It's missed by a distance.
04:13and the shot caught him
04:14that really was a good bit of defending there
04:20well he's a player that many have been talking about
04:23will we be talking about him for the right reasons today though
04:26well I love watching him play
04:28he's so creative
04:29particularly in the top third of the pitch
04:31let's hope he performs well here
04:37they won't be going any further after that
05:00and that's nicely won to see off the threat
05:08oh it's a belter of a ball
05:11and it's not far away
05:13it deserved a goal
05:14well he'd be frustrated with that finish
05:17that was a big opportunity there
05:26torres
05:30now this has to be
05:32well trying his luck from a long way out
05:35but the keeper could see it all the way
05:51Agüme
05:52would work from Barca to win back possession
06:05to take the lead
06:07gets it away
06:08an impeccable tackle
06:09he really did do well there
06:18so
06:23possession
06:23change his hands
06:26maybe that's a misconnection with the ball
06:28it's well well wide
06:30and
06:47Raffina
06:50untidy in possession there
06:59it's a confident push forward
07:04and delivered into the middle
07:07and he got his head to it
07:08he's missed horribly
07:09poor effort
07:18all taken away from them
07:26well over the last 15 minutes
07:28Sevilla have really started to take control
07:30they're creating plenty of chances
07:31and looking at constant threat
07:33you feel they have to take the lead
07:34at some point with this sort of domination
07:37oh really nicely taken
07:39made absolutely sure that that was keeper's ball
07:49has the space to whip it in here
07:58oh good defending
08:00just when it was looking threatening
08:01well they've defended that really well
08:04they look very organised there
08:10having a look
08:11and it's not far away
08:13it deserved a goal
08:14a little bit unlucky there
08:15because it's a really good volley
08:29played in with that
08:37breaking at pace
08:38this could be dangerous
08:41he's in here
08:46here we go
08:47and it's there
08:48they have a goal
08:49and they have the lead
08:58well here it is again
09:00and it's all about the pace
09:01on the counter-attack
09:02they were so quick to break out
09:03from their defensive positions
09:04and once he gets onto it
09:06then just smashes it past the keeper
09:07who breaks that lead
09:08what an emphatic finish that is
09:20off we go
09:21at 1-0
09:24Luciana Goume
09:43now can he get the crossing
09:49opportunity here
09:50oh what a miss
09:52that's hard to believe
09:53yeah that was a really good opportunity
10:08Agoume
10:09on he goes
10:11terrific
10:12decent looking cross played in
10:14and back across goal
10:19oh look at this
10:20away they go on the counter
10:24just needs the composure now
10:28and there's his second of the match
10:30leading the way for the team
10:43well here's the replay
10:44and just look how quickly they break the ball
10:46once they win the pullback
10:47and his movement's so clever
10:49once he gets onto it
10:50there's only one foot in his head
10:51smash it as hard as possible
10:53what a good goal
10:58the referee's whistle brings the first 45 minutes to a close
11:16the play is set
11:17the whistle sounds
11:18and the second half begins
11:29Agoume
11:33really nicely played
11:34what can they do with this now
11:36and that's a really confident claim by the keeper
11:45and that will be Sevilla's throw
11:55Luciana Agoume
11:56and the game will stop
11:59offside
12:23now they've got possession
12:25what can they do from here
12:29Agoume
12:31that's a good ball
12:36that would play for a Sevilla throw
12:40substitution coming up
12:46oh could be a chance here
12:48or a fourth cross in the end
12:50unable to beat the first man
12:51there it is
12:52a lifeline in this game
12:54and surely momentum is with them now
12:56incredible
13:01well here it is again
13:03the cross is inch perfect
13:04just begging somebody to run onto it
13:06and then just look at the finish
13:07he reads the plight perfectly
13:09and absolutely smashes it beyond the goalkeeper
13:11there's just no stopping that
13:16promising forward burst
13:18and the promise of something happening is over
13:36and the keeper's done really well to keep that out
13:41all one well read
13:43well he's done so well to read the pass
13:45clever bit of play
13:59positive play on the front foot
14:03that has stopped any potential danger
14:14played in with that
14:21and trying his luck
14:23that's not a bad save at all
14:27making a change here
14:31on a kick played in
14:33unable to find anyone with that
14:38teeing up the chance now
14:44can someone attack this
14:46cleared but not far enough
14:48well I'm not sure the keeper
14:50particularly wanted that
14:51but danger averted for now
15:08Alexis Sanchez
15:13well surely
15:15and it's comfortably dealt with by the goalkeeper
15:26I think a try
15:28and no scraps for the attackers to beat off
15:31hung on to the ball well
15:37Torres
15:41what a chance here
15:45and they scored again
15:46that puts them further in front
15:48what a position to be in
15:50and here it is again
15:57and they've taken their goal well
15:59but the defending was non-existent
16:01that should never happen
16:16so it's 3-1 now
