Spanish Primera Liga - Sevilla vs Barcelona Match Highlights

While my editorial team works on the match highlights for this match of the week in the Spanish Primera Liga between Sevilla and Barcelona, I just want to report on how the game went first. After a result which could mean the end of Barcelona's title challenge, Barcelona was unlucky not to have snatched maximum points at the end of the game. Despite going a goal behind in the first half when Sevilla's impressive Capel scored from a narrow angle, Barcelona managed to equalise through Xabi off a defence splitting pass from Messi. Soon after, Keita was sent off by the referee and Sevilla struggled to hold off Barcelona's marauding forwards, although they could have snatched it themselves at the death off a fine run from Capel. Unfortunately the shot went narrowly wide. All in all, despite getting a deserved draw, it was not enough for Barcelona to close too much of the gap between them and Real Madrid and it could see Real Madrid pulling further away after their game on Sunday.
