Sevilla lost 1-3 to Barcelona in the seventh matchday of the 2026-27 La Liga season at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, a result that leaves the team fifth in the table with 13 points. Youssouf Fofana put the hosts ahead, but a Raphinha hat-trick, assisted twice by Lamine Yamal, turned the game around.
Goalkeeper Odysseas Milagroso was one of Sevilla's standout performers, making several key saves that prevented a heavier defeat. "He demonstrated his level again, with saves that avoided a harsher scoreline for Sevilla," said Xavier Muñoz of his performance. Fofana, meanwhile, headed home at the near post from a Félix cross. "He burst to the near post to get his head on it and make it 1-0. He played with faith and accuracy," Muñoz added.
Manager Luis García Plaza saw his team, who had won their previous match in La Coruña, fail to hold onto their early lead. In defence, Sangante struggled against Lamine Yamal, while Iglesias adapted by moving from full-back to centre-back. In attack, the runs of Miguel Sierra created danger and energised the crowd. The team now faces a trip to 16th-placed Levante on October 12th, looking to get back to winning ways.
