On Saturday, in the XXVIII round of the Spanish "Liga BBVA" championship, Barcelona's football players defeated Sevilla 0-2 away and avenged their draw in the first half of the season.
The Catalans' victory was determined by goals from Xavi and Lionel Messi - the Spaniard sent the ball into the net with a penalty kick, while the Argentine skillfully deceived the defender and technically beat the goalkeeper.
The Catalonia team reduced their gap from the leading Madrid "Real" team in the championship to seven points, but the latter will play their next round match against "Malaga" tomorrow at 22:30 Lithuania time.
