Sun Feb 09 22:43:58 UTC 2025: ## Barcelona Aims for Record-Breaking Win Against Sevilla, Closing in on La Liga Leaders

**Seville, Spain** – FC Barcelona travels to Seville on Sunday for a crucial La Liga clash against Sevilla, aiming to extend their winning streak against their Andalusian rivals to a record-breaking seven consecutive victories. A win would also see them close the gap on league leaders Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, who drew 1-1 in the Madrid derby on Saturday.

Barça enters the match in high spirits following a 5-0 Copa del Rey victory over Valencia and consecutive La Liga wins against Valencia and Alavés. While their recent away form has been inconsistent – four consecutive draws – their record against Sevilla is remarkably dominant. They’ve gone 14 wins and 4 draws in their last 18 meetings against Sevilla, including the last six.

Sevilla, despite their illustrious history, including seven UEFA Cup/Europa League titles this century, are currently struggling mid-table. Their season has been marked by inconsistency, and they are not competing in European competitions this year. Their current four-game unbeaten run is their best of the season, but includes only one win. Adding to Barcelona’s confidence, their manager, García Pimienta, is a former La Masia product and has lost all three of his matches against his former club.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and morale in a pre-match press conference, highlighting their improved form and positive atmosphere within the squad. A win on Sunday would not only extend their dominance over Sevilla but also significantly boost their title aspirations. Kick-off is scheduled for 9 PM CET.
