Barcelona moved to a comfy 8-point lead over Real Madrid on the LaLiga table after thrashing Sevilla on Sunday.

Sevilla manager Jorge Sampaoli on the result: "We held Barca off in the first half but in the second half we needed more. Raphinha completed the scoring himself after good work from [Frenkie de Jong](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/219022/Frenkie-de-Jong) and Alba. [Sergio Busquets](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/121893/Sergio-Busquets) earlier in the game. With [Manchester United](/football/team?id=360) in the Europa League around the corner -- and [Ousmane Dembele](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/229744/Ousmane-Dembélé) already injured -- they could do without losing any more players. Xavi on Barcelona leading Real Madrid by eight points on the table: "It's not definitive, not at all, but we are in a privileged position. [Sevilla](/football/team?id=243) could not stop him for a short period of the game. After a first half in which they failed to break down a [Sevilla](/football/team?id=243) side that sat deep, [Barcelona](/football/team?id=83) opened the floodgates after the break. [Jordi Alba](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/121021/Jordi-Alba) opened the scoring just before the hour mark after good work from [Franck Kessie](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/194711/Franck-Kessié). Sevilla, who started the campaign in the Champions League, looked like what they are: a team just two points clear of the bottom three. He displayed nice footwork throughout the game, helped in defence and attack and produced a Ronaldinho-esque pass to set up Alba's goal. Both impressed against [Sevilla](/football/team?id=243), though, with performances would could signal a turning point in their Barca careers. [Raphinha](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231050/Raphinha) created the second for [Gavi](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/323702/Gavi) and then added the third himself from Alba's cross to complete the scoring and extend Barca's winning streak in all competitions to seven games, their longest since the 2019-20 season.

Barcelona have provided an update on condition of their captain Sergio Busquets who picked up an injury in their La Liga clash against Sevilla.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Busquets' injury comes as a huge blow for the Catalan giants who are due to face Manchester United in the first leg of their Europa League knockout tie on February 15. [club statement](https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/football/first-team/news/3052021/sergio-busquets-has-sprained-ankle) read: "Tests on Monday morning have revealed that first team captain Sergio Busquets has sprained the external lateral ligament of his left ankle. The club have now released a statement where they revealed that the Spaniard sprained the external lateral ligament of his left ankle.

Barcelona sit on top of the La Liga table with 53 points after 20 games this season.

For the second, Coman received a cross from the right and first time volleyed it with precision in the same right corner. While Wolfsburg scored one through Jakub Kaminski, Bayern essentially the tie with a sensational Jamal Musiala solo goal where he motored past half a dozen defenders before applying a finish. It was a goalfest as Bayern Munich returned with a 4-2 win in their visit to Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga.

Xavi refused to get too excited after the game and insisted Madrid are more than capable of coming back. “This team has the capacity to win every title we're ...

He has done it twice in his last 17 games in the competition, as many times as in his previous 360 league games for his current side and Valencia. Enjoy the calm before the rollercoaster returns. The left-back opened the scoring with his first goal of the season and then teed up Raphinha for Barcelona’s third of the night. Barca often struggle against low blocks at home, and they did against Sevilla, but they kept on going and got their reward. There have been 10 games played and 10 straight wins. Raphinha’s work rate hasn’t been in doubt but he’s now adding the goals and assists that Barca were expecting when they signed him. We’re talking about him because he’s scored in two games running and it seems he’s standing out more, but he has been doing it all season.” The former Leeds United man played an exquisite ball through to Gavi to make it 2-0 before adding Barcelona’s third of the night. It was another game and another goal from Raphinha who is clearly growing in confidence after a tough start to his Barcelona career. Barca will be hoping that Kessie can kick on from this game and show why the club were so keen to bring him in from Milan. The euphoria is nice, but we have to be cautious.” But we can’t only say it, we have to show it.

I’m very happy and satisfied,” coach Xavi Hernandez told DAZN. Barcelona has never lost a LaLiga title race when leading by eight points or more. Barcelona looked sharper after the break, however, and opened the scoring when substitute Franck Kessie showed great vision to put the ball on a plate for Alba ghosting in behind Sevilla’s defence, with the fullback slotting in from close range in the 58th minute.

Busquets has featured in all but two of Barca's 20 league games so far this season, as well nine games in other competitions.
