The eighth round of La Liga witnessed a surprising and shocking result for most La Liga fans and Barcelona fans in general as well, when the Catalan team suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium in Seville.

The Catalan team needed a win to maintain their lead after Real Madrid's victory over Villarreal at the Bernabéu, but the crushing 4-0 defeat came at a shocking and surprising time, given the significant absences the team has suffered, such as those of Rafinha and Lamine Jamal.

We really needed a home win, so I'm happy. We hadn't beaten Barcelona at this stadium for 10 years, and we've ended a lot of negative streaks. We prepared really well for this match, and everything went perfectly. Against Barcelona, you have to play the perfect game – and that's exactly what happened, just as we planned
