Raphinha hat-trick as Joao Cancelo adds fifth in Barcelona’s 5-1 lead over Sevilla | OneFootball

Barcelona look set for another La Liga win, leading Sevilla 5-1 at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Football Espana reports a blistering start. A driving run by Joao Cancelo was halted by Djibril Sow, and Raphinha converted the penalty after nine minutes.

Soon after, the Brazilian tucked away a second spot-kick to stretch the advantage. Dani Olmo then turned in Marc Bernal’s cross to make it 3-0.

Oso pulled one back for Sevilla just before half time. Six minutes into the second half, Raphinha’s deflected strike completed his treble and restored the three-goal cushion.

Soon after, Cancelo crowned a lively opening hour by scoring his first since returning to Catalonia in January.

As things stand, Barcelona would move four points clear of Real Madrid in the title race.
