FC Barcelona - Sevilla FC live updates

Sevilla at least look more competitive than they did at the weekend. They are in this game, while Lopetegui and his players really struggled against Barcelona on Saturday.

The first yellow card of the night is shown to Fernando for a foul on Busquets.

Cleared off the line! Inches away from being a second Barcelona goal! Messi dribbled his way through the Sevilla defence with the ball spinning towards goal, but Acuna makes the clearance!

Sliced high and wide! Barcelona work a good shooting opportunity on the edge of the Sevilla penalty area, but Pedri couldn't hit the target and slices high and wide! Bit of a waste!

PICTURE: Dembele is on fire!

Ball into the middle! Messi plays a one-two with Alba, the Spanish left back cuts back a pass into the six yard box, but Acuna makes the clearance before it could reach de Jong!

Dest has started well here. He's up and down the right side relentlessly. The American is providing Barcelona with some much-needed width to stretch the pitch and create space.

There were fears that Pedri would be sidelined for a number of weeks after he appeared to pick up an injury during the weekend win over Sevilla, but the teenager was back in training quickly and has started tonight!

De Jong has been in excellent form for Barcelona recently. The Dutch midfielder has been deployed in a more advanced position and that has resulted in more goals and assists.

Sevilla have actually responded well to going behind, but Barcelona now have the bit between their teeth. They believe they can overturn this deficit to make the Copa final.

Lopetegui will want a reaction after that defeat. Sevilla were far from their usual selves. They barely lay a glove on Barcelona with Lopetegui making no fewer than five subs before the 60-minute mark! It hasn't been a good start here!

The 2-0 win over Sevilla on Saturday was one of Barcelona’s best performances of the season so far. They were controlled and measured in their display and were by far the better team.

PICTURE: Dembele opened the scoring in style!

Another Sevilla shot blocked! Jordan has an opportunity to get a shot away from the edge of the Barcelona box, but Alba makes the important block and the away side have the corner.

Vidal tests ter Stegen! The former Barcelona player shifts the ball on to his left foot and gets the effort away from outside the box, but that was never really going to beat the German!

While the Copa del Rey looked like being Barcelona’s best chance of silverware for much of the season, the Catalans have somehow managed to pull themselves back into title contention at the top of La Liga.
