Lionel Messi ends his mini-scoring drought as Barcelona finds its winning stride against Sevilla in the Spanish league
Barcelona's Argentine forward Lionel Messi runs with the ball during the Spanish league football match between FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona on October 6, 2019. Messi curled a left-footed free kick over the wall and into the net for his first goal of the season to wrap up Barcelona's 4-0 win over Sevilla in the Spanish league on Sunday.
"We know how important Leo is for this team and what he means to us," Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal said. "If he is playing well it helps us a lot." After a stuttering start to the season while Messi was out injured, Barcelona's fourth straight victory in all competitions lifted it into second place and two points behind leader Real Madrid. Barcelona will host Madrid on October 26.
The last time Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui came to Camp Nou, his Real Madrid team had been routed 5-1. He was fired a day later.
