Barcelona boss Luis Enrique: Comeback victory will strengthen LaLiga campaign

That includes a big win over a strong Atletico Madrid side two weeks ago, where the home side dominated majority of the match.

And they had their tails up early on, Vitolo opening the scoring in the 15th minute.

Barcelona’s wonderful run of form came to an unceremonious halt in midweek after they succumbed to a disappointing 3-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in the Champions League.

A mesmeric Lionel Messi helped Barcelona come from behind and beat Sevilla 2-1 as the champions kept the pressure on La Liga leaders Real Madrid.

Despite all of the above, Barca are considered odds-on favourites with Sky Bet, who make Sevilla 19/5 to make it six wins from six at home and really announce themselves as genuine title contenders. Real Madrid would place a bid if UEFA withdraw the two-window ban imposed on the Merengues. “Barca always have to be open to ways of improving the team”, he told a media conference.

Suarez netted the victor after being set up by Lionel Messi and he had nothing but praise for his team-mate, who had previously scored the equaliser.

A 3-1 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League midweek was their most recent failure, and leaves manager Luis Enrique anxious for a reaction from his players this weekend.

Messi’s first-half strike cancelled out Vitolo’s opener for hosts Sevilla on Sunday, before the 29-year-old set up Luis Suárez to score Barça’s winning goal.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen did not enjoy the best of outings against Manchester City on Tuesday night and one can be sure that the German goalkeeper will be tested on Sunday as well.

The recent performance of both team in La Liga is quite descent.

Despite his error at the Etihad, Sergio Roberto will once again line-up at right-back because Barcelona have decided that Aleix Vidal will not start again for the club – extraordinary circumstances apart – and will be sold in the summer.

Luis Enrique is wary of an in-form Sevilla side as his Barcelona team travel to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium on Sunday evening.

He scored his 16th goal of the season and had Enrique waxing lyrical about him post-game.

The Wales worldwide raced onto a through ball from Isco that split the visiting defence and rounded goalkeeper Jon Serantes to tuck the ball inside the near post from a tight angle.

Bale also had two great scoring chances early in the second half, first with a close-range shot and then with a header, both requiring hard saves by Leganes goalkeeper Jon Ander Serantes. “When we found the first goal the game changed”, said Zidane.

Back a 1-1 draw this week at 15/2 with bet365.
