Barcelona secured a strong 5-2 victory over Sevilla, extending their lead at the top of La Liga to four points over Real Madrid. While the score was comfortable, head coach Hansi Flick admitted the team could have performed better, particularly in the first half.

Flick singled out Joao Cancelo’s performance, highlighting the Portuguese player’s technical quality and impact. Cancelo scored his first goal since returning to the club and played a decisive role in the victory. Having recently returned from a lengthy absence, his integration into the squad seems to be progressing well.

The coach also praised the return of Gavi, who made his first appearance in over six months, marking an encouraging step for the young midfielder and the team’s morale.

Despite some areas for improvement, the contributions from new players like Cancelo underline Barcelona’s effective strategy this season, reinforcing their position in the title race and raising hopes for continued success.
