Lol the hyperbole. Is Barca not still in the lead? Do they not still control their fate? Come on now.

I've defended Suarez a bit but that finishing is just unforgiveable. Fucking terrible. He needs to cut that out, seriously.
No idea why he subbed Neymar. Iniesta is just absolutely dreadful at defending and Rakitic was clearly tired. Why not sub one of them? The sub was worse than the two mistakes for me.

I've been following Barca for many years and this was possibly the most embarrassing performance ive seen. Neymar having one of the best games of his season in the first half. We started off so well and then Bravo makes a mistake. However, the blame lies on Enrique. HOW NEGATIVE WAS THAT SECOND HALF???? We had no desire to score a third. We lacked imagination and enthusiasm. WE desperately needed an injection of energy - this was the ideal game for Pedro to come on earlier. Iniesta was poor. When have Barca ever been a team so shut up shop and play a defensive final 20 minutes. That second half goes against the morals of the club and I can already tell the players in that team from La Masia will not be happy. It goes against everything that theyve been brought up to be. A negative and really embarrassing choice of tactics and substitues from the manager. Yes Pique made the mistake, but the way we set up meant any mistake would more than likely lead to an attack from Sevilla. We had them rattled in the first half. I am absolutely furious. I hate to say it but it already feels like Madrid have one hand on the title. So saddened and disappointed in Enrique. Gutted.

Damn, La Liga is very complicated now. We still have the away game against Atletico which will be very difficult. I just can't believe we dropped 2 points and now we can't even afford to draw one more game. If we want La Liga, we have to win all remaining games. If we drop 2 point, RM will be ahead of us

don't forget the games against Valencia and Espanyol, which we're going to drop points in if we continue like this

Casualties from this match: A broken TV, a broken TV pilot, a broken glass.
It was crazy, at least for me. I never get phased so much in these games, especially against Barca, since I always prepare myself that Sevilla is going to lose.
However, this was a special time since we are in the form of... maybe a historical form of Sevilla? It was staggering to see my team go down 0-2 at half time, but I can safely say that, that first half performance, until the goal of Banega came, was the most spectacular tiki-taka-ish I have seen from Barca in a couple of seasons now! It was just tremendous. I was embarrassed since that performance made Sevilla look like a bunch of bums in the field.
Anyway, when you have a player like Banega and a coach like Emery, things can change for good. I think that in this match, the crucial part was the tactical mistake from Luis Enrique. Instead of going for the deepening of the goal margin, he took off Neymar (who had the game of career probably today, he was playing like he does for Brazil usually). After Sevilla took the upper hand in the match during the second half, L.Enrique was afraid that his midfield is too loose and featured Xavi to try and control the midfield, which was quite wrong imo, since the offensive power was lost.
Nevertheless, I'm glad it turned out like this. Also remember one thing, Sevilla will not lose at home this season anymore. Stay assured that we will beat the hell out of RM, since in the matches against RM we usually go out for an absolute victory, especially at home.
My bet is that Barca wins La Liga still.
