Sevilla FC and FC Barcelona played out an unforgettable 2-2 in their Liga BBVA matchday 31 meeting. Lionel Messi and Neymar put the Catalans ahead but goals by Éver Banega and Kevin Gameiro ensured that the points were split.
The Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán was treated to an incredible first half of football. Despite the fact that Sevilla were spurred on by their supporters, it was los azulgranas who took the early lead. Two masterful pieces of play from Lionel Messi and Neymar were all Barcelona needed to be 0-2 in front by the thirty-minute mark. Now trailing on the scoreboard, Sevilla were able to narrow the gap thanks to a great right-footed strike from Banega that thundered past Claudio Bravo.
The home side were at their best after the break, showing plenty of heart, grit and determination. Unai Emery brought on José Antonio Reyes and Kevin Gameiro for Vicente Iborra and Carlos Bacca and his changes paid off. The Utrera native started a move that the Frenchman finished off with just six minutes to go to earn a valuable draw for the Andalusian outfit.
