Barcelona have secured an early lead in their La Liga clash away at Sevilla.
La Blaugrana cannot be moved from second spot in the table in their final league game of the 2023/24 season.
However, there are mixed emotions for the visitors in Andalucia, as Xavi Hernandez prepares to step down as La Blaugrana boss.
The former Spanish international has been removed from his position and will leave the club immediately after tonight’s game.
However, despite the sense of a lack of competitiveness at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, they are on course to sign off the campaign with a win.
Robert Lewandowski will not catch Artem Dovbyk in the La Liga Golden Boot race but he acrobatically steered home his 19th league goal of the campaign to edge Barcelona ahead.

With Dovbyk on 24 goals, on the back of a fine campaign at Girona, a second half goal would maintain Lewandowski’s record of hitting 20+ league goals in nine successive seasons.
