Suarez bicycle kick volley, Barca beat Sevilla

Striker Luis Suarez had a beautiful goal contributing to Barca's 3-0 victory in round 30 of La Liga.

Goals: Luis Suarez 25', Messi 28', 33'

The Uruguayan star scored a masterpiece from a cross by Messi. After the visiting team's defender failed to clear the cross, Suarez immediately performed a bicycle kick to open the scoring for Barca.

After the equalizer, Barca's number 9 striker once again shined when he "set the table" for Messi. The pass also came from the right wing and M10 only needed a light shot to raise the score to 2-0.

The quick two-goal loss may have further demoralized Sevilla. Messi seized the opportunity and sealed the victory for Barca with a volley into the near corner in the 33rd minute. With three goals in just eight minutes, the match between Barca and Sevilla ended in a way that few viewers could have expected.

Compared to last weekend's big win over Granada, the biggest change for Barca is the return of Messi. After more than a week without playing a match, M10 quickly showed his energetic performances. Messi launched a curling shot that hit the crossbar against Sevilla, before passing the ball to Suarez to score and make it two for himself. The owner of five Ballon d'Or awards could even have had a hat-trick if goalkeeper Sergio Rico had not jumped to block a dangerous lob.

Like his teammate wearing the number 10 shirt, Suarez caused a lot of problems for Sevilla. In addition to the opening goal, the Uruguayan striker also had a series of situations that directly threatened Rico's goal until the 65th minute, when he left the field to make way for Alcacer. Among these were a pass to Messi and a situation where he was pulled down by an opposing defender in the penalty area without the referee blowing the whistle.

Sevilla also created many chances but lacked the finishing ability. From the visitors' feet, the ball often found goalkeeper Ter Stegen or went wide of the goal. If N'Zonzi had successfully finished in a face-off with Ter Stegen in the eighth minute, the match result could have been different.

Having won so quickly in the first half, Barca showed signs of relaxing after the break. Coach Luis Enrique soon replaced Luis Suarez, before withdrawing both Pique and Rakitic. These decisions were to conserve energy and avoid injury for the players, while also preparing for the matches against Malaga this weekend and Juventus in the middle of next week.

With the win over Sevilla, Barca has 69 points after 30 matches in La Liga 2016-2017. The defending champion continues to rank second, two points behind Real. The leading team also has the advantage of playing one less match.
