That would have been a great goal. Barca's Sergino Dest gets the ball on the right, flicks the ball onto his left foot and hammers it just over the bar.

Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona
A second Sevilla yellow card as Diego Carlos pulls down Lionel Messi, who was holding him off. Messi has gone down - he seems to be checking a tooth perhaps.
Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona
Barcelona are unbeaten in each of their last 31 La Liga matches in which they scored the opening goal (W28 D3), since a 3-1 defeat at Levante on 2 November 2019.
Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona
Lionel Messi picks out Frenkie de Jong, who goes past a defender but instead of shooting he goes past another defender. He's too wide by this stage and his cross is fumbled and then caught by Bono.
Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona
Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen passes the ball straight to Papu Gomez but luckily the Sevilla player's pass/cross is poor and the keeper can scoop it up.
Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona
That is Ousmane Dembele's first La Liga away goal since 8 December 2018, in a 4-0 win at Espanyol.

Barcelona have had three shots, all on target. Sevilla haven't had an effort yet.
Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona
Sevilla's Fernando goes into the book.
Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona
Clement Lenglet handled the ball earlier in that move but the goal is allowed to stand. He kicks it off his arms which seems to be allowed.
Ousmane Dembele
Excellent goal and Barcelona lead.
Lionel Messi gets the ball near halfway and slips a wonderful through ball into the path of Ousmane Dembele, who nips in between two defenders and slots through the keeper's legs.
Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
Almost vintage Lionel Messi as he picks the ball up near the halfway line and absolutely glides past a few defenders before being tackled by Diego Carlos in the box.
Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
Oooooooh. Lionel Messi takes a free-kick on the right wing, everyone is expecting a cross but Messi goes for goal instead. Luckily Bono is able to race across his goal and catch it on the line.
Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
Now we finally have a bit of action at both ends.
Sevilla have a first real attack but Papu Gomez's cross is caught by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Barca counter and Ousmane Dembele's curling effort from the edge of the box is held by Bono.
Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
Pretty physical start from Sevilla, 6-1 on fouls including one by Ivan Rakitic on his old team-mate Sergio Busquets.
No shots by either side yet.
Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
Lovely nutmeg by Sergino Dest on Fernando, who brings the Barca player down. A free-kick but Barca make a mess of it.
Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
Good strength from Ousmane Dembele to win the ball off form Sevilla defender Jules Kounde and his cross is put behind by Fernando. Corner comes to nothing.
Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
They play the corner short and Lionel Messi's cross is over everyone.
Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
A nice spell of possession for Barcelona. The centre-backs are playing in the centre circle at the moment - but little action in the final third.
They do have a corner now as Fernando heads Sergino Dest's cross behind.
Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
Slick move by Barcelona as Lionel Messi feeds right wing-back Sergino Dest, who bursts into the box but has a cross blocked.
