La Liga: Barcelona Tighten Up Title Race After Beating Sevilla

Barcelona are yet in the La Liga title race, closing the gap with the table leaders Atletico Madrid after a 2-0 away win at Sevilla with Lionel Messi scoring his 19th goal of the season. 

Losing the game meant Sevilla's winning run of six games ended with the Catalan side that earned the much-deserved points from the match to trail Atletico by two points. 

Ousmane Dembele put Barce in the lead following a fast break and smashed the ball home from inside the box, and Messi doubled the lead by finishing his rebound shot that beat Bono with five minutes remaining before the full time.

Barca could have had more goals but could not find the back of the net especially Sergino Dest's shot from close range that clipped the side of the pole, not long after which Messi struck home his goal.
