HALFTIME, Barcelona 0-0 Sevilla: A good first half from Barça with plenty of possession and dangerous attacks but poor finishing in the final third. Sevilla grew into the game and finished the half well, and the second half promises to be tough.
KICKOFF! Barcelona 0-0 Sevilla: And we’re underway at Camp Nou!

Matchday Thread Rules
We don’t have a lot of rules here, but there are a few things to keep in mind when joining our matchday threads:
Even if the referee sucks or we lose the game, watch the swearing. It’s just unnecessary. Also, don’t discuss illegal streaming links. Those who do it will be warned, and those who post links will be instantly banned. Finally, be nice to each other. This is a Barcelona community and we don’t need to offend one another.
Have fun with the game! Forever and ever, no matter the competition, VISCA EL BARÇA!
