Quotes
"It's different playing with 10 men and we did really well. Fermín was disappointed about the sending off but he had scored an important goal," Barcelona manager Hansi Flick said after his side's win over Sevilla.
"These things happen and it's a good lesson in playing 4-4-1 and defending... The situation is better than before but for the moment we are just focused on what we are doing. We have to win the game and not think about what the others are doing."
"There is still a long way to go and a lot of games left."

Barcelona secured a 2-1 win over Vallecano in their last meeting in La Liga, which took place at the Estadio de Vallecas on 27 August.
