The Spain defender coolly slotted home the winning goal of an entertaining contest just after half-time, ensuring the hosts – who saw closest rivals Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid on Saturday – avoided a slip-up against the last team to beat them in the top flight.
The win extends Barca’s unbeaten run to 34 games, but they were made to work hard against a Sevilla side that showed no fear against the league leaders.
Sevilla came into the match on the back of a seven-game streak without defeat and Vitolo gave them a deserved lead after 20 minutes, before Lionel Messi soothed Barca’s nerves when he scored from a brilliant free-kick.
