Barcelona can move into sole possession of second place in La Liga with a Saturday victory at Sevilla, who have fallen on hard times to start the campaign ...

Barcelona is an excuse to watch Ronaldinho's first goal in a Barcelona shirt. And although the Sevilla defenders cleared off the line, it went right to Raphinha, who headed home at the goal line. Big save by Barcelona 'keeper Ter Stegen against Ivan Rakitic in a one-on-one. Dembele-Lewandowski-Raphinha all combined on the first, and then Lewandowski showed his class on the second goal with a clinical control and finish. Jose Angel and Delaney are in for Gudelj and Jordan. Beautiful driven ball by Jules Kounde from the right side, and Lewandowski is clinical. Erik Lamela has two bites at a ball in the box but Eric Garcia gets in his way on both occasions. A result in the UEFA Champions League against Man City might buy him the time he needs. Then there was goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who came through with a save at a critical juncture early in the match. Lewandowski was a catalyst on the first Barcelona goal with his chip cleared off the line, where teammate Raphinha was ready to pounce and head home the loose ball. Of course, a handful of these same players were part of the team during the rougher stretches of the last campaign. Jules Kounde was exceptional at right-back — he assisted on two goals — and Eric Garcia made a handful of key defensive plays in addition to scoring a goal.

Raphinha scored his first league goal to help Barcelona brush a winless Sevilla aside as Xavi's side claimed their third straight La Liga win.

His weighted pass is accepted by Lewandowski, his chipped effort is cleared off the line by Fernando but Raphinha is waiting to pounce, heading in on the rebound. SEVILLA 0-1 BARCELONA (RAPHINHA): A first goal in La Liga for Raphinha as Barcelona take the lead on the counter-attack! he tries to curl it around the Barca goalkeeper but he's able to turn it around the post. Incredible vision from Isco and he has the technique to execute as he threads a throughball into the path of En Nesyri, who has just Ter Stegen to beat... While there were shades of vintage-Barca in how they controlled the game, moved the ball and the number of chances they created, there appears to be big problems at Sevilla. The hosts made an encouraging start and time and time again were getting in behind Barca’s defence.

Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Eric Garcia were among the goals for Barcelona as they ran out 3-0 winners against Sevilla at Camp Nou on Saturday.

Making just his second appearance for the Blaugrana, the defender stood out for his sharp play. Raphinha headed in a rebound to fire the visitors into the lead after 21 minutes, before Lewandowski took on a Jules Kounde cross and doubled their advantage. ALL EYES ON: Jules Kounde returned to former side Sevilla for the first time since joining Barcelona in the summer transfer window.

Robert Lewandowski scored his fifth goal in four LaLiga games for Barcelona and helped his team breeze past Sevilla in a 3-0 win on Saturday, with Raphinha ...

[Frenkie de Jong](https://www.espn.com.au/football/player/_/id/219022/Frenkie-de-Jong) almost scoring from the rebound.

[Ousmane Dembele](https://www.espn.com.au/football/player/_/id/229744/Ousmane-Dembélé) missed a golden opportunity to score a third after a great run right before half-time, but his chipped shot over the goalkeeper sailed just past the left post. [Jules Kounde](https://www.espn.com.au/football/player/_/id/231692/Jules-Koundé), playing for the first time against Sevilla after leaving to sign with Barcelona this summer, sent a perfect cross into the box that Lewandowski caught on his chest before striking his volley into the bottom left corner.

Robert Lewandowski scored his fifth goal in three LaLiga games and Raphinha opened his Barcelona account in a 3-0 victory over fragile Sevilla.

Lewandowski failed to chip Bounou when he was sent clear again as the busy keeper stood tall and stuck out a palm and Frenkie de Jong was unable to finish following up on a painful evening for Julen Lopetegui's struggling side. Eric Garcia got in on the act with his first senior goal in the second half and Jules Kounde provided two assists against his former club on his return to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, where Barca cruised to a third consecutive victory. Kounde somehow failed to add a third against his former club when he headed wide unchallenged from only five yards out with Sevilla all at sea at the back.

but the problem is I’ve got to pick A-League players on reputation more than form because they’re not playing, and that puts them in a little bit of a difficulty.” He’s got to keep his feet on the ground, and I’m sure that will happen – he’s got a good support network around him.” “We’ve got some good young kids, and they’ve just got to be given that opportunity. I can’t go anywhere until January, so it gives me time to make a decision.” “I’m chilling, to be honest,” Kuol told the Nine papers. The 17-year-old winger is reportedly “a near certainty” to leave A-League side Central Coast Mariners during the middle of the upcoming season.

That, in itself, is a testament to the impact he had on the game. When released into space by Dembele, he chipped the ball over the goalkeeper and was unlucky to not get the goal. Receiving the ball from Jules Kounde, he calmly controlled it with his chest in one touch and volleyed it past Bono. Not even four games have passed in the new season and the Polish international has already managed to silence his critics. However, it was on another level at the Ramon Sanchez Pijzuan on Saturday. Xavi did not make any changes in his starting lineup for the game at the Ramon Sanchez Pijzuan, and the decision paid off.

Facing his old team for the first time since leaving this summer, Barça defender Jules Kounde played in a lovely ball over the top to Lewandoswki. Cool as ever, ...

Kounde headed a pass from Dembélé into the path of Eric Garcia, and the defender made it 3-0 to decisively kill off the game. Thankfully, it fell into the path of Raphinha, who gratefully accepted the gift and headed home his first Barcelona goal. The home side started brightly at the Román Sánchez Pizjuán, but Barça rode the wave, drawing the sting from Sevilla, before hitting them with a flurry of knockout blows.

One of those options is Garang Kuol of Central Coast Mariners, who is seemingly becoming one of the most sought-after Australian players in the market.

However, luring Kuol to Barcelona could be an extremely tricky task for the Catalans. However, the Catalans are not alone in the chase and may face stiff competition from other European giants including Chelsea. But given the way Barça have prospered in recent years in terms of youth development, a move to Camp Nou could prove to be rather intriguing for Kuol as well, as he looks to take the next step in his career.
