'Stupid petty little details' - Barcelona blow it to let Madrid back into title race
Luis Enrique's side let a two-goal lead slip at
Sevilla and are now just two points clear of rivals Real in the La Liga
table. Their capitulation could prove costly...
La Liga is not over yet. Stunning strikes from Lionel Messi and Neymar put Barcelona in a commanding position at 2-0 up in Sevilla on Saturday, but the Catalans preceded to ruin all of their hard work as the home side secured a point - and now Real Madrid are back in the race for the title.
With Sevilla unbeaten at home in over a year, this was arguably Barca's biggest test in the final straight of La Liga. And for over half an hour, they looked like passing it with flying colours as Messi curled in a fine first and Neymar ended his recent goal drought with a superb second from a free-kick.
But Luis Suarez squandered three good chances, Claudio Bravo let Ever Banega's shot slip past his weak hands en route to the corner of the net and with time running out, Gerard Pique gifted possession to Jose Antonio Reyes, who set up Kevin Gameiro for a late leveller.
