Raphinha scored a second hat-trick in four days as Barcelona recovered from an early setback to beat Sevilla 3-1 at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán and preserve their perfect La Liga start.
Sevilla struck first through Fofana in the 19th minute, but Raphinha levelled three minutes later before adding two second-half goals. The final score was Barcelona's seventh league win from seven matches, according to La Liga's official match record, and the club's eighth consecutive victory in all competitions at the start of 2026-27.
It was a result with a clear shape. Sevilla had the home crowd and an early lead. Barcelona found a response before half-time, then used the second half to take control. That does not make a seven-match sequence a guarantee of what will happen after the international break, but it does leave the league leaders with a clean early record.
Sevilla take the first lead
The opening goal came from the home side. La Liga records Fofana as scorer in the 19th minute, and Barcelona's own match report described the move as a low cross from Félix Correia that found him at the near post.
The response was quick. Raphinha scored in the 22nd minute to make it 1-1, and the official timeline confirms that was the score at the interval. The timing mattered. Sevilla had made the match difficult, but Barcelona did not have to carry a deficit into the break.
For readers using BetOwl's Football hub, the useful distinction is between the confirmed scoreline and the broader conclusions that can be drawn from it. Barcelona won this match after falling behind. The result is strong evidence of how this evening unfolded. It is not evidence that every future away match will follow the same route, or that a comeback is a dependable betting angle.
Sevilla's start was not an accident of the scoreboard. Their pre-match position had reflected four wins from six league games, and the home side approached the fixture after two recent league victories. Barcelona's recovery therefore came against a team that had begun the campaign well, rather than a result that can be reduced to a simple mismatch.
Raphinha decides the second half
Barcelona went in front seven minutes after the restart. La Liga lists Raphinha's second goal in the 52nd minute, with Lamine Yamal credited for the assist. The same pairing settled the game in the 69th minute, when Raphinha completed his hat-trick.
That sequence gives the result its central fact: one player scored all three Barcelona goals, while Yamal contributed assists to the final two. Barcelona's report called it a perfect hat-trick, with a finish from open play in the first half followed by a header and a lifted finish after the interval. The official scorecard supplies the firmer record: 1-3, Raphinha at 22, 52 and 69 minutes.
There are reasons to keep the language measured. A hat-trick is an exceptional individual match contribution, but it does not establish a fixed output for a player's next appearance. Availability, opposition, minutes, match state and role all change. The sensible value of this result is as fresh performance evidence, not as an implied promise for a future market.
That caution matters especially around a prominent scorer. Past goals can be relevant to an assessment, but a price can change quickly and no single match removes the normal uncertainty of football. Anyone considering a bet should check confirmed team news, competition rules, prices and their own limits. Gambling involves risk, and should never be treated as a way to solve money problems.
A clean league record before the break
The final whistle left Barcelona on seven wins from seven La Liga matches. The club's results page records the earlier league victories in the same run, while the official competition site lists Saturday's 3-1 result and the attendance of 41,145 in Seville.
There is still an important qualification. The next round of fixtures has not been played, and the campaign is only at its seventh matchday. League tables and winning runs describe what has happened, not what must happen next. Barcelona will return from the international break with a perfect record to protect, while Sevilla can take the early lead and the competitiveness of the first half as more immediate evidence than the bare final score suggests.
For BetOwl's News coverage, the headline is straightforward. Barcelona were behind after 19 minutes, Raphinha equalised within three, and his two second-half goals turned the match. The result kept the leaders perfect and sent the Brazilian into the break with a second hat-trick in the space of a week.
The broader judgement can wait. Football changes quickly from one fixture to the next, particularly after a break in the calendar. This match belongs to Barcelona because Raphinha finished it, but the next match will begin with a different opponent, different conditions and no carry-over certainty from Seville.
