At 4:30 a.m. Beijing time on December 22, the 4th round of the 2021-2022 La Liga season was a make-up match, Barca drew 1-1 away to Sevilla, Gomez rushed to break the goal, Araujo equalized with a hammer, and Conde left the field with a violent foul. After the campaign, Barca rose to 7th with 28 points, and Xavi's side missed a good opportunity to reach the top 4.
Barca, who beat Elche 3-2 in the last round, welcomed strong rivals Sevilla in the play-offs, and although they have remained unbeaten against Barca in la Liga in the past 11 times, that was all with messi's blessing. In this battle, Harvey continued to sacrifice the trident of youth of Dembele + Hutgra + Abd, and the 17-year-old Gavi attacked, and Pique returned to the starting position. On Sevilla's side, Rakitic played against the old masters.
In the 22nd minute, Mir was ruled offside with a one-handed goal, and Barca escaped the attack. In the 32nd minute, Rakitic's corner kick was crossed, Gomez grabbed a kick inside the penalty area, and the ball penetrated the Barca defense and into the far corner, 1-0! It was Ter Stegen's 300th goal conceded in 300 appearances for Barca.
In the 38th minute, Busquets attempted a right-footed long-range shot from outside the box only to be deflected just slightly. In the 45th minute, Dembele's corner kick from the right was released, Araujo jumped high inside the penalty area and shook his head, and the ball flew into the far corner of the goal, making the score 1-1! It was Araujo's second goal for Barca this season, with the 22-year-old Uruguay international celebrating wildly. The two teams drew 1-1 in the first half.
In the 64th minute, when Conde wanted to send the ball out of bounds quickly, he was blocked by Alba and lost control, he slammed the ball into the face of Barca Flying Wing, the referee directly showed a red card to send Conde off, and Sevilla only had 10 people left to fight. Ennesri and Goodley then came off the bench.
For the rest of the game, Barca stepped up their attack with more and less games, and in the 72nd minute, Dembele dodged the defender's left-footed burst on the right to deflect the ball slightly offside, Xavi replaced the injured Garcia with Lenglet, and Nico Gonzalez was also on the line. In the 81st minute, Aboud hung obliquely in the penalty area, and Garvey flicked his head to attack the goal, which was a pity! In the 84th minute, Dembele's right-footed arcing ball hit the far corner and the ball hit the upright and popped up! Barca almost finished the dead.
In the end, Barca shook hands with 10-man Sevilla away 1-1, and the Red and Blues did not seize the opportunity to play more and play less and only scored 1 point, which was more disappointing for Xavi. Sevilla continue to finish second in the league with 38 points, five points away from top Real Madrid.
