Raphinha 10, Cancelo 9.5 | Barcelona 5-2 Sevilla: Player ratings | Barca Universal

"It was a dominant display from the Catalans, with Raphinha notably scoring a hat-trick, helped by two early penalties won by the team. Joao Cancelo also scored his first goal since returning to Barcelona and was one of the best performers in a night where coach Hansi Flick resorted to multiple changes on account of the upcoming second leg clash against Newcastle United."

"The win helps Barcelona regain their four-point advantage over Real Madrid at the top of the table and will set them up nicely for the midweek Champions League encounter."

"With Jules Kounde injured, the rapid emergence of Xavi Espart has been a blessing for Barcelona. The youngster used his nimble footwork to bring the ball out from the back. Although he wasn't as effective as Cancelo on the opposite, he was a stable presence on the flanks."

Raphinha delivered an outstanding performance with a hat-trick, while Joao Cancelo scored his first goal since returning to the club.
