Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi come to Barca's rescue in win at Sevilla

Barcelona turned a 1-0 deficit into a hard-fought 2-1 win thanks to Luis Suarez.

Barcelona survived a gruelling encounter thanks to a virtuoso display from Lionel Messi, who engineered a victory that was just about deserved despite Sevilla's valiant display. The game was a mirror image of Wednesday's defeat to Manchester City. This time, Barca resembled spectators for most of the first half but turned around the game in the second half and took all three points.
Positives
This game was proof that Barca can turn things around, even if only one or two players (preferably Messi) really turn it on. The fact they managed to take three points after such a bad start -- not to mention the continued absence of Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta and Jordi Alba -- will also give them the belief they can go on and win the title.
Negatives
Barca's performance brought back memories of allowing four goals in Vigo and their resounding defeat to City. Future opponents will know exactly how to hurt Barca from now on: press them high and hit them hard.
Coach rating
6/10 -- Luis Enrique can't be faulted for his selection; swapping Andre Gomes for Denis Suarez seemed like an obvious and correct choice. He has to shoulder some blame for the first-half display, though, and equally take credit for reorganising the team in the second half, even if the task was made a little easier by Sevilla's shortage of breath.
