Raphinha Hat-trick Keeps Barcelona 4 Clear In La Liga

By IANS News March 16, 2026 • 09:10 AM View: 621

La Liga: Raphinha scored a hat-trick as FC Barcelona maintained its four-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with a 5-2 home win over Sevilla on Sunday afternoon

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick rested Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez ahead of next Wednesday's Champions League tie at home to Newcastle United, but his side quickly took control thanks to two penalties from Raphinha.

The first came after Joao Cancelo had his shirt pulled in the Sevilla penalty area after seven minutes, while the second followed a handball after another Cancelo run into the box.
