Barcelona edges Sevilla to move into 2nd in Spanish league

Barcelona’s revamped team under coach Xavi Hernández has kept its momentum and moved into second place in the Spanish league for the first time this season after defeating Sevilla...

Thibaut Courtois - Concedes one in winCourtois conceded one goal and made three saves during Sunday's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.

ImpactCourtois looked to rebound after the bad 4-0 loss to Barcelona in El Clasico and was helped out by three penalty calls in his side's favor at the other end of the pitch. Still, he should be feeling more confident heading into Wednesday's match against Chelsea in the UCL Quarterfinals.

Eder Militao - Makes two interceptions in winMilitao made two interceptions and put one shot off target in 85 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.

ImpactMilitao, for whatever reason, was pulled before completing the full 90 so he was unable to add that bonus and make up for a fourth straight match without a clean sheet. Keeping his net empty could prove another tall task against Chelsea, though the Blues are coming off a bad loss to Brentford ahead of their encounter Wednesday.

Vinicius Junior - Takes one shot in winVincius put one shot on target and committed six fouls during Saturday's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.

ImpactVinicius can sometimes look too frustrated to make an impact, but he still won five duels and logged a fourth straight full 90. It will be interesting to see what he can do in the UCL Quarterfinal against Chelsea after logging an assist in the last round against PSG.

Marco Asensio - Creates one chance in winAsensio created one chance from three crosses and put one shot off target in 61 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.

ImpactAsensio returned to the lineup for the first time in three matches and didn't have much to offer. As a result, he's likely to continue splitting time with Rodrygo on the right wing, though it may not be certain just yet which starts Wednesday against Chelsea in the UCL Quarterfinals.

Karim Benzema - Scores brace on pensBenzema scored two penalty goals on five shots (four on goal, one missed pen) and created two chances during Saturday's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.

ImpactBenzema benefitted from three separate penalty calls and put away two of them two keep up his streak of scoring in six straight league and UCL starts (10 total goals). If there's one player taking good form into the UCL Quarterfinals, it'll be Benzema in Wednesday's trip to Chelsea.

Matias Ezequiel Dituro - Saves pen in lossDituro conceded two goals and made four saves (one on a penalty) during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Real Madrid.

ImpactDituro has conceded nine goals in his last six starts but has shown some improvement with one clean sheet and three goals conceded in his last three games. What's more impactful is a lack of wins, as he's recorded just two in his last eight starts. Up next is a trip to Espanyol, which are still getting plenty of production from Raul de Tomas.
