Barcelona replied to Real Madrid's victory the day before with an impressive 4-0 win over third placed Sevilla on Wednesday night. Within three minutes Iniesta had given Guardiola's side the lead, catching out replacement keeper Javi Varas (Palop was suspended) with a long shot. And Eto'o made it two with just over a quarter of an hour gone after Xavi and Iniesta combined to set him up.
The locals kept up the pressure after that though, and Manolo Jiménez turned to Kanouté at the break. However soon after the restart Xavi got a third after another assist from Iniesta, an all time club record 92nd of the league season. And Henry finished things off with a fourth soon afterwards after another through ball from Iniesta, who was given a standing ovation by the fans when he was substituted a few minutes later.
