WATCH: Jordi Alba fires Barcelona ahead against Sevilla VIDEO 
Barcelona have finally forced themselves into a 1-0 lead against Sevilla via Jordi Alba's superb goal on the hour mark.
La Blaugrana have the chance to move eight points clear at the top of La Liga this weekend if they can secure a victory against the Andalucians.
The hosts struggled to find a way through a well drilled Sevilla defense before the half time whistle with Polish star Robert Lewandowski thwarted by Yassine Bounou
However, their intensity dropped after the restart, before a moment of magic from Franck Kessie and Alba.
Kessie's calmness inside the Sevilla box created an overload behind and the Ivorian flicked a clever pass into the onrushing Alba to bury his first goal of the 2022/23 season.
