The Barcelona coach is happy with his 2-0 win.

 

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman won a tactical battle with Sevilla rival Julen Lopetegui on Saturday. His team played in Sanchez Pizjuan  won 2-0. 

Ousmane Dembele and Lionel Messi scored goals and Barcelona dominated the game from start to finish, thanks to Koeman's decision to switch back to the three-pointer. 

Koman said: "We changed the system, and most importantly, we tried to press Sevilla well as we did throughout the game." 

"We didn't let them rest." Koeman added: "The team showed great ambition. Our attitude towards the ball is very good, but the mentality within 95 minutes is the key to winning the game today." 

Barcelona rose to 53 points, two times behind league champions Atletico Madrid, even though they now have two more games than Diego Simeone’s team. 

Dembele, who was fed by Messi, opened the goal in the 29th minute and gave Barcelona a chance to breathe: "As the system changes, we are also looking for Dembele's pace.

 And the passing of Leo and the midfielder. Our first goal is wanted."
