Lionel Messi inspires Barcelona to win over Sevilla

Madrid: Messi was the difference again, scoring an equalizer with a well-placed shot from outside the area in the 43rd for his 500th goal for Barcelona. Messi is the club's all-time leading scorer with 469 goals in official matches and 31 in friendlies. Not content with that milestone, Messi set up Suarez's winner with a precise pass in the 61st in the back-and-forth game at Sevilla. Messi and Suarez lead the league in scoring with eight goals each. Victor "Vitolo" Machin had put Sevilla ahead in a breakaway in the 15th, speeding past a defender after a perfect through ball by midfielder Pablo Sarabia and firing a low shot past goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. It was the fourth straight win for Barcelona, and Sevilla's first home loss in the league this season. "It's a win that strengthens us as a team," Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. Sevilla, which had beaten Atletico Madrid at home earlier this season, was looking for another big victory to establish itself as a top contender after the arrival of Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli.
