#1 No attacking inspiration for Barca without Dembele and Messi

Lionel Messi was rested for the match, and Ousmane Dembele was out with a knee injury. Both of them have been Barcelona's best-attacking instigators this season, and the attack suffered without them.
They could carve out only one clear chance in the game, and Malcolm scuffed his effort on that one. Barca took 10 shots in the game, but only 1 of them was on target. It's safe to say that Sevilla goalkeeper Juan Soriano was not troubled much.
Malcom and Alena, who played in the wide positions failed to make much of an impact. Messi's passing and creativity were missed, and Dembele's dribbling and trickery would have come in handy as well. Even after Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho came on, there was no radical improvement. Valverde will definitely play Messi from the off in the coming weeks, at least till Dembele is fit again.
