The result sees Barcelona move six points clear of
second-placed Atletico Madrid at the top of the
La Liga with Valencia toppling Real Sociedad in
the seventh spot.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Philippe Coutinho
has applauded Lionel Messi for handing him the
responsibility to take the morale-boosting spot-
kick that helped Barcelona thrash Sevilla to claim
a semi-final spot in the Copa del Rey.
The Brazilian has struggled for form this term
after falling behind Ousmane Dembele in the
pecking order, but with Frenchman still
recuperating from hamstring injury, club boss
Ernesto Valverde, handed him a life-line in
Barcelona’s front-line.
