On Saturday, La Liga leaders Barcelona traveled to face fifth-placed Sevilla in a tricky encounter. Despite having lost every fixture against the Blaugrana since 2010, Unai Emery's crew have not tasted defeat at home for over 14 months.
The Catalan giants, however, were unable to secure victory at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, drawing 2-2 in the closing stage of the game.
It was Barcelona who drew first blood, taking an early lead through a lovely Lionel Messi volley with 14 minutes on the clock. 17 minutes later, and they were 2-0 up after a beautiful Neymar free-kick goal.

The comeback began soon after Neymar's strike. Sevilla pulled one back, scoring in the 38th minute thanks to a Claudio Bravo error. With only six minutes remaining before the final whistle, a mix up in the midfield saw Sevilla take advantage, counter, and score the equalizer.
Gerard Pique got blamed as Barcelona let a two-goal lead slip for the first time in over two years. The result sees the race for the title swing wide open, as the gap between them and Real Madrid was slashed to two points.
The Camp Nou side still hold top spot, but Los Blancos' faithful were quick to troll their arch rivals. Check out the best tweets.

Nothing is over yet. We have to play Sevilla away as well. Have a mini party to celebrate Barca's draw tonight, but nothing is done yet.

Sevilla hasn't lost at home in ages. Let's keep that in mind, this is a brilliant side. Moving on, no time to dwell in this.

One last thought, Sevilla is the best side Barcelona faced this season away from home along Atleti. It was never going to be easy.

Pique blamed after Sevilla scored a late equalizer
Gameiro scores it. Pique, who has been superb, gave it away...
