Barcelona defeated Sevilla 3-1 away in matchday 7 of LaLiga, securing their seventh consecutive league victory to start the new season. After the match, Barcelona midfielder Rodri spoke to 3Cat about the difference in his team's performance between the first and second halves, as well as the challenges faced in this fixture.

Seven wins from seven matches, maintaining a perfect record. Is this achievement somewhat surprising even for you?

Rodri: Our objective was very clear, as the manager stated beforehand—we wanted to win all seven matches before the international break. Now we've achieved that target. I think the team's performance during this stretch has been outstanding.

Today was probably the toughest match we've played since the start of the season. Sevilla's performance also deserves praise; in my opinion, they played very well. I feel we may have misjudged the match in the first half, but we played excellently in the second half.

Why do you think you misjudged the match in the first half?

Rodri: Because often, if your initial approach isn't working, you can't keep repeating the same mistakes. We lost possession too much, and that's exactly what they wanted. They were very strong in the midfield battles, and I think in a match like that, we needed to be calmer, play more passes, and create space. That's what we did in the second half.

The mistakes in the first half and some unnecessary losses of possession hurt us. They have players with high speed and strong physical abilities.
