Lionel Messi’s fine goal was not enough as Barcelona were kept off the top of La Liga by another frustrating 1 – 1 draw in Valencia.
Barca – now four without a win in the league – fell behind when Gerard Pique made a mess of a clearance and Ezequiel Garay tapped in at the back post.
Messi then swapped passes with Luis Suarez and drilled in from 20 yards to equalise.
But Barca could not find a winner to leave Sevilla top of the table.
