MADRID, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid entered the international break at the top of La Liga after beating Villarreal on Saturday, while FC Barcelona slumped to a 4-1 defeat away to Sevilla on Sunday.
Missing Lamine Yamal and Raphinha and showing fatigue after Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona was overrun in the first half. Alexis Sanchez converted a penalty before Isaac Romero doubled Sevilla's lead, and Marcus Rashford pulled one back late in first-half stoppage time.
