Seville’s most recent league victory at Camp Nou dates back to 2002, and since then they have secured just one win, and that came in the Copa del Rey rather than the league.
Every time Sevilla visits Camp Nou, it seems to turn into a nightmare. This was evident last Sunday when Barcelona edged to a 3–0 win on matchday 20 of the 2022–23 La Liga season.
When was the last time Sevilla beat Barcelona at Camp Nou?
In La Liga, the Nervión club has not won in their last 20 visits to Barcelona. Across those visits, Sevilla has recorded three draws and 17 defeats.
To locate their most recent league victory at the venue, one must go back more than two decades to a 0–3 win in December 2002. That match featured Joaquín Caparrós as Sevilla coach and was also a game in which Xavi Hernández—now the Barcelona manager— appeared as a player. The outcome contributed to a crisis that eventually led to the resignation of Barcelona president Joan Gaspart.
Since 2002, a sequence of coaches has led Sevilla on Catalan soil, with Juande Ramos, Manolo Jiménez, Antonio Álvarez, Gregorio Manzano, Míchel, Unai Emery, Jorge Sampaoli, Eduardo Berizzo, Pablo Machín, and Julen Lopetegui attempting different approaches. Across these visits, the team has often adjusted tactics to either press the hosts aggressively or absorb pressure to avoid another defeat in their travels to Camp Nou.
Barcelona have collected 54 of the last 60 possible La Liga points against Sevilla at Camp Nou, and they have scored 55 goals in those clashes, averaging nearly three per game while Sevilla has conceded 13. The Andalusian side managed to salvage points only on three occasions: a 1–1 draw in the 2003–2004 season, a goalless draw in 2011–2012, and another draw in the 2020–21 campaign.
In cup competition, Sevilla’s lone bright moment came in January 2010 when they won 1–2 in the first leg of the Round of 16 in the Copa del Rey but were eliminated by the Blaugrana in the end. Their most recent triumph near Camp Nou in national competition came later when they captured a title against Atlético de Madrid with a 0–2 victory, marking Sevilla’s last notable success in the Blaugrana region.
Beyond these results, Camp Nou has also witnessed disappointments for Sevilla in other formats, including exits in four editions of the Copa del Rey and losses in two-legged Spanish Super Cup finals. Playing there has frequently been associated with defeat, frustration, and a sense of edging away from glory for Sevilla.
These patterns contribute to a long-running narrative about Sevilla’s struggles in Barcelona’s fortress, a story that continues to color the expectations of fans and analysts alike.
