• Liga: Messi regales
FC Barcelona, who were led 1-0 at the break after Iglesias opened in the 38th minute, managed to turn the tide against Sevilla Betis.
Lionel Messi's entry in the 57th minute changed the game, with a goal scored just two minutes later.
Nine minutes later, the Catalans took the advantage on a goal against his camp of Victor Ruiz (68th).
But the former Villarreal defender redeemed himself in the most beautiful way in the 75th minute, equalizing with a header on a free kick shot by Nabil Fekir, author of a very good match.
Barça however managed to snatch the three points of victory on a splendid goal from the young striker Trincao, who came into play in the 57th, with a curled shot from the left in the top corner (87th).
Lionel Messi and his family are now eleven games unbeaten, including nine wins, six in a row.
The Barcelona are second in Liga, ahead of Real Madrid who won Saturday in Huesca (2-1).
Ronald Koeman's team, however, remain seven lengths behind the leader, Atlético, who will host Celta Vigo on Monday at the end of the day.

• Ligue 1: PSG dominate the "classic"
PSG, realistic, won the 100th Clasico on the ground of Marseille (2-0).
Without being brilliant, the Parisians gave a lesson in realism to OM, to take revenge for the first leg lost in the capital.
Kylian Mbappé (9th) and Mauro Icardi (24th), scorers, made us forget that Neymar started as a substitute because of gastroenteritis.
Paris (3rd, 51 pts) thus remains firmly attached to the podium and in contact with the leader Lille, winner in Nantes (2-0) on Sunday.
Overtaken Saturday by Lyon, the Lille took back the lead of Ligue 1 by winning at La Beaujoire, thanks to a double from Jonathan David, against the Nantes now barrage after this 15th game without a win.
Victory in this 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚.

• Serie A: Zlatan exceeds 500
goals
AC Milan regained the lead in Serie A, ahead of Inter and Juventus, easily beating the red lantern Crotone (4-0) on Sunday, with the key to a double from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who thus scored his 500th and 501st club goals.
Crotone resisted well for half an hour against a very restless Ibrahimovic, until the Swedish veteran showed the way by opening the scoring: an unstoppable shot from the right into the small net (30th).
It was still necessary to make the break, to definitively reassure the leader of Serie A. And it was Ibrahimovic who took care of the job, while the defense of Crotone had left him alone at six meters (64th).
For its part, Inter went to beat Fiorentina on Friday (2-0), then Juve had done the same, on the same score, Saturday in Turin against AS Rome.

• Premier League: Liverpool humiliated
Manchester City inflicted a third defeat in a row at home on Sunday to Liverpool, crushed 4-1 and whose chances of defending their title are seriously compromised after 23 days of the Premier League.
The Citizens won after a festival of defensive error from the Reds.
Gundogan, who had missed a penalty in the first half, was able to recover by scoring a brace in the second half in the 49th and 73rd minutes.
Three minutes later, Sterling came in to score his first goal against Liverpool since leaving.
Finally, in the 83rd minute, Foden came to conclude the victory with a magnificent goal.
Mohamed Salah equalized in the 66th minute on a penalty.
In the standings, Liverpool are fourth and are 10 points behind the leader citizen.
With the return of their striker-scorer Harry Kane, Tottenham for its part returned to success by beating the relegation West Bromwich Albion (2-0), Sunday, and clings to the European wagon.
In the second game of the afternoon, Leicester could not do better than a goalless draw (0-0) at Wolverhampton, despite the return of their favorite scorer, Jamie Vardy, who entered half an hour from the end.
Leicester retains its 3rd place with 43 points.
