Sports News of Saturday, 20 June 2020Source: BBCBarcelona held to goalless draw by SevillaLionel Messi has 699 career goalsSpanish league leaders Barcelona were held to a goalless draw at Sevilla, leaving the title race wide open with eight games remaining. The result means second-placed Real Madrid could move level on points with Barcelona when they travel to Real Sociedad on Sunday. Lionel Messi's free-kick skimmed the bar in the first half but Barcelona were frustrated by Sevilla's defence. Sevilla sat deep, often playing with five at the back, and it proved effective as Barcelona saw lots of the ball but failed to create many clear-cut opportunities. The league leaders next play Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday, 23 June, while Messi remains one off 700 career goals.
