Athletic Club goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala made a series of excellent saves to help his side to a hard-fought 1-0 win at home to Slavia Prague in the Europa League.
Atletico Madrid are one win away from assuring a place in next season's Champions League after beating Celta Vigo 1-0 at home.
It was another disappointment for Barcelona, as the club was expecting to go to the Copa del Rey semifinals for the second straight season.
Barcelona, although it controlled the ball just 44 per cent of the time, a record low in league games since the 2004-2005 season, still managed to implement coach Ernesto Valverde's plan switching from a 4-3-3 configuration to 4-4-2, dropping Philippe Coutinho for Arturo Vidal.
The victory brings Sevilla to 55 points from 25 matches, just one less than Real Madrid.
