Barcelona suffered a 1-1 draw against Valencia on Sunday, failing to win their fourth consecutive win in the Spanish league and losing to Sevilla.
The defending champions were held back in the second minute at Mestaya Stadium after a defensive mistake in a corner that gave Argentine defender Ezekiel Garai a chance to put the ball in the net from close range.
Barcelona continued to miss the opportunity, but returned with a shot from Lionel Messi in the 23rd minute.
Barca failed to break through the hosts' defense after that, to a three-point draw and one defeat in the last four games in Al-Darwi, the longest winning streak since 2016.
Sevilla took the lead on 16 points with a 2-1 win at home to Celta Vigo, their fourth win in a row, beating Atletico Madrid, who were held for several hours after a 1-0 win over Real Betis.
Barcelona and Atletico are second with 15 points.
