The match, played behind closed doors, saw Barcelona's Lionel Messi fail to reach his 700th career goal, coming closest with a first-half free kick that was headed off the line.
Sevilla's Sergio Reguilon had a chance to snatch a winner in added time but hit the ball into the ground, allowing Barcelona's Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to make a comfortable save.
