The Catalans, who were 2 goals up via Messi and Neymar in the first half of the game had won all their nine games before the Sevilla clash but the Unai Emery's men came back to salvage a point for themselves with efforts from Ever Banega and Kevin Gameiro causing Luis Enrique's men to drop two points.
Earlier on Saturday, Real Madrid defeated Eibar 3-0 to cut the gap to 2 points on the Spanish league table with seven games to go in the 2014/15 season.
"At the end it was not possible to win," the 26-year-old told Canal Plus. "Controlling games is our philosophy, but Sevilla pushed back against our attempts.
"The whole Barca team was at fault for the first goal they scored, it was a team mistake. We were just not able to get three more points.
"There's still a hard calendar ahead of us. We are two points ahead of Real Madrid still, it's only one match over them essentially, so we need to keep adding points."
Barca's next opposition is Paris Saint-Germain, who just thumbed Basitia 4-0 to clinch their second trophy of the season.
The French giants will host the Luis Enrique's men in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday.
The duo have clashed already at Parc des Princes this season, with PSG having come out on top in France prior to Barca's win back at at Camp Nou in the reverse fixture.
