Real Madrid marched to Sevilla’s stadium with high confidence, as they had won 8, drawn 1 in La Liga and had only conceded 6 goals. Sevilla is in decline this season and is not highly rated, even though they play at Sanchez Pizjuan’s home field.

In La Liga last season, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla in both matches. The Spanish Royal Club has won 42 victories in 62 clashes with Sevilla.
With all the advantages in favor of Real Madrid and high morale, the away team entered the match very confidently. Coach Ancelotti’s team dominated the game, causing Sevilla to only know how to retreat deeper into defense.
In the 4th minute, the referee did not recognize Valverde’s goal because Bellingham had previously committed an offside error. In the 10th minute, Bellingham was denied a goal after Valverde fouled a Sevilla player.
In the following minutes, Sevilla’s defense under the command of Sergio Ramos successfully completed the task of locking down the attacking stars on the opposing side. Ramos’ understanding of his former teammates allowed Sevilla’s defense to successfully neutralize the away team.

The attack was not sharp, but Sevilla was lucky. In the 74th minute, the home team suddenly opened the score 1-0 after Alaba fumbled an own goal.
But 4 minutes later, Carvajal played the role of hero with a goal in the 78th minute to bring a 1-1 draw for Real Madrid after a powerful header into the near corner. Real Madrid is still at the top of La Liga with 25 points/10 matches, but Atletico, Girona and Barcelona are putting pressure behind.Squad
