Madrid were stirred into action vs Sevilla!
Watch the fantastic goals of Real Madrid now!
The Fede Express delivered on time again with eight minutes left to send an unstoppable shot past Sevilla keeper Bono and finally kill-off defiant Sevilla. He hobbled off at the end after a clash with Papu Gomez,
but that was the only bad new on a night when Madrid overcame a mini Sevilla comeback to pick up another impressive win.
They were showing off the family treasure before kick-off with Thibaut Courtois handed his recently-won Yashin trophy by Iker Casillas,
and Zinedine Zidane also out in the driving rain to hand Karim Benzema his Ballon d’Or.
Benzema followed Zidane and Casillas back under cover to watch the game
– a muscle problem meant the forward was not risked.
Madrid were ahead on five minutes when the electric Vinicius
broke down the left and into the area before sliding a pass through a crowded six-yard box to Luka Modric who scored from close range.
Ferenc Puskas once scored for Madrid aged 38 years and 233 days,
and Alfredo di Stefano managed it at 37 years and 255 days – Modric had become the club’s third oldest scorer just 43 days after his 37th birthday.
Madrid were in control for the rest of the first half with Sevilla not really causing Courtois any problems but things changed after the break.
On 55 minutes Sevilla were level and it was two touches with the outside of the foot
that brought the goal. First Gonzalo Montiel played an outside of the foot pass that split the Madrid defence and Eric Lamela ran on to it and,
from the tightest of angles,
and with the outside of his left foot, sent his shot past Courto is.
