Real Madrid clings once again to its mystique and come back against Sevilla | Sports

They say that the art of their football has no rival. And it is that only Real can do it. In a week where so much has been said about styles, the leader of the competition reaffirms his style: winning. It is so. Again. You could smell it from Rodrygo’s goal. That feeling that those from Chamartín could do it again and they did. The faith that only its believers understand. One of those nights that are remembered. One of those that can be worth a title.

A disastrous first half for Real Madrid

Real Madrid went to Sánchez Pizjuán with the idea of ​​dominating their rival and not wavering, it seems that they were aware of the importance of the result. During the first ten minutes, Ancelotti’s men seemed to have learned their lesson with Chelsea. Nothing is further from reality. The Nervionenses quickly understood that without pressure and bite they were not going to be able to hurt the whites. Once again, the Chamartín team insisted that some unexpected genius or a goal resulting from an error by the opponent would suffice. But Sevilla sounded like a Beethoven symphony and honored Easter Sunday.

A possible maximum penalty was called for by Diego Carlos after a badly taken corner by the whites. Nothing punishable for Cuadra Fernández. He did not take long to replicate the Nervión ensemble and in what way. A caress from Rakitic hit Real Madrid hard in the 20th minute of the match. The Italian coach warned him in the press conference prior to the match: Militao continues to fail in these details. No sooner said than done. In five electric minutes, Lopetegui’s Sevilla unleashed the perfect storm at Easter, with a most rudimentary goal: three passes and an inside shot that went to the back of the net. Disaster in Concha Espina, another one. However, the virgin came to see Real, when Camavinga ran over Martial and escaped expulsion. The Frenchman, on the other hand, retired injured and with cardboard. Seeing is believing.

The change of face and the fall of Sevilla

Karim Benzema emerged as the common thread of the first and second halves, because from his feet was born the genius that closed one and the clear and manifest occasion that opened the other. The whites appeared with the clear idea of ​​overcoming the game. It was time for the blackboards and the coach vindicated himself, once again, introducing Rodrygo who did not take five minutes to agree with his coach. The 4-3-3 began to carburete against a Sevilla that stalled in the middle of the slope. The French striker was in charge of taking the magic out of him, another night, at the service of his team in search of another dream night.

Real braided an ideal play, from side to side, from the center to the band, from the band to the center and inside. Vinicius’s volley silenced Sánchez Pizjuán and began to remind him of the usual: the Madrid of comebacks. But no, Cuadra Fernández whistled hands on control, the VAR called him insinuating that they did not agree and not even for those. However, Ancelotti’s pupils were already on the rampage in search of the epic, as always. And in one of those a secondary actor appeared wanting to be the protagonist: Nacho Fernández.

It was not enough. Unlike in the first half, Real Madrid insisted on reaffirming itself as leader of the championship. He pushed with everything and did it. Rodrygo left it on a platter so that the footballer who continues to add points to win the Golden Ball, could consummate the comeback. Three goals in 45 minutes. The epic of the Champions also works in the League. The first half was for Nervión, the second was played in Chamartín. It’s Real Madrid and the rivals are starting to get used to it.
