Real Madrid came back from the grave again to record an incredible comeback: The Blancos beat Sevilla 2: 3 tonight (Sunday), despite falling two goals behind in the first half, and came close to winning the championship after Karim Benzema completed a makeover in the 92nd minute. As befits such a tense and event-saturated game, the reactions from both sides at the end were also charged.
Ivan Rakitić, who scored the first goal of the game with a great free kick, was angry that Eduardo Camavinga was not sent off after a serious foul in a 2-0 situation: “Vinicius’ hand was clear, I do not understand why so much noise is made around it.”
Carlo Ancelotti also sent a sting to the referee, who canceled out an equalizer for Vinicius even before Nacho and Benzema made sure to complete the comeback. “Vinicius swore to me that he did not touch the hand. I do not believe the referee disqualified it, if he had removed Cambinga – his plan would have been executed perfectly,” said the Italian, who repeated before the game: “Everyone is waiting for Real Madrid to have a punch. R., but we continue to sail. “
Real gave Sevilla their first home loss of the season in the league, recording their third consecutive victory over Ramon Sanchez Pijuan – its second-best streak at the same stadium since 1996.
Last month the Blancos took advantage of the relegation in the Champions League quarter-finals in a 1-3 draw against Paris Saint-Germain, went back from 3-0 to 3-2 against Chelsea to advance to the semi-finals, and last night came out of a double lag to win over Sevilla. What do the three games have in common? In all of them Benzema scored the decisive goal.
One step closer to the title… ????
