EPIC. That's the word that can best describe today's game in Bernabéu against Sevilla.
And to be honest, I'm so sad. Not sad because we won, not sad because we're leaders, not sad because my team won probably their best match in all this season. I'm sad because I DIDN'T WATCH IT! Because I was on my way to my grandparents' house outside town! But that doesn't mean I wasn't desperate to know what the score was, and how was my team playing. And especially since Barcelona finished the game 2-2 against Almería. But thank God, Edgardo called me telling me what I wanted to hear: Real Madrid had won, and that's the most important thing in the end.
Real Madrid depended on themselves to become league leaders at the start of the match, but Sevilla didn't make things easy for them and wanted to dominate from the start. The visitors scored the opener in the first 10 minutes. The ball hit Xabi Alonso and subsequently ended at the back of Casillas' net (9').
Pellegrini's men gradually started to dominnate the match. But Sevilla scored a second goal after half-time: Dragutinovic (53'). Pellegrini made Van der Vaart and Guti come on for Arbeloa and Lass and things started to change. Cristiano Ronaldo scored Real Madrid's first goal (59’) and Ramos a few minutes later (63’).
Guti took over in midfield and orchestrated the Whites' bouts in attack. Higuain had several shots on target, but he hit the crossbar, the posts and one of the top corners of the goal. His persistence was incredible.
Sevilla fought back, but Cristiano, Raul and Higuain kept trying to score a winning goal. Close to the end, Van der Vaart ('92) put the ball in from the floor, giving Real Madrid an epic victory that makes them leaders of La Liga.
Real Madrid 3 - 2 Sevilla
