Real Madrid made a comeback to beat Sevilla 2-1 away in a La Liga matchday 37, although Carlo Ancelotti opted for an unusual starting line-up with five midfielders and no forward.
With the win Los Blancos collected 77 points in their asset and with a round to go they hold their fate in their hands, being the favorite for the second place.
The match started perfectly for the home team, who took the lead after only three minutes of play. After a mix-up in the Real penalty area, Rafa Mir hit the ball well and left no chance for Thibaut Courtois – 1:0. Real Madrid equalized in the 29th minute, Rodrigo taking a perfect free kick and leaving Yassin Bono helpless.
In the 69th minute, Toni Kroos passed to Rodrigo, who, with an incredible individual breakthrough, gained serious space, entered the home team’s penalty area and hit the ball perfectly to score for 1:2.
