Real leaps infront of sevilla

What a match that was. WOW.
A clash between the second and third placed team in la liga, at the end of which the teams swapped their spots in the table. Yes,Real Madrid beat sevilla 3-2 and are now two points behind Barca

It was a wonderful sight to see the Madrid players giving everything to pick up three points from the game.Both the teams played a waiting game in the first half, careful not to concede. But Sevilla eventually scored a deserved goal from a wonderful strike.Capello then changed his tactics a little bit(or should I say totally) making substitutions to enable some attacking football to be played by madrid. Guti came in, sent in a couple of wonderful defence splitting passes, at the end of which Ruud and Robinho scored a couple of important goals.It was really one of the best matches I have seen this season in la liga.

Check out the highlights here.Amazing vision from Guti for the 1st and 2nd goals.


There was more drama, Robinho got sent off for a second yellow that was shown for his wild(!!!) celebrations. Becks got booked and would have to sit out the match against Espanyol.Also Luis Fabiano who was warming up in the sidelines got sent off before even getting on to the pitch, for abusing the linesman.Poor chap.

Sevilla looked really tired in the last quarter of the game and couldn't capitalise much.But they got a very important second goal.In all, Madrid with their excellent performance has given themselves a chance to take the title fight till the end.
