Tonight at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid met Sevilla in gameweek 26 of La Liga. The match was a difficult one for Real Madrid, as they faced a difficult opponent. As a result of their recent victory against Atletico Madrid by a score of 1-0, the visitors came into this match with a great deal of motivation.
As the captain of his home club, Sergio Ramos was more than anybody else hoping for a victory today. He was playing against the team with whom he had spent the most of his most famous years.
It is quite likely that the Spaniard would have been able to come back with a clean sheet and a performance worthy of being named man of the match tonight if it weren’t for a miraculous goal scored by Luka Modric in the 81st minute.
Ramos made an effort to convince the referee to overturn Modric’s goal as well, arguing that Antonio Rudiger was attempting to interfere with play from an offside position. On the other hand, the goal was upheld in the end, and Madrid was awarded all three points.
However, Modric did not allow that moment to interfere with his friendship with Ramos, as shown by the fact that the two of them switched jerseys at the end of the game.
“Ramos? ” His shirt is, in fact, this one. It’s my brother is he. Despite the fact that others typically assess us based on our age, his level is just exceptional. I was thrilled to meet him today, and I also had a conversation with him the day before. His feelings were really strong. According to Modric, who was commenting after the game (as reported by MadridXtra), “He is a legend.”
The Croatian player, on the other hand, did not start the game today. After seventy-five minutes of play, he was substituted for Nacho with the score still tied at 0-0. However, this has been the case for the most of the season, as he is the midfielder who has played the second-fewest minutes of any player on the club.
Despite this, Modric attempted to have a good attitude over the game that took place today by stating, “I am so happy that I was able to assist the team.” “It is just stunning.”
At this stage, Madrid is eight points ahead of Valencia at the top of the league. They will have a whole week free before playing Valencia in the Mestalla on March 2 before they face battle against Valencia.
