Thibaut Courtois and his teammates came to win on the lawn of Sevilla FC 2-3. The inevitable Karim Benzema snatched the three points in added time (90th + 2).
After this 23rd success, Real now has 75 points, fifteen more than FC Barcelona (who played two games less). Seville, third; also has 60 points just like Atlético Madrid, fourth. Monday evening, Barça hosts Cadiz.
Rakitic (21st) and Lamela (25th) had however placed the Sevillians on velvet at the break by deceiving the goalkeeper of the Red Devils.
Upon returning from the locker room, the newcomer Rodrygo revived the people of Madrid (50th) well served by Carvajal. If the goal of Vinicius (76th) was disallowed for a handball, that of Nacho (82nd), who entered the game a minute earlier, on a new assist from Carvajal, put the two teams equal. Ten minutes later, Rodrygo gave the decisive assist to Benzema who scored his 25th La Liga goal of the season. Not the least important.
There are six championship days left. It would take a catastrophic end to the season to deprive Real of a 35th national title.
