The race continues - Real Madrid vs Sevilla

Real Madrid, who have failed to achieve their goals in La Liga and the Champions League for the past two seasons, have started the Champions League campaign with two wins from two, but sit fourth in La Liga after eight matchdays. Having lost away to Real Betis and Atlético Madrid, and having narrowly beaten Villarreal 1-0 last week, Mourinho's side face another tough match this week. Having secured three points with a 4-3 victory away at Roma on Wednesday evening - despite trailing 3-1 going into the 83rd minute - the white-and-purples are hoping to carry this momentum into their match against Sevilla without any trouble. You can watch this exciting match in a lively atmosphere at the Bernabéu on Sunday night.

They struggle in big matches

Although they have at times fallen far short of expectations in previous seasons and found themselves in the lower reaches of the table, Sevilla have made a good start to this campaign. With 14 points from eight matches, the red-and-whites sit fifth, just behind Real Madrid, but have failed to secure the results they'd hoped for against the big teams. Having suffered both of their defeats this season at home against Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, Luis García's side will have lost to all three of La Liga's natural favourites before the first 10 matchdays are even over if they fail to pick up any points on Sunday evening. Football fans everywhere are eagerly awaiting to see what Sevilla will do on this challenging evening as they look to put an end to this poor run with a surprise point or victory.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla tickets

In the 10 league matches played between the two sides over the last five seasons, Sevilla have suffered nine defeats and managed just one draw against Real Madrid; their last victory over the white-and-purples came in September 2018 with a 3-0 scoreline. As for their last victory at the Bernabéu, we have to go back to December 2008. Leading 3-1 at half-time, the red-and-whites went on to win 4-3 thanks to Renato's goal in the 84th minute; they will be in the capital on Sunday evening aiming for a similar historic victory. Garcia's side will look to secure a surprise victory against an opponent struggling with absences, and, buoyed by the advantage of having completed their fixtures against the league's strongest teams, will continue their pursuit of the top spot whilst securing their place in the Champions League race. For Sevilla, who have finished the last four seasons in 12th, 14th, 17th and 13th places respectively and have been absent from European competitions for three seasons, returning to these levels signifies a glimmer of hope for a return to former glory.
