Ronaldo faded, Real received its first defeat this season 0
Ronaldo has only had eight goals in Liga this season, three fewer than Neymar.
Goals: Immobile 36′, Banega 61′, Llorente 74′ – Ramos 22′, James Rodriguez 90′
After scoring an early opening goal, Real’s performance suddenly deteriorated in the face of Sevilla’s strong attack.
The 2-3 defeat to Sevilla was Real’s first loss this season in all competitions.
Sevilla 3-2 Real Madrid
Real could actually have avoided their first defeat if it hadn’t been for an early opener.
Real could also have won if Ronaldo took more chances.
Besides the two delicious situations, Ronaldo also lacked coordination with his teammates.
Ciro Immobile scored an important equalizer for Sevilla.
While the attack was lackluster and the defense lost a key midfielder, Real paid a heavy price.
One of Real’s other decisive weaknesses in this match is the lack of number one goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
Meanwhile, the return of Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez did not help Real much other than a long shot shortening the score to 2-3.
Bale is not playing as well as he did at the beginning of the season.
Loss to Sevilla could put great pressure on Real when they meet Barca in the next round.
