Liga: Real Madrid beat Sevilla thanks to Luka Modric and extend their lead at the top
Real Madrid defeated Sevilla FC (1-0) this Sunday, February 25th, in La Liga. Luka Modric was the only goal scorer of the match. Thanks to this victory, the Madridistas strengthened their position as leaders of La Liga.
Eternal Luka Modric! The 38-year-old Croatian midfielder, who has been relegated to the bench this season, allowed Real Madrid to secure a (1-0) home victory this Sunday, February 25th, against Sergio Ramos’ Sevilla FC with a gem of a goal with his right foot, just minutes after coming on as a substitute.
The Ballon d’Or 2018 winner freed the Santiago Bernabéu with a perfectly curled shot from outside the box, reminiscent of his best years wearing the Merengue jersey (81′, 1-0), while Carlo Ancelotti’s men struggled to make the difference despite several clear-cut chances.
Still at the top of the table, Real Madrid (1st, 65 points) holds an eight-point lead over FC Barcelona (2nd, 57 points) and nine over Girona (3rd, 56 points), although Girona could make up some ground by winning at home against Rayo Vallecano on Monday (9 p.m.) to conclude this 26th matchday.
