Real Madrid vs Sevilla | Spanish Primera Division | Round 25 | Preview
Real Madrid haven’t lost a single league game at the Bernabeu this season. Defeating Sevilla tonight (22:00 CET) would also give the Whites their seventh consecutive victory in La Liga just four days before their home Champions League clash with Olympique Lyonnais.
Guti and Arbeloa are no longer respectively injured and suspended and will be able to face Sevilla tonight. On the other hand, Benzema, Drenthe and Pepe still have to recover and will miss the game.

MIDFIELDERS: Diarra, Gago, Lass, Xabi Alonso, Granero, Kaka, Guti, Van der Vaart.

They haven’t drawn any of their away games so far, winning 6 and losing 5. They are only three points behind Valencia, who are currently third on the table.

Lets get ready to rumble!
I… SHOULD… NOT… BE… NERVOUS…
…I am not sure about the players, but I am nervous. It is a must win game tonight which will be followed by yet another must win game. And that is just making my fears worst. It could be the best week ever or the worst one ever. A bit of both could also happen…
I… MUST… HOPE.. FOR… THE.. … …BEST…

A neat 6-0 win in the finals would just be the icing on the cake. By then we’ll be the kings of …
I… MUST… FOCUS… ON… SEVILLA… NOT… LYON…
