Madrid loses Liga in Seville

The current league champion was very far from that team that in its last two appearances at the Nervión stadium won by two 2-6 and found himself unable to overcome a serious rival, well positioned and with a great waste that allowed him to capitalize on the early goal of the German Piotr Trochowski.

Despite the fact that only the fourth day was played, Portuguese José Mourinho's team appeared in Seville with the first emergencies of the season, Well, in his 'particular league’ with Barcelona he has been left behind and even more so when it was already known that Tito Vilanova's team had won at Getafe's field 1-4.

Shortly after the initial whistle the difference between Real Madrid fans and Barcelona fans was eight points, Well, before the second minute was up, Trochowski shot Íker Casillas' goal after taking a corner.

Sevilla came out with a very populated midfield, with two attack dogs like the Dutchman Hedwiges Maduro and the Chilean Gary Medel and two others who are somewhat more creative like Trochowski himself and the Croatian Iván Rakitic.

Those of coach José Miguel González ‘Míchel’ They trusted a lot in their second line to cover the evolution of the German Sami Khedira and Xabi Alonso and for them to connect with all the Madrid artillery.

The visiting team, in green in this match on the Seville field, He pushed to shake off the local pressure and gradually approached Andrés Palop's goal.

A free kick taken by the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, that the Valencian goalkeeper rejected, and two shots outside the Argentine Gonzalo Higuaín were the first attempts against a Sevilla that relied on the counterattack to give play to Álvaro Negredo and Jesús Navas on the right wing.

The quality of Real Madrid with the ball at their feet was evident, but the problem for Mourinho's men was also that they had little of the ball and on many occasions they played it long while the match was approaching its half-time break and they could not find another solution in attack., With which the conclusion of the first half was reached with doubts in the game of the current League champions.

The Frenchman Karim Benzema came out in the restart for a missing German Mesut Özil and the Croatian Luka Modric for the Argentine Ángel Di María who had received his second yellow card at the end of the first period..

It was Modric who was very soon close to tying things up with a shot that Palop and the post team avoided., but it was the first warning from Real Madrid, with everything in attack, in his attempt to turn the score around.

Seville, worn out by the tremendous effort made, He gave everything he had to avoid being overwhelmed by a rival who had in the head of Sergio Ramos, in goal mouth, and in a shot by Higuaín other great opportunities.

The entry of José María Callejón for a defender like Álvaro Arbeola was the desperate resort of the Madridistas, who saw how the clock was ticking faster than desired for their interests and who began to dislike the clash until they finally lost it.
