Real Madrid have bounced back after falling behind in their penultimate league game of the 2022/23 La Liga season.
Los Blancos’ campaign is effectively already over, with their title defence ended by El Clasico foes Barcelona, and a spot in the top four confirmed.
However, despite a firm pre-match message from Carlo Ancelotti, their trip to Sevilla started disastrously, as Spain star Rafa Mir fired the home side in front after just two minutes.
What a start for Sevilla! ⚪🔴

Los Blancos were stung into action by Mir’s early breakthrough, and Brazilian starlet Rodrygo Goes produced a brilliant free kick to equalise just before the half hour mark.

A draw tonight would keep Real Madrid two points in front of Atletico Madrid, in the race for second, but Los Rojiblancos can overtake them with a victory at home to Real Sociedad tomorrow.
If Real Madrid finish in third place next month it will be their lowest La Liga placing since 2019.
