Ramos Returns to the Leader’s House

Real Madrid vs Sevilla: A Clash Amidst Controversy

The upcoming football match between Real Madrid, the current leader of LaLiga EA Sports, and Sevilla is not just any other match. Scheduled to take place in the iconic Santiago Bernabéu stadium this Sunday at 9:00 p.m./DAZN, the game is mired in controversy, thanks to some recent videos about Real Madrid TV referees.

Sevilla has recently filed a complaint with the Competition Committee against these videos, accusing Real Madrid TV of leading a “campaign of persecution and harassment” against the referee team. This complaint has added an unexpected element of tension to the match, but it’s unlikely to dampen the spectators’ enthusiasm, especially for welcoming back Sergio Ramos, a legend in the annals of Real Madrid’s history.

Although the match might have been somewhat overshadowed by the points gap between the two teams, it has gained renewed interest after Sevilla’s denouncement. The main referee for the match is Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos from Castilian-La Mancha, while the VAR is managed by the Asturian Pablo González Fuertes.

Despite the controversy brewing off the field, Carlo Ancelotti’s team has a golden opportunity to strengthen their leadership in the league. They currently have a five-point lead over FC Barcelona and a six-point lead over the ‘gironins’. However, they must recover their form after two recent draws against Rayo and Atlético de Madrid.

The team will be without several key players, including Thibaut Courtois, Éder Militao, David Alaba and Jude Bellingham. In addition, Joselu Mato has been injured, putting additional pressure on Brazilians Vinícius and Rodrygo Goes, who will form the attacking duo for this match.

However, the team is not without its strengths. Antonio Rüdiger is back in action, bolstering the defence alongside Nacho. The midfield looks strong with the likes of Lucas Vázquez, Ferland Mendy, Toni Kroos, Fede Valverde and Brahim Díaz.

It will be an emotional occasion for Sergio Ramos, who will be playing his record-setting match as a defender in LaLiga history. It will be his return to Santiago Bernabéu after four years, a place where he has won 22 titles and played 671 games.

Meanwhile, Sevilla seems to have regained its form under Quique Sánchez Flores. After flirting with relegation, they are now seven points clear and have shown promise in their recent matches. However, they have a tough task ahead as they haven’t beaten Real Madrid since 2018.

The team will be without several players due to injuries and suspensions. Despite these setbacks, they are looking to put up a strong fight against their formidable opponents.

Possible Team Line-ups

Real Madrid is expected to have Lunin; Lucas Vázquez, Rüdiger, Nacho, Mendy; Tchouaméni, Kroos, Valverde, Brahim; Vinícius and Rodrygo in their line-up.

Sevilla FC’s line-up is likely to include Nyland; Navas, Bade, Ramos, Kike Salas, Ocampos; Soumare, Horse, Oliver Towers; Isaac Rosemary and En-Nesyri.

The referee for the match will be Diaz de Mera Escuderos (C.Spanish-Manchego).

The match will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The match is scheduled to begin at 21.00/DAZN.
