VIDEO. Luka Modric ruins Sergio Ramos’ return to Santiago Bernabeu with velvet ball touch, UFC champion kicks off

Real Madrid won 1-0 against Sevilla on matchday 26 in La Liga on Sunday evening. In their own Santiago Bernabeu, the Royal team was stuck at a 0-0 draw for eighty minutes, until Luka Modric produced yet another flash of class.

The Santiago Bernabeu stadium welcomed a surprise guest before the start of the match. New UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria kicked off.

The presence of the 27-year-old German did not immediately ensure a fiery match. Real may have been crying out for a penalty foul, but when the Frenchman Loïc Badé had Antonio Rüdiger in a stranglehold in the penalty area, just like in cage fighting, the Spanish referee Diaz de Mera did not give in.

The one who felt comfortable was Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian played football like a free bird, fooled with Oliver Torres and had already scored 1-0 for Lucas Vazquez in the tenth minute. With a measured pass, Vinicius put the entire Seville defense to the wind, after which Vazquez shot past Orjan Nyland in three times. However, the VAR disallowed the goal due to a mistake by Nacho Fernandez in a previous phase.

After the break, the Andalusians also showed that they could play football. During a lightning-fast counter, Lucas Ocampos reached Isaac Romero with a cross on the outside of the foot, who scored with a tap on goal. However, Andrey Lunin was on his toes and in the end managed to score a foot reflex.

The Royal looked for a goal throughout the game, but did not find one, partly due to appropriate interventions from ex-Real player Sergio Ramos. Until ten minutes before the end, when Luka Modric got the ball on the half moon. The experienced Croatian midfielder curled the ball wonderfully with a velvet touch into the far corner. 1-0: a lead that Los Blancos never gave away. Adnan Januzaj came on as a substitute for the visitors at the end, but he too could not turn the tide.

In the standings of the Spanish top division, Real now has an eight-point lead over first pursuer Barcelona. Season revelation Girona, which currently follows on nine points, will receive a visit from Madrid from Rayo Vallecano on Monday evening (9 p.m.). Sevilla is fifteenth, six points above the relegation zone.
