For

Real Madrid

, every day is

Easter Sunday

.

In this month of April,

Carlo Ancelotti

's team has died and lived so many times that his season cannot be understood from any other emotion than pure

suffering

.

Tonight,

he gave and took life from a League

that doesn't seem to want to let go of their boots.

He triumphed (2-3) in one of the most complicated places of what remained of his league trip and took a giant leap to touch the title.

Trying to continue the happy inertia of the last results in the League and the

Champions

League ,

Carletto

insisted on the system of four midfielders, with

Valverde

leaning to the right and

Camavinga

in

Casemiro

's place .

The idea came out backwards and it lasted

45 minutes

, the time it took for Sevilla to give excitement to the championship.

After a dominating start in possession, Madrid began to make mistakes that were inappropriate for the current moment of the course.

Martial

warned first

, with a shot close to the post by

Courtois

, Ancelotti's team protested a

possible handball by

Diego Carlos

in a jump with

Bonus

... And it was

1-0.

The whites fell asleep when the ball came out,

Papu Gómez

arrived before

Modric

to touch the ball and the Croatian knocked down the Argentine from the edge of the box.

Opportunity for

Rakitic

, who took advantage of a strange movement by

Militao

in the barrier, put the ball between the defenders, surprised Courtois and unleashed delirium in a

Pizjuán

who wanted to be the protagonist.

With no time to atone for his sins,

Militao

failed again.

He did not close well an unchecking by

Corona

, he entered the area, went ahead of Courtois and gave in so that

Lamela

made it 2-0 almost to an empty goal.

Five minutes of Madrid torture in which there were many reproaches, with an argument between Militao and

Modric

as an example.

Rodrygo for Camavinga, the key

The shipwreck was personified in the body of

Camavinga

, who

could have been expelled

for a foul on Martial after a new mistake by Militao when trying to cut a counterattack.

Cuadra Fernández

did not signal a foul, which would have been the second yellow card for the Frenchman.

The play was the turning point that

Ancelotti

needed to realize the problems of his team.

An overcrowded midfield where there was hardly any space and the obvious need to find free meters.

Camavinga began to understand that he was going to stay in the locker room.

After intermission, Carletto pulled the same solution as the day at Chelsea:

Rodrygo Goes

.

And it didn't fail.

Four minutes into the second half, a good combination between

Vinicius and Carvajal

down the left ended with a low cross from the Spaniard that Rodrygo, with that instinct and those spaces that Ancelotti was asking for, pushed into the net.

The goal gave wings to a more comfortable Madrid back to its eternal drawing,

4-3-3,

and hurt a too accelerated and physically squeezed Sevilla.

Lopetegui noticed it, who turned his eleven around, retired

Acuña

and Papu Gómez and gave more steel to the squad with

Gudelj and Augustinsson

.

Madrid, meanwhile, smelled blood and found more and more holes, always on their right side, with the appearances of

Rodrygo

.

In one of those actions, the Brazilian squared an intelligent diagonal that ended in a heel for

Benzema

, whose shot left a few centimeters from Bono's goal.

Accelerating towards the final stretch of the match and with Madrid more focused,

anxious not to give life to the championship

,

Rafa Mir

had a header completely alone in the Courtois area to make it 3-1, but it went high just before the most controversial play of the night.

In the 74th minute,

Lucas Vázquez

launched a cross from the bottom right, Modric was unable to finish off and the ball ended up being controlled by

Vinicius

, who volleyed Bono's goal without opposition.

The Brazilian was angrily celebrating the tie when Cuadra Fernández annulled the goal by handball.

From the

VAR

, the referee's teammates told him to go see the play on the screen and there he went.

The referee insisted on a rigorous evaluation of him and the Madrid bench went crazy.

Once again a hand in a Madrid-Seville

match, like Militao's last year, could be key in the development of the championship.

Enraged,

Madrid wanted more

and Nacho did justice to the Whites' attempts during the second half, scoring after a pass from behind by Carvajal.

It was pure winning momentum.

Ancelotti's men smelled the opportunity to eliminate a direct rival and did not accept a draw, with

Rodrygo

appearing again to score the winning goal.

The Brazilian, after a

brilliant heel from Vinicius

, found the bottom line and waited long enough to see

Benzema

, who after a dramatic pause kept the league under Madrid's feet, fifteen points above Sevilla.
