HALF TIME THOUGHTS
Real Madrid started brightly, but they struggled to create any golden opportunities.
Sevilla have been poor and need inspiration – it’s never a good sign when your best player is the goalkeeper.
While Bono made an error early, his incredible save is what seperates the two sides.

HALF TIME Sevilla 0-0 Real Madrid
Munir goes down with what looks like a muscle injury, and that closes a rather dull first half.
Real Madrid look dangerous on the break, but the score is level as we head into half time.

Sevilla 0-0 Real Madrid
42 mins: A Sevilla free kick in a dangerous position comes to nothing as Courtois collects.
Bono’s save a few moments ago has been the highlight of the game thus far.

GREAT SAVE Sevilla 0-0 Real Madrid
38 mins: Some incredible play from Madrid opens up Sevilla, and Vincius lays it off to Benzema, who shoots low and it is excellently saved by Bono, tipping it around the post.
That will give the goalkeeper confidence, and he saves from Varane from the resulting corner.
