In a pivotal clash at the summit of La Liga, Luka Modric emerged as the hero for Real Madrid, delivering a breathtaking long-range strike to secure a hard-fought 1-0 victory over a resilient Sevilla side.
The match appeared destined for a stalemate until Modric’s introduction from the bench injected a surge of energy into Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. With time dwindling, Modric seized the moment with a moment of brilliance, unleashing an unstoppable shot from outside the box that nestled into the net, sending the Santiago Bernabéu into raptures and propelling Los Blancos to a crucial victory.
Real Madrid’s quest for an early lead was initially thwarted by VAR, which ruled out Lucas Vazquez’s close-range finish due to a foul committed by Nacho in the build-up. Undeterred, Madrid continued to press forward, with Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde both coming agonizingly close to breaking the deadlock in the first half.
Despite Sevilla’s resilience, Real Madrid persisted in their pursuit of a breakthrough, with Valverde striking the post and Vinicius Jr narrowly missing the target after the interval. However, it was Modric who ultimately made the decisive impact, capitalizing on a defensive lapse to deliver a moment of magic and secure all three points for his side.
While Sevilla contested the validity of the goal, citing a potential offside infringement by Antonio Rudiger, the referee dismissed their appeals, allowing Modric’s strike to stand and handing Real Madrid a vital victory in their title aspirations.
