Two clubs in the top half of the Spanish Liga table will do battle today in a league match between Sevilla and Real Madrid. The first-division clash scheduled for 5 p.m. ET will be held at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in Seville and can be live streamed here free.
After suffering a heartbreaking loss to Barcelona at the weekend—one their play didn't deserve to lose—manager Carlo Ancelotti is looking for his men to respond (h/t to Gulf News). "I have said to the players that, in general, they played well [against Barcelona]. They played with intensity and fought until the end," Ancelotti said. Now we need to forget this game and think about Wednesday, which could be the key game of the season," he added.
"I have said many times that nothing will be decided until the last game of the season."
"We need to fight and react well. We have a very important game on Wednesday and we need an immediate reaction. We believe a lot in this group as a team and we are working every day to be amongst the best."
"We have nine finals left ahead of us and, if we want to be on top, we need to win all of them."
