#3 Dani Ceballos fails to impress

Sevilla v Real Madrid - La Liga
Ceballos could not make the most of a rare opportunity

The former Real Betis midfielder has had a tough start to his Real Madrid career. He has been used sparingly by Zinedine Zidane this season with the manager trusting the likes of Kovacic and Llorente ahead of him. This has led to the rumours of Ceballos leaving Madrid this summer.

Against Sevilla, Ceballos was given a surprise start which can also be termed as his last chance to impress the Real Madrid management. He displayed some neat touches and some crisp passes but was nowhere at his influencing best.

The lack of playing time and Sevilla's physical midfield made it tough for Ceballos who was taken off in the 70th minute. He did not react well to the substitution and took his place on the bench rather angrily. His below-par performance against Sevilla might have all but confirmed his departure from the club this summer.
