It looked all dead and buried, but Zinedine Zidane's side do not know the meaning of a loss. They salvage a late draw courtesy Benzema and Ramos, to break Barcelona's record of 39 games unbeaten in all competitions. Amazing!
90+3' THEY'VE DONE IT! Karim Benzema dances past three challenges on the edge of the box, before slamming the ball into the bottom corner. Sevilla 3-3 Real Madrid (Agg 3-6)
82' Casemiro, of all people, charges up the pitch and runs onto a return pass in the box. He is shoved to the floor by Kranevitter and the referee blows for a penalty. Ramos to take
77' Nasri finds Ben-Yedder onside on the right side of the box, and plays him through with a deft ball. Ben-Yedder then pings in a low cross, which Casilla gets down to block, but he palms the ball to Iborra in the box, who outmuscles Nacho to poke the ball home and bring Sevilla back into the tie on aggregate! Sevilla 3-1 Real Madrid (Agg 3-4)
75' Another save by Casilla as Sevilla ramp up the pressure! Nasri and Ben Yedder work the ball well down the left, with Casilla diverting a shot on goal away. This was moments after Sevilla appealed for a penalty as Iborra and Ramos clashed in the box for a header.
Jovetic underlined Sevilla's superiority by flashing a header from a corner narrowly wide.
73' Kroos' free kick from the right is comfortably cleared. The set-piece delivery tonight has been downright awful, which is surprising given the quality on the pitch.
71' CHANCE! Vitolo powers his way through from the left and lays the ball off to Nasri, with Jovetic in space to his left. He selfishly opts to shoot (nothing new there), and his effort is blocked. The ball falls to Escudero, who rifles a low drive narrowly wide of the far post!
70' NEARLY AN OWN GOAL! Danilo sends in a low cross from the right wing, and with Morata lurking in the box, Rami is forced to clear the ball out, but nearly diverts the ball into his own net.
68' GREAT SAVE SORIA! Sevilla clear a cross from the right out to Kroos on the edge of the box, and he powers a vicious, low, bouncing shot headed for the bottom corner, but Soria gets down well to palm the ball away at full stretch.
67' WHAT A CHANCE! Morata does well to collect a low cross, and work half a yard of space. He sends a curling effort narrowly over the bar, with Soria well beaten.
65' WHAT A CHANCE! Sarabia sends in a stunning cross from the left wing, and with the goal at his mercy Ben-Yedder opts to glance a downward header narrowly wide of the post!
62' Escudero whips in another superb cross from the left wing, and Iborra challenges Ramos for the header, but uses his elbow a bit dangerously and concedes a foul. He is booked for dissent, justifiably.
60' Great interplay from Kovacic and Vazquez as they lay the ball off to Kroos on the edge of the box, but he makes a mess of things and the chance goes a-begging.
54' WHAT A WAY TO OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT! Escudero sends in a peach of a cross to Jovetic unmarked at the far post, and the Montenegrin scores with a first-time volley into the bottom corner to give Sevilla the lead again! Sevilla 2-1 Real Madrid (Agg 2-4)
53' We've had one world class goal from Asensio. Alvaro Morata, though, is no shrinking violet and tries to score another worldie, taking aim from 35 yards out. All I can say is that - at least he tried.
51' Sevilla are definitely out of the tie right now, and it looks as much. Their heads have visibly dropped, while Real Madrid have their tails turned up, metaphorically, of course.
48' WHAT A WORLD CLASS GOAL! Marco Asensio collects the ball on the edge of his own box after Sevilla's corner and then sets off on a storming run, making a mug of Kranevitter and then holding off Vietto before slotting the ball through Soria's legs to draw Madrid level. Shades of Gareth Bale's memorable goal in the same competition! Sevilla 1-1 Real Madrid (Agg 1-4)
46' WHAT A CHANCE! Marcelo powers in a low cross from the left, with Morata flicking the ball to Mariano on the edge of the box, but he shoots over with the goal at his mercy!
Sevilla have been superb in the first half, and will be disappointed that they don't go into the break with a bigger lead. The tie is still there for Sevilla to come back, though Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane will be quite concerned. The second half is minutes away, stay tuned.
