The win means Real leapfrog Sevilla, just two points behind leaders Barcelona who are on 65 points.

A spectacular Enzo Maresca strike put Sevilla in front but second-half goals from Ruud Van Nistelrooy (2) and Robinho gave Real the win. Chevanton grabbed a late consolation with a spectacular free-kick.
