Ivan Rakitic upset Sevilla failed to win over Real Madrid
2022-04-19 15:13SEVILLA -- Sevilla captain Ivan Rakitic was furious with the 2-3 defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish La Liga match, at the Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, Monday (18/4/2022) early morning WIB. Rakitic who scored Sevilla's opener was disappointed as his team failed to maintain a 2-0 lead in the first half.
Rakitic's 21st-minute free-kick put Sevilla 1-0 up before Eric Lamela doubled the lead four minutes later and held on until the break. But Madrid was able to comeback in the second half through goals from Rodrygo, Nacho Fernandes, and Karim Benzema.
“I was angry, upset and sad. We had a great first half, but you can't leave Madrid an inch because that will punish you," Rakitic said after the match, reported by Mundo Deportivo .
The former Barcelona player claimed Sevilla controlled the game quite well in the first half. Even at 2-1, he thought Sevilla had some good counter-attacks. It's just that Sevilla could not finish it with a goal so Madrid turned to punish with a goal in return.
"They took a step forward, that's normal and we have to go after the third goal. If not, this is happening to you. Against great things that are impossible to happen, we have to know it," explained Rakitic.
This defeat makes Sevilla have to compete closely to get a ticket to the Champions League next season. Currently Sevilla are in third place in the standings and have the same points, 60 points, with the second and fourth ranked teams, namely Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. But Real Betis and Real Sociedad also still have a chance of finishing in the top four.
Therefore, Rakitic insists defeat is never good for any team. He wants Sevilla to rise and win games in the remaining matches of the season.
