This is going to be interesting.

Latest News:
Benzema and Bale are available. Bale may start *sigh*, but Benzema for precautionary measures might not play.

Notable Absentees:
Modric: Injured.

Probable Lineup:
Casillas, Carvajal, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo, Ramos, Kroos, James, Bale, Ronaldo, Chicha.

I think La Liga is already lost with Atletico securing the third spot but we should still try to win this game.

That's what I wanted to point out but I was afraid I might be misunderstood. I, too, think the league is already lost and, therefore, we shouldn't drain our players for nothing.

I want us to go for it.

You never know. Moyes might surprise us or Cordoba who are fighting to stay up. Like Izzy I say fight till the end.

Re Bale....... fml

Think Sevilla are unbeaten at home for over a year or something.

Can see this end in a draw.

Ancelotti on Ramos:

"There are defenders with extraordinary technical qualities, others who are very focused and have great defensive ability, Cannavaro was fantastic at marking. There are others with personality and the ability to lead the defensive line like Baresi. Ramos is the most complete; he has a bit of everything".

I am officially done

he said "a bit" of everything, not "a lot"

Oh boy............... this is scary stuff.

I'm probably going to paralyze some of you permanently after saying this, but I've always rated Ramos very highly. Not as high as Carlo obviously. But I do think he's a leader, and his presence alone gives the team even more confidence.

I personally believe Pepe to be the best CB in the world, followed by Varane. Ramos' only problem is his hotheadedness. He can go God Mode for 10 games straight and then screws everything up in the eleventh.

I wouldn't mention him in the same breath as Baresi though. But I genuinely believe he's one of the best out there and we're very lucky to have him.

Of course this is more down to the CB position going downhill in terms of standards in the last decade than him being very good.

Silva, when he finally recovered from his WC trauma, was clearly the best for me. It's not a coincidence that PSG played Barca even when he played and the defense suddenly looked like a pub team when he only played 5 mins of the last two games... he's that good when he's right.

After that, you have a group of guys who are close to the same level right now... namely Pepe, Ramos, Varane, Pique (on current form), Koscielny, Hummels, Terry and Chiellini. Only Varane has a lot of upside and can separate himself. The other guys are who they are.

personally, i don't want to see this Real Madrid without Ramos. He is the heart of the team in my opinion

lmao why? ramos cost the team more than he helped lets be real

everybody coming out of their closet. ok.

im ramos fans as well, but i dont like him playing as cb. probably not creative enough to be midfielder, but somehow he done well there.

still would like to see him as rb again. dont care what u say, cant cross etc. he was 1 of the best there along with alves back then.

Confirmed lineup:
Casillas, Carvajal, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo, Kroos, Ramos, James, Isco, Cristiano, Chicharito

Just as I thought Ramos in midfield. However no Bale

Hope we lead 3-0 so that Carlo finally understands that we are better off without him

Carlo doesn't want to take any risks with Bale

Ramos does what he does best. Fck things up for us

Ramos

Chill guys, CR's got this

Pepe was worse than Ramos imo. Saved by Varane many times.

The commentator I'm listening to is sooo anti-Madrid. It's crazy and ridiculously funny. When we went 1-0 up and then 2-0, he was so quiet and visibly angry. When Sevilla got a penalty, he started screaming his lungs out. When they scored, he was two seconds away from passing out.

Professionalism, bro, do you speak it?

that game kept me at the edge of my seat, always tough to play sevilla away, those guys don't quit.

Man this game just felt like one of those games...
Big props to CR. Carried us through this game.
Bale was surprisingly good once he came on, may be the down time did him good.

Carlo never play Illara again. Anyone see him put the ball back into play during that massive scramble? Seriously. What. The. F.
Why was Lucas Silva bought again?

Watching Ramos at this point just makes me angry.

Watching Marcelo and Ramos gave me cancer.
