Carvajal’s memorable late goal meant Sevilla, who have won the Europa League for the last three years, suffered a hat-trick of Super Cup defeats.

“Sergio Ramos is the first to never give up and he is always there in important moments”. There were no special instructions for him.
Along with Sergio Ramos, one of the main players of the game was Dani Carvajal. He’s grown as a player, too.
“Until the final whistle goes you need to continue fighting because by fighting to the end you get your rewards”.
“We fought to the end against a great side”, said Sevilla defender Nico Pareja.
While the audiences were demonstrated with a play set in balance between Madrid and Sevilla in the first half of the game, it is the Europa League champion that was seen to have more possession albeit slightly in the overall play. That’s why I think Real will win today, Sevilla is still very much a work in progress while Real Madrid have already beat Chelsea and Bayern Munchen this summer.
However, Sevilla will be pleased that Real could be without numerous stars for the Super Cup encounter, with Cristiano Ronaldo definitely missing out, while Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema and Pepe could also be absent, per Goal’s Ben Hayward. Marcelo also acts nearly as an extra midfielder sending attractive crosses into the box and he did today in placing the ball right onto the head of the diving Sergio Ramos in extra time who headed the ball into the bottom corner but, the goal was waved off as Ramos was called for a foul before the ball reached him.
We have a good squad.
“We will give our all with the players we have”.
Casilla revealed that Zidane has made it clear he expects more success from Madrid’s players in the new campaign. “We did not let them have the ball but in a small detail we lost a game that we had under control”.
But captain Sergio Ramos levelled for Madrid in the third minute of stoppage time and Sevilla defender Timothee Kolodziejczak was sent off at the start of extra time, before Carvajal went on a run from the halfway line to score the victor in the 119th minute.

“When you win in the last moment, you suffer a lot in the meantime”. They had been Super Cup winners in 2006 by beating powerhouse Barcelona 3-0, but their other three appearances had ended in losses.
