Karim Benzema once again grabbed the headlines for Real Madrid as he hit the late winner against Sevilla on Sunday but it was a game packed full of controversy.
The 34-year-old is enjoying the best season of his life in goalscoring terms, and is one goal away from hitting 40 goals in all competitions for the first time. His tally includes hat-tricks in successive Champions League games, while he also scored the extra-time winner which took Real Madrid into the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Madrid’s victory in the Andalusian capital took them 15 points clear at the top of La Liga and they require just 10 points from their final six matches to clinch the league title. Yet despite Madrid remarkably coming from two goals down at the break to win late on, it was a game which had its fair share of contentious officiating decisions.
