"He snapped someone else's ankle with one kick."
"That's just too brutal!"
As the whistle blew to start the second half, fans were still discussing what happened in the first half, while the players on the pitch presented two completely different states.
Sevilla had clearly faced reality; their goal now was to maintain the score in the second half and strive to take a precious point at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Jimenez obviously lacked the courage for a last-ditch effort. In fact, the coach, who had just taken office recently, might have initially aimed to secure a draw, but who could have predicted that Real Madrid, being somewhat off-tempo due to news from Barcelona, would concede two consecutive goals?
Since they led by two goals at the start, aiming for a victory seemed normal!
