Quotes
"It was a very competitive and difficult match. We started well. We came close to scoring in the first half. We scored two goals that were disallowed," Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said after their draw with Sevilla.
"The second half was more even and competitive because we lowered our energy and had more difficulties. It's not bad. Obviously we always try to win, but a point at a ground like this and against a team this difficult is good.
"We kept going. We didn't give up when they scored and we equalised early on. The first half was good and there were chances to take the lead."

Barcelona emerged as 2-1 winners over Madrid in their last meeting in La Liga and the game took place at the Sportify Camp Nou on 19 March 2023.
Barca have won two of their last three league games against the Whites who won the other match.
