The evening of March 20, at Madrid's Bernabéu Stadium.
In the thirtieth round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Sevilla.
This was one of the round's headline matches. It was also Real Madrid's first midweek break since the winter break, giving them a full seven days of rest. Yang Yang and Zidane had each scheduled two days off before and after the match.
Real Madrid had fully recharged and waited at the Bernabéu for Sevilla.
Just six minutes into the match, Hazard broke through on the left and sent in a cross. Unmarked, Yang Yang struck a volley from in front of the goal, sending the ball straight through Sevilla's net and giving Real Madrid the lead.
Ten minutes later, during a scramble from a corner kick, Yang Yang headed the ball back toward the left side of the goal. Hazard, who had slipped into position, easily headed it in, putting Real Madrid two goals ahead.
Real Madrid completely took control of the match afterward.
Six minutes after the teams switched ends in the second half, Modrić dribbled into the penalty area and sent a low cross across the box. Yang Yang swept the ball into the net from near the penalty spot, making it 3–0.
Six minutes later, Modrić played another through ball. Danilo sprinted forward on the right and crossed, and the unmarked Suarez swept the ball home from the edge of the six-yard box. 4–0!
Two minutes later, Yang Yang sent over a brilliant pass. Suarez tried to chip the empty net but failed to put enough power behind it, and the ball rolled toward the right. Di Maria followed up and easily tapped it into the empty goal. 5–0!
In the eighty-sixth minute, substitute Jesé broke through on the left side of the penalty area and
