00:00...he's being rested, maybe a fear of more muscular injuries like what we've seen in the past, so instead Real Madrid will go with Monata, Asensio and James up top to Madrid.
00:12Let's toss it to the commentators, Dante McMath and Simon Hanley.
00:18He's made a lot of changes, let's quickly run through the line-up.
00:22Chico Casilla, the goalkeeper chosen by Zidane for the Copa del Rey this season, at the back Marcelo, Nacho, Varane and Carvajal, no Sergio Ramos, no Pepe.
00:34In midfield, Casemiro, Modric and Cruz, and playing up front, Alvaro Morata, Asensio and James Rodriguez, and that means, of course, no good luck, and of course, the fans and the players will be thinking about the treble.
00:51Well, to achieve that treble, the first obstacle to overcome, Sergio Rico in goal for Sevilla, the back four, Mariano, Gabriel Mercado, Adil Rami and Escudero, playing in the holding positions in front of the back four.
01:07For Vicente Borra and Steven Nzonzi, Sami Nasri, Ganso and Vitolo will be playing behind the Argentine striker, Carlos Joaquin Correa.
01:21You know, it was nearly an even more magnificent start right at the very beginning of his Real Madrid career, because his Sevilla career, because don't forget he faced Real Madrid in the Supercopa, the Supercopa, which they won, of course, beating Kashima Antlis 4-2 in the final.
01:38That's a good ball in to Correa by Escudero. I think it may have taken the deflection off Nacho.
01:45The attack petering out on that occasion. Rami square to Mercado. They've gifted it, though.
01:52And what a fantastic finish from the man of the moment, James Rodriguez.
02:00Well, there's certainly not too many left foots or left feet in the game like this one.
02:07Wonderful strike from James Rodriguez, and you just can't afford to give the ball away there.
02:11It wasn't the best pass out, I think, from half, which they haven't been barely so far.
02:16Then they could well cause problems for this Real Madrid defence.
02:19Modric spraying it wide to Carvajal.
02:22The chip, it looked like it could have been a possible handball there from Vitolo.
02:26And in the end, it's Modric.
02:28Consummate ease with which he took that one away from Vitolo.
02:31Lovely ball over the top for Luka Modric.
02:35He's supported by James.
02:37Little back healer to the Colombian.
02:39In comes the cross. Marcelo arriving.
02:42He struck the volley.
02:43Replayed and replayed.
02:44Well, Madrid earn a corner from it.
02:48Their second of the evening, Toni Kroos, to take it.
02:50It's an in-swinger this time.
02:52And it's in the back of the net.
02:54Rafael Varane unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box.
02:59Most impressive Real Madrid performances we've seen this season.
03:03I quite agree.
03:03One of the most impressive Real Madrid performances
03:05against one of the most impressive sides in London.
03:08He deserved this 2-0 lead.
03:10But Sevilla are playing terribly.
03:12And they're really struggling here.
03:14It's fallen to Toni Kroos.
03:17Here's Morata.
03:18A lovely turn.
03:19Still Morata.
03:21Can he go all the way?
03:22In the end, the shot was lacking power.
03:24Real Madrid team hasn't really had to do anything.
03:28Just let the players go out there.
03:30An opportunity here.
03:31All the way through Correa.
03:33And somehow...
03:34Summing the ball back quickly, though.
03:39This is Nasri.
03:41The flag stays down.
03:42An opportunity for Vitolo.
03:44And on the one hand, it's brilliantly saved.
03:49Asensio.
03:50Asensio's cross to the far post.
03:53Down goes Modric.
03:54And what's the ref given?
03:55Penalty to Real Madrid.
03:58Just over two minutes to go to the break.
04:01Blew his whistle and pointed to the spot.
04:03Let's see this one again.
04:04It's a clear shove, I think, from Mariano there.
04:09Let's see if we can see it better here.
04:11I'm not sure if Mariano isn't...
04:13Make it three.
04:16And no mistake.
04:18Nothing Sergio Rico could do about that one.
04:21Real Madrid goes 3-0 up.
04:24Ham is...
04:24Like Mariano was shoved into the Real Madrid.
04:29Didn't do that.
04:30Let's see the response from Sevilla.
04:34Well, that's better.
04:35Just dragged wide from...
04:37Some kind of response over the next...
04:4040 minutes or so.
04:42Here's Marcelo.
04:44Got some power behind it.
04:45But he was leaning back.
04:46Extended their lead.
04:48As Nasri takes this corner.
04:50It's Morata helping out.
04:52And finally the shot from Escudero.
04:54Not too far away.
04:56The advantage always to Kiko Garcia.
04:58Now it's Madrid on the break.
05:00Casemiro.
05:00What a brilliant ball through.
05:02Danilo with a chance to make it four.
05:05Didn't quite strike it.
05:07For a side on that kind of run to lose three or...
05:10Or four-nil.
05:11Almost impossible.
05:13Modric.
05:14Just a little bit confused as to his plans there.
05:18Isco.
05:19But it doesn't matter because the final whistle has gone.
