La Liga: Sevilla bring Real back down to earth

Jesus Navas wheels away after scoring against Real.

Real Madrid suffered a shock 2-1 defeat by Sevilla in La Liga on Sunday as winger Jesus Navas and midfielder Renato stuck with headers in each half.

Navas leaped superbly to nod the home side in front in the 33rd minute and Real goalkeeper Iker Casillas produced two stunning saves to deny Renato and Diego Perotti before Pepe equalised just after halftime.

Renato made amends when he rose unmarked to glance in Adriano's cross in the 66th minute and inflict a first defeat of the season on Manuel Pellegrini's expensively assembled side.

Real were without world record signing Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored nine goals already this season but he had failed to recover from the ankle injury he suffered during the midweek Champions League win over Marseille.

The result meant Real, missing the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, trailed Barcelona by three points after six matches. Real and Sevilla both have 15 with Real ahead on goal difference.

This match even prove Ronaldo is god to Real.

He never play and Real loses.. I see Ronaldo always cut from flank of no way and create goal himself. When Kaka can only play second fiddle to Ronaldo.

First Real Madrid cracks? Casillas clashes with Guti

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas clashed with teammate Guti during their defeat at Sevilla on Sunday.

The video of the set-two is doing the rounds in the Spanish media, with Guti and Casillas furiously arguing during a 72nd minute corner.

"What are you doing? You're do nothing, you're marking nobody!" shouted Casillas.

Guti, gesturing, responded: "Look, there are four (Sevilla players) around me."

After some mean stares and more remonstrating, Guti turned to his keeper and blasted: "So, shut-up!!"
