Quotes
"We lacked effectiveness, finishing and the final ball. I think we did everything we had to do to win the game. It was a more difficult match than it seemed," Valencia manager Ruben Baraja said after his side's draw with Sevilla.
"Sevilla are a team who are waiting for you to make mistakes, they run counterattacks well and from set pieces, they are also a tough team. The feeling I have is that the team put everything into winning.
"We just lacked finishing. There are days when you shoot twice and score two goals, and others when you have more control, you attack well, but don't score. That is the difference."
Head-to-Head
Madrid hammered Valencia 5-1 in their last meeting in La Liga in a match that took place at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on 11 November 2023.
It was the Whites' second win in their last three league matches against the Bats who won the other game.
