Real Madrid, beset by scandals, will face Sevilla, a team battling for survival, in the 37th round of La Liga. The two teams are in drastically different mental states. For Real Madrid, the season is effectively over in their quest for the top spot, as Barcelona has already secured the title, leaving "Los Blancos" in second place with 80 points and no trophies. Sevilla, however, has a lot at stake. The Andalusian side occupies the 12th position with 43 points, just 4 points away from the relegation zone. They still have a theoretical chance to move into the fight for the 7th place, which grants access to European competitions, currently held by Huesca with 48 points.

Real Madrid arrives in Sevilla reeling from a series of recent scandals. Tensions escalated with a physical altercation on the training ground between Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni, resulting in suspensions. President Florentino Pérez added fuel to the fire with a sharp press conference on May 13, where he attacked the media and announced new elections. It is clear that coach Álvaro Arbeloa has lost the dressing room's trust, and this match could be one of his last at the helm of "Los Blancos" as the club actively seeks his replacement.

Sevilla is in a good run under the guidance of Luis García Plaza. The team has recorded three consecutive league wins against Villarreal (3-2), Espanyol (2-1), and Real Sociedad (1-0). These results have helped the team distance itself from the relegation zone, despite earlier losses to Osasuna and Levante. The home advantage at the "Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán" stadium will be crucial for their ambitions to halt the Madrid giants.

Real Madrid has shown inconsistent form in recent matches, mixing victories with disappointing results. In their last five matches, the team coached by Álvaro Arbeloa has demonstrated a lack of stability that could play into Sevilla's hands.
