Iago Aspas and Jonny scored the goals for the away side, who
made it consecutive defeats for Los Blancos in all competitions, rubbing salt in the wounds of Zinedine Zidane's men.
"Sevilla did us damage," Casemiro admitted after the second defeat.
The defeat at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan has left the Real Madrid squad with a notable wound, and it was clear against Celta, there wasn't the feeling of an inevitable comeback when they were losing.
The Sevilla defeat hurt due to its nature, as Real Madrid had managed to control the game for the most part during the opening 86 minutes, until the Sergio Ramos own goal arrived. The passage of play that let to making it 2-1 then summed everything up: a throw-in from Dani Carvajal into a dangerous area, a poor touch from Karim Benzema, and then a mistake from Keylor Navas.
It is a defeat that has done damage to the mentality of the group, who had previously only managed to shine.
"We are closer than ever, now we are stronger than during our long run without a defeat," explained Marcelo post-match.
