Real Madrid will be crowned Spanish champions sooner or later, and no one will be able to stop them.
No other team in Spain has the same ability to come back from a deficit.
No team ever knows when it will be beaten in the same way twice
They were 2-0 down at halftime against Sevilla and looked drowsy after another demanding week in the Champions League, but they came back with three second-half goals and are currently 15 points ahead of Barcelona, despite having played two games more.
Karim Benzema scored the game's winning goal two minutes into injury time.
He initiated the move by feeding Vinicius, who then passed it to Rodrygo Goes, who came on as a substitute.
He sped passed Ludwig Augustinsson and brought the car back to Benzema.
The Frenchman, who now has 25 league goals, his greatest score ever, always seems to have more time in the six-yard box than anybody else, and he calmly buried it past Bono to give his team the win.
Key officiating decisions will be a source of contention for both clubs.
In the first half, Eduardo Camavinga might have been sent off.
In the second, Vinicius appeared to have a perfectly decent goal ruled out.
However, the decision was fair, and Madrid's title will be fair when they ultimately claim it.
Due to injury and suspension, Sevilla had a significantly stronger first half than Madrid, who were missing left back Ferland Mendy and holding midfielder Casemiro.
Dani Carvajal, a right-footed defender, was at left back, and Toni Kroos was in the midfield.
Carlo Ancelotti's team were slower to everything, and it couldn't be put on a Champions League hangover because Eder Militao, who didn't play against Chelsea, was the guy who struggled the most.
As Ivan Rakitic fired, Luka Modric took down Tecatito on the edge of the area, and Militao inexplicably went out of the wall.
He scored a 1-0 goal by shooting through the space and into the corner.
That was at 21 minutes, and it was two minutes later.
Militao was beaten into the area this time by Tecatito, and as Thibaut Courtois rushed out to save at his feet, the rebound went to Erik Lamela, who scored into an empty net.
Camavinga had already been booked when he brought down Anthony Martial, who was sprinting towards the Madrid goal. It could have been much worse for Madrid.
The second caution should have been given, but referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez never awarded a free kick.
Following the incident, Martial was hurt and had to be replaced by Rafa Mir.
Just before the break, Madrid had a strong spell, with David Alaba hitting Benzema with a brilliant pass.
Bono made a great stop from the Frenchman who was offside at the time of the shot.
Sevilla had dominated despite the scare and a probable handball when Diego Carlos leaped with his own goalkeeper and the ball slid from Bono's hands onto his arm.
Madrid almost equalized two minutes into the second half when Modric freed Benzema, but Bono saved.
They had scored four minutes after the restart.
Carvajal exchanged passes with Vinicius down the left flank, and when he crossed, Rodrygo, who had come on at half-time, scored first time past Bono.
Militao then came close to tying the game with a powerful long-range attempt that Bono turned over.
It was a completely different game now.
When Modric flicked on Lucas Vazquez' cross on 75 minutes, Vinicius controlled the ball with his chest and hammered it past Bono, the comeback looked complete.
The goal was disallowed due to a handball.
Cuadra Fernandez moved across to the pitchside monitor after Vinicius complained that the ball had hit his chest.
On replays, it appeared to be chest, but the referee stuck to his original call.
Madrid, on the other hand, would not be denied.
Nacho, who had come on for Lucas, finished through a crowd of players in the six-yard box past Bono to draw the match level.
Most teams would have taken it easy now that they had earned a point on the road against the odds.
