Luka Modric scored a stunning winning goal in the closing stages against Sevilla, turning a few years back and putting Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with an eight-point difference.
Real looked headed for a goalless draw with England midfielder Jude Bellingham absent for the third consecutive game.
However, Croatian national team midfielder Modric (38 years old) scored a goal seven minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Lucas Vazquez had previously had his goal for the hosts ruled out.
After a lengthy Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review, it was concluded that home defender Nacho had fouled forward Youssef En-Nesyri in the build-up, and the Real full-back's shot was ruled out. Ta.
Federico Valverde also came close to Carlo Ancelotti's side and hit the post early in the second half, but Sevilla's defense, well directed by former Real great Sergio Ramos, was mainly solid. .
Second-placed Barcelona are in third place with 57 points, while Girona are one point behind in third place and will face Rayo Vallecano for the top two spots on Monday (8pm Japan time).
