MADRID:


Having already fallen victim to one team revived by the arrival of a new coach, Real Madrid face another when Unai Emery’s Sevilla visit the Bernabeu in La Liga tomorrow.


Granada coach Lucas Alcaraz marked his debut with a shock 1-0 win over the misfiring champions last weekend, and it is Emery’s turn to try his luck. Third-placed Real trail leaders Barcelona by 16 points and Mourinho has already written off their chances of retaining their league crown. He has turned his focus instead to the King’s Cup and the Champions League which returns to the Bernabeu next Wednesday, when Manchester United visit for a last-16 first leg match.
