I would obviously love for Sevilla and Sampaoli to cause one of the biggest upsets this season in the league (we all would and I have a weak spot for both as well) but looking at the ground realities it will be next to impossible. Sevilla have nothing to play for as they are practically guaranteed a 4th spot, they have had a rather unconvincing second half of the season to put it mildly, many of the players have gone on holiday mentally already, sadly Sampaoli does not have the added incentive of winning seeing that he won't replace Lucho, Sevilla have not won at the Bernabéu in ages, RM have everything to play for and they are highly motivated and mentally on the top after the recent positive results and they have no important absences other than Bale (who is actually a burden for RM most of the time) either.
Of course we are talking about football and everything can theoretically happen but I have been at peace knowing that we won't likely win the league since the loss at Riazor where we basically lost the league. Repeating that disgraceful performance against Málaga was the last strew that broke the camel's back.
Anyway I cannot describe how epic it would be to see Sevilla actually managing to win. The reaction of Cristóbal Soria alone would be worth it and seeing Roncero's likely mental breakdown shortly afterwards. Provided that we don't screw it up against Las Palmas or Eibar at home in the last round.
Not getting my hopes up though and I have zero confidence in Celta and even less so Málaga being able to perform a miracle.
