this was the work of Lamine Yamal, a young player who accidentally headed the ball towards Sergio Ramos and ended up with a goal in his own net and it was very funny to see Ramos reaction to seeing the ball go into his own net but I dont blame him because this was the fault of goalkeeper Orjan Nyland who did not move look at the ball towards him so that the ball is free to enter the goal. I almost gave up seeing that this match was very tight because Sevilla defense was really very strong and I was sure that Sevilla goal was to end the match with a draw to get 1 additional point but unfortunately this mistake occurred which really shocked us all.

I am sure Sergio Ramos will continue to speak harshly to himself after the match ends.

Watching Barcelona grab a other points and climb closer to Real Madrid on the table. Was it really extremely challenging for Barcelona to secure three points against Sevilla? Yes, considering Sevilla employed a defensive strategy against the blaugrana, making it really hard for them to score. It appeared to be an uncontested game for Xavi's side, but their relentless pressure on Sevilla broke the deadlock when Ramos had a deflection that led directly to the net, creating the difference on the scoresheet. Sergio Ramos impressed at Camp Nou against Barcelona.

Girona, the surprise and flash team of the season, go into week eight as leaders. Michel's team are unbeaten and won again at Villarreal after falling behind earlier in the week. They have made some very good additions to last season's good squad. For Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior could return to the starting eleven this time but i don't expect Alaba to play and Rüdiger is available but not fully fit. Real struggled in the Atletico Madrid derby, especially in defending air balls. Girona can take advantage of this with Dovbyk. I think Girona will score but Real Madrid can pull rabbits out of the hat in these games with their big team reflexes. I think the game will start with a fast start and there could be goals against each other.

Ramos has been playing in the same position for a long time and he is much more experienced, it might be normal if a junior player made such a mistake but he was once the best defender in the world and he has a lot of experience in defence. If the goal was scored by heading the opponent's ball, maybe there would not be so much discussion or criticism about this issue, but the goal was scored differently. You must have seen the last match, if you have seen last night's match then you yourself will be disappointed with Ramos's performance. Newbies can make mistakes but if a more experienced person makes a mistake in their position then it is normal to criticize it. And I believe this criticism of him will save him from making such mistakes in future matches.

I also think so, it is inappropriate to blame Ramos for the incident. Ramos was just unlucky. But even though he is old, Ramos is still quite direct in guarding the defense line. His return to the club during his junior years has also had a positive effect on Sevilla's development. Los Nervionenses started off at the start of the season and now their progress is starting to get better. So what happened last night is normal in football because it was just a disaster and was not planned.

Since being promoted to La Liga through the play-off round in 2022, Girona has emerged as a club that has provided a surprise this season, unexpectedly Girona managed to top the La Liga standings with a collection of 19 points from 7 matches. The toughness that Girona has shown in the last seven matches will be tested by one of the La Liga giants, with six wins and one draw, Girona is increasingly confident when competing against Real Madrid.
Their goal productivity is also quite good, Girona is recorded as one of the top scoring teams with 18 goals. Beating Real Madrid was a big motivation for Girona, the additional three points made them even safer at the top of the standings.

Quite ironic that it was Real Madrid legend Ramos who won the game for Barcelona via an own goal. You can’t really blame him though, it’s just one of those things in football, it happened so quickly and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Here’s the goal for anybody who didn’t see it - https://x.com/footbalbastards/status/1707880828175258055

That's a normal thing in football, especially for a defender who wants to anticipate the ball and I think you are blaming Romas too much, he didn't do the own goal well, everything that happened was by chance because he was running and no one expected it. The ball came to his feet and went into the goal.
You are exaggerating when you say that the team will leave him because of this mistake, Sevilla were just unlucky in this match even though they played quite well and it cannot be denied that both teams put in a good performance, only this time Barcelona was luckier.

Ramos is entirely responsible for Sevilla's defeat against Barcelona. How could he make such a mistake in the end? Such a mistake was never expected from a world-class defender like him. The way he scored his team's goals, it felt like he was a Sevilla player and not a Barcelona player. I don't understand how he got the ball back from the point where he was standing.  

Own goals are not unusual. We have seen many players score own goals before but in a different way.  

Ramos was standing slightly in front of the goal post, from where he was standing a defender would never pass the ball back because the empty goal post was right behind him but why did he pass the ball back.
He might be dropped from the team for the mistake he made.

The ambition and enthusiasm of the Girona players and their supporters is definitely very passionate this time. So in the match against Real Madrid it looks like Girona will continue to play with full confidence. And yes, it's true that the support from the supporters who will fill the Montilivi Stadium will definitely provide higher motivation to win the match.

However, we must not forget that what we are facing is the Real Madrid club with a winning mentality that cannot be underestimated. Even though in week 6 Real Madrid played quite badly and suffered defeat by Atletico Madrid. But then we could see Real Madrid playing well again in the match against Las Palmas. Even Real Madrid played without J. Bellingham in that match. But Real Madrid can still win quite comfortably.

So I think the chances for Girona to beat Real Madrid are very small. And actually in this match it looks like Vinicius Jr will play from the first minute. Because from the news that I read, Vinicius Jr has actually been recovering since a few weeks ago. And finally, in the match against Girona, it was said that Vini Jr. would play as a starter. So this match could be a nightmare for Girona. J.Bellingham and Vinicius Jr played together. So you can definitely guess what will happen there.

Sevilla has been playing so well in defense from barclona's attack. Ramos was unlucky enough in this game as he was not predicting if the ball would be going through his foot and then deflected to the its own goal net.

Felix was also almost scoring the opening goal for barcelona but it's not passing the goal line of atletico madrid. Barcelona is always threatening its opponents since the game was starting.

Felix, lewandoski are being a real threat for barcelona. It's a very hard win for barcelona. I guess that the result might be draw if ramos was not helping barcelona in scoring its own goal. How disappoint it for all of sevilla fans.

Ramos was making damn serious mistake by helping barcelona to win the game.   What a legend.

Not only he will pick form, but the Spanish La Liga is a place where he spent quite a good number of years playing for Real Madrid, and he has become familiar with the league, therefore adapting is not going to be a thing of worry at Sevilla he just need more time to blend in with the team's pattern of play. Every player makes a mistake and this own goal of Ramos is not the first of its kind.

A win for Real Madrid in this match against Girona is very important. If Real Madrid played this match at their home ground then we could say with much confidence that Real Madrid will win this match but this match is an away match for Real Madrid so this match will be a bit difficult for Real Madrid. Girona are unbeaten so far this season, maybe this match against Real Madrid will be their first defeat.  
Real Madrid have a great chance to beat Girona in this match to secure the top position in the points table.  

Even though there is some doubt about the result of this match, I will still be betting on Real Madrid in this match. Instead of betting a lot of money, I will bet relatively less money on this match.

I think the situation is very different from when Sergio Ramos played at Real Madrid to now he plays for Sevilla. Sergio Ramos is quite old and his team's condition is not as good as Real Madrid's, so he can only play and hope that there will be a surprise for the Sevilla squad, but unfortunately, an unpleasant situation happened and Barcelona won precisely because of his mistake.
So don't expect too much from an old player, Sevilla accepted him because they have a good memory of him, and also his status without a club gives Sevilla the advantage of not spending money to buy him, and with Sevilla's condition which is quite bad at the moment I don't think there will be much that can be done Sergio Ramos did it and it was proven in the match against Barcelona.

He has experience through his long career for big clubs with many big matches but his body is no longer good enough for him to play in big matches. Any player can make mistakes and I don't imply younger players will not make similar mistake like Ramos but by mentioning his body and age, I mean he is no longer as good as he was years ago.

His return to Sevilla should be a happy ending for his career and for Sevilla as one of best players grown up by them finally came home.

It is bad because it caused a loss for Sevilla but the season is long and no shame when Sevilla lost against one of strongest clubs in La Liga, Barcelona. Without that own goal, they could lose it in another way when Barcelona create more pressure.

There will be a fierce battle between real madrid and girona. Madrid needs to be careful even though the quality owned by girona was still far below madrid but girona has also a chance in making madrid to lose the points against girona.
Girona is moving up so fast and it was also surprising anyone who was also watching la liga. I think that there will be a hard game between madrid and girona. It seems like that vini will be playing on this match consider girona is very strong opponent right now.
Bellingham and vini would become the main players in helping madrid. I hope that btts will happen in this match. Madrid may win against girona with narrow score.
This is a very interesting match this week. Barcelona won against sevilla and madrid must not lose against girona.

Girona team can easily surprise real Madrid in my opinion especially after the 3 points that Barcelona got against Sevilla, real Madrid will be under pressure because they will need the 3 points to stay in the lead and this pressure can lead theme to make some mistakes

The quality of Girona's players is almost all the same, so they don't look at someone who is privileged to continue scoring goals because when there is an opportunity they will not waste the opportunity to execute it into a goal. The unity of the Girona players is very complete, they have built quite a solid relationship between the players so that they can work together well in every match. Girona reminds me of Newcastle United because they were able to build their strength from an ordinary squad into a squad that their opponents were quite afraid of. Maybe Girona will do something like that in Laliga this season, they will be able to achieve victory and victory if their players are able to maintain their best quality. For tomorrow's match, I still believe that Real Madrid will be the winner in this match because Real Madrid will try hard to keep their pace as close as possible to Barcelona at the top of the standings.

I was a bit surprised to see the head to head statistics between Girona vs Real Madrid because from the last 3 meetings Real Madrid was unable to win from Girona and on April last season too Real Madrid have already lose with big scores 4-2 so this proven although Girona status as mediocre team in Laliga but they have been several times to make Real Madrid get in trouble so Girona cannot be underestimate in this match moreover Girona status is still unbeatable so clearly they are much better if we compared to their performance for last season

Real Madrid win actually has high odds for this match @1.92 and probably why the bookmakers give high odds for Real Madrid is because Girona also can be considered as tough team for Real Madrid but i don't really sure Real Madrid win could be a good pick or not because Girona performance was very impressive currently and they have good balanced to attack and defense so this could be a hard match for Real madrid
