Isco has enjoyed something of a career renaissance in the early stage of this season. The playmaker has been given a second chance by Ancelotti and he’s made the most of it!

PICTURE: Vinicius has been bright!

Kroos and Modric remain out for Real Madrid for this match and that means Ancelotti is short of options in the centre of the pitch at the moment. Even Ceballos is sidelined for Los Blancos.
32'
31'
Cooling break! It's a very warm evening in Seville and so the players have been given a moment to take on some water on the touchline. Probably a sensible thing to allow!
30'
Courtois almost caught out! Canales was trying to find a teammate in the middle with a cross, but he mis-hit the delivery and very nearly lobbed Courtois. It flashes wide in the end!
29'
Some of the players are starting to show some concern at the state of the playing surface at the Benito Villamarin. Indeed, bits of the pitch are starting to lift up!
27'
26'
This is proving to be a difficult match for Real Madrid. The Benito Villamarin is one of the toughest away venues in La Liga and Real Betis are a team with a lot of quality in their ranks.
25'
Casemiro and Valverde both signed new contracts this week to keep them at Real Madrid for the next few years. Both players are seen as key figures in midfield for their team.
24'
Fekir is also booked for his dive. Replays show there was indeed no contact!
23'
PENALTY CLAIM! Fekir goes down inside the area, the fans inside the Benito Villamarin believes Valverde tripped him, but the Real Betis playmaker is adjudged to have dived!
22'
PICTURE: Still level in Seville!

21'
Vazquez was at fault for a couple of the goals that Levante scored last week and so it's no surprise to see Carvajal return to right back this evening. A much more solid option.
20'
Levante showed how vulnerable that Real Madrid can be at the back. Los Blancos looked to be in control of the match at half time, but they had to recover to scramble a point at 3-3.
19'
And now it's Real Madrid's turn to have the ball and camp themselves on the edge of the opposition box. But Real Betis are doing a good job of plugging the gaps in defence.
18'
16'
While it was all doom and gloom ahead of the new season for Real Madrid, Ancelotti’s side have proved they will at least be competitive with decent performances against Alaves and Levante.
15'
Ancelotti is out on the touchline at the Benito Villamarin and he doesn't look too happy with what he has seen from his team so far. Real Madrid are now second best!
14'
PICTURE: Benzema came close early on!

Real Betis are a difficult team to beat, as shown by their recent form in the early part of the new season and the latter part of last season. Pellegrini has made a big difference!
