It is simple, RM and MU generally are loved by refs. It makes commercial sense, and so mega-sponsors love the love of refs towards such lovable teams. Moreover, Sevilla are not a big, fashionable club. They ain't no good for showbiz. Their own fans should understand that, they have to lose. That is the script. "The Madridistas shall vanquish sundry teams enroute to the final, where, they shall, after facing great odds, defeat the Arch-villains, Barca". This is a happy ending! This is showbiz! CR & Di Maria are perhaps practicing their diving skills. Mourinho must be rehearsing for his role before the camera, like any good actor should. Kaka, Benzema & co. are probably dancing away to the "La Bamba". Higuain, forms the back-up strike plan. In case of an emergency, especially in the closing stages, he shall emerge from the hospital bed after ridding himself of wires, blood bottles etc. like a Bollywood hero! La La La La Bamba!
