MADRID, Spain - David Beckham admits he will miss nights of high drama at Real Madrid when he leaves to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer this summer.

In a pulsating match that produced three red cards in addition to plenty of offense and near misses, Madrid emerged with a 3-2 victory rival Sevilla on Sunday at the Bernabeu.

The 32-year-old former England national team captain, who is expected to make his Galaxy debut in July after signing a five-year contract worth around $250 million, enjoyed the battle against Sevilla.

"You are always going to miss nights like this because they are special, the way the atmosphere is, the way the people are, the way the team played," Beckham said.

Beckham, who has spent four years at Madrid, also wanted to look toward the future.

"You are always going to miss something like this, but everybody moves on," he said.

One sour note for Beckham against Sevilla was the booking he received in the second half, meaning he is set to be suspended for next weekend's home match against Espanyol.

With only five games remaining this season - three at home, two away - Beckham will not have many more nights like Sunday's for the Spanish giants, but he is determined to make the most of it.

"I`m going to cherish these next five games, a few at home and then a few away," he said.

Madrid's win over Sevilla was its sixth in the last seven league matches and saw it climb above the Andalusian side into second place.

Beckham's team is only two points behind first-place Barcelona and he believes the win over Sevilla could be crucial in the quest for the title.

"(This) win was a big step toward that," said Beckham, who has yet to win a major trophy since joining Madrid in 2003. "We needed to win and every game is crucial now."

Beckham also hailed the spirit in the Madrid camp.

"We are together as a team. Even when we are losing we are coming back and winning the game," he said.

"There are no individuals (in the team). It is good, we've still got a great team. We've obviously let great players go, but we are performing and that is the way it should be."
