Sevilla failed to punish Real Madrid's defensive frailties as Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham shine.
Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham were on target, as Real Madrid punished Sevilla's profligacy to reduce the deficit on Barcelona to one point before the Blaugrana face Villarreal.
Mbappé's goal was his 59th in LALIGA this calendar year. That incredible milestone helped him match Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for most league goals scored for Los Blancos in a calendar year. However, he missed the chance to eclipse the record.
Key match details
The opener came in the 37th minute. From a well-worked set piece, Rodrygo delivered a dangerous cross into the box and Jude Bellingham rose highest to power a header into the top corner, giving Real Madrid a deserved 1–0 advantage going into half-time.
Sevilla had many chances before and after the goal, with multiple 1v1 situations, but Los Nervionenses attackers could not hold their nerves.
Real Madrid dominated possession, however, and continued to apply the pressure after the restart and were rewarded late in the contest.
A swift move down the right saw Rodrygo cut inside before being clipped by a Sevilla defender in the box. The referee pointed to the spot following a brief check.
Kylian Mbappé stepped up confidently from the penalty spot, smashing his effort low into the corner to make it 2–0 and effectively After the second goal, Sevilla pushed forward in search of a way back, but Real’s defence remained disciplined, and Thibaut Courtois was rarely troubled.
