Real Madrid showcased a brilliant performance in La Liga, securing a commanding 4-2 win against Sevilla at their iconic home ground, Santiago Bernabéu. Under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti, the Spanish giants solidified their position in the league standings with this impressive victory.
Dominance in the First Half
From the very beginning, Real Madrid asserted their dominance on the pitch. In just the 10th minute, Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring for Los Blancos with a clinical finish from Rodrygo’s assist. The French superstar, who had recently faced criticism for a goal drought since joining Real, silenced his critics with this crucial goal. Ahead of the match, coach Ancelotti had remarked, “Mbappé has settled into the team; now it’s time for him to deliver.” And deliver he did.
In the 20th minute, Federico Valverde doubled Real’s lead with a sensational long-range strike from nearly 30 yards out, leaving the Sevilla goalkeeper stunned. The home team continued their relentless attacks, and in the 34th minute, Rodrygo added the third goal, making it 3-0 for Real Madrid.
However, Sevilla managed to pull one back before halftime. In the 43rd minute, Isaac Romero found the net for Sevilla, reducing the deficit to 3-1 as the teams headed into the break.
Relentless Attacks in the Second Half
Real Madrid maintained their aggressive approach in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Brahim Díaz capitalized on a brilliant assist from Mbappé to score the fourth goal for the home side, effectively sealing the game at 4-1.
Sevilla, however, fought back late in the match. In the 85th minute, Dodi Lukebakio scored for the visitors, narrowing the gap to 4-2. But it was too little, too late, as Real Madrid comfortably held on to their lead and claimed a well-deserved victory.
