Real Madrid thrashed their guest Sevilla with a 4-1 victory in the match that brought them together today as part of the ninth round of the Spanish La Liga, continuing the royal team’s resurgence and strengthening their position in the standings. This victory greatly boosted the team’s morale ahead of the highly anticipated match against Barcelona in El Clasico, which is a true test of the team’s ability to compete for the title this season.
Real Madrid opened the scoring in the 30th minute through Turkish star Arda Guler, before French striker Kylian Mbappé added two consecutive goals in the 37th and 63rd minutes, putting his team ahead with a clean three-goal lead. Despite Sevilla’s attempts to come back and reduce the deficit with a goal by Manu Bueno in the 80th minute, substitute Ivorian Yan Doumbia settled the matter by scoring the fourth goal for the royal team in the 82nd minute, confirming Real Madrid’s absolute control over the match proceedings.
With this result, Real Madrid achieved their third consecutive league win, after having defeated Villarreal in the previous round, and secured a dramatic 4-3 victory over Italian Roma in the UEFA Champions League. This positive streak of results reflects the team’s technical and moral stability under the leadership of Portuguese coach José Mourinho, giving them a strong boost before hosting German Leipzig next Wednesday in the Champions League.
Currently, Real Madrid stands third in the Spanish league table with 21 points, one point behind second-placed Atlético Madrid, while Barcelona tops the standings with a perfect 27 points. Sevilla, on the other hand, suffered their third loss this season, freezing their tally at 14 points in sixth place, and preparing to face Osasuna at home in the upcoming round. Real Madrid’s win today confirms their readiness for the big El Clasico showdown against Barcelona next Sunday.
