Liga: one week before the “Clasico”, Real Madrid corrects Sevilla FC, with a double from Mbappé

One week before a “Clasico” against Barça which promises to be hot, Real Madrid continues. After a short success against Villarreal in the league (0-1) and a stunning victory in the Champions League against AS Rome (3-4), the Merengue easily disposed of Sevilla FC this Sunday evening (4-1).

Three new points which allow José Mourinho's players to get on the podium, six points behind the Catalan leader and one point behind Atletico Madrid, second.

Mbappé was the first to show up. A strike outside the entry limits (4th) and good activity despite the waste. The former PSG player especially witnessed Arda Güler's magnificent opening goal after half an hour of play. The Turk, who escaped a possible heavy sanction for an elbow a few minutes earlier, sent a shot under the bar to open the scoring. Unstoppable.

Offensive Festival

Güler also rewarded us with a bright opening to Valverde (35th). The end of the first period is totally to the advantage of Mourinho's players. The proof with this second goal scored by Mbappé (37th), author of his 8th goal in La Liga this season. And what a goal! Served by a clever backheel from Bellingham, the French genius creates a roulette sequence, clears the opposing goalkeeper and pushes deep. The Bernabeu is exploding and is already thinking about the confrontation planned in a week at the Spotify Camp Nou... Agoumé, the Frenchman from Sevilla FC, had the opportunity to put his team back in the game but the giant Courtois repelled his shot (40+2nd).

The attacking trio, made up of Endrick, Diomandé and Mbappé, continued to wreak havoc in the Andalusian defense in the second half. In depth once again, Diomandé finds Mbappé in the area but the Frenchman is caught by defender Castrin (63rd). Penalty whistled. Mbappé takes care of it and scores his second goal with a “panenka” which is also unstoppable. The only downside is this too easy and dangerous loss of the ball near the surface, before Bueno's goal for honor (79th). Diomandé finally seals the fate of the match with a powerful strike (82nd).

All eyes are now on the next two matches since Real will challenge Leipzig this Wednesday before facing Lamine Yamal's Barcelona on Sunday October 25. We're already looking forward to it.
