Real Madrid Thrash Sevilla 4-1 Ahead of El Clásico

Real Madrid sent a strong message ahead of next weekend’s El Clásico with a convincing 4-1 victory over Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabéu. José Mourinho’s side produced an impressive attacking display to secure three points and reduce the gap to La Liga leaders Barcelona to six points.

Arda Güler opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a superb finish after a move involving Yan Diomande and Jude Bellingham. Seven minutes later, Kylian Mbappé doubled the advantage, showing excellent individual skill before beating goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.

Mbappé struck again after the break, converting a penalty in the 63rd minute after being brought down inside the box. Sevilla briefly threatened to make the closing stages interesting when substitute Manu Bueno scored in the 80th minute, but Diomande responded almost immediately with a powerful finish to restore Madrid’s three-goal cushion.

The result was also marked by the return of Éder Militão, who came off the bench in the 85th minute for his first appearance since undergoing hamstring surgery in April. His comeback gives Madrid an additional defensive option at a crucial stage of the campaign.

Madrid have now won three consecutive matches in all competitions since the international break and sit third in the league standings, one point behind Atlético Madrid. Their attention will soon turn to Barcelona, but a Champions League fixture comes first as Mourinho’s team look to carry their improved form into one of the biggest matches of the season.
