Real Madrid defeats Sevilla in La Liga

Kylian Mbappé equals Ronaldo’s record

French forward Kylian Mbappé scored twice in the match, equaling Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the most goals scored for Real Madrid in a calendar year. He now has 29 goals in 24 appearances across all competitions this season.

Crucial win for Xabi Alonso

The win comes at a critical time for coach Xabi Alonso, whose first season in charge has seen fluctuating performances. Recent results, including a Champions League defeat to Manchester City and narrow domestic wins, had increased pressure on him.

Extended dominance over Sevilla

This marks Real Madrid’s 13th consecutive victory over Sevilla, a team that has not beaten them in over seven years. The win temporarily cuts the gap with La Liga leaders Barcelona to just one point, ahead of Barcelona’s upcoming match against Villarreal.
