Real Madrid thrash Sevilla 4-1 in LaLiga ahead of El Clásico

Real Madrid secured a deserved victory over Sevilla with a score of 4-1 in the match held at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, as part of the ninth round of LaLiga, earning the royal team three important points in the race for the title.

Arda Güler opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 30th minute, capitalising on a pass from Yan Diomande, and unleashed a powerful and stunning shot from inside the penalty area that found the roof of the Sevilla net, giving the home side the lead.

In the 37th minute, Kylian Mbappé doubled the score by scoring the second goal, after receiving a brilliant back-heel pass from Jude Bellingham, before skillfully bypassing a Sevilla defender and the goalkeeper, and placing the ball into the net.

Kylian Mbappé continued his brilliance in the second half, scoring Real Madrid's third goal from a penalty in the 63rd minute, after he was brought down in the box following a pass from Yan Diomande, with the French star successfully converting the spot-kick.

Sevilla pulled one back in the 80th minute through Manu Bueno after the ball was intercepted from Kylian Mbappé in front of the penalty area, reaching Stasin who passed it to Bueno, who struck a low shot into the net. Yan Diomande then added a fourth goal with a stunning strike in the 82nd minute.
