Bellingham, Mbappé Shine as Madrid Beats 10-Man Sevilla
21 Dec
Summary
- Bellingham scored a header, Mbappé converted a penalty.
- Sevilla played with 10 men after a red card to Marcao.
- Coach Xabi Alonso faced pressure before the crucial win.

Real Madrid secured a much-needed 2-0 victory over 10-man Sevilla in their final match before the winter break. Jude Bellingham's header in the 38th minute gave Madrid the lead, and Kylian Mbappé converted a penalty in the 86th minute to seal the win.
The match saw Sevilla reduced to 10 players when defender Marcao received a second yellow card for dangerous play. Sevilla's coach, Matías Almeyda, was also expelled from the sidelines during halftime, adding to the team's difficulties.
This win provides a temporary reprieve for coach Xabi Alonso, whose position had been under scrutiny amid a poor run of form. Real Madrid now sits in second place, one point behind league leaders Barcelona, ahead of their next match on January 4th.
