Real Madrid Overtakes Barcelona with 4-2 Win Over Sevilla

Real Madrid secured a significant victory over Sevilla on December 22, 2024, at the Santiago Bernabeu, winning 4-2 and moving into second place in the LaLiga table. The match was marked by an explosive start from Real Madrid, with Kylian Mbappé opening the scoring in the 10th minute with a powerful long-range strike. This was Mbappé's tenth goal of the season and his fourth in as many games across all competitions.

Federico Valverde doubled the lead in the 20th minute with a stunning long-range effort, and Rodrygo extended the lead to 3-0 in the 34th minute following a beautifully orchestrated team move. Sevilla managed to pull one back through Isaac Romero's header in the 35th minute, but Real Madrid swiftly restored their three-goal cushion early in the second half with a goal from Brahim Diaz.

Sevilla's Dodi Lukebakio scored a late consolation goal in the 85th minute, but it was too little, too late to change the outcome. The victory keeps Real Madrid just one point behind league leaders Atletico Madrid and moves them ahead of Barcelona in the standings.

The match also marked an emotional farewell for Sevilla and Spain icon Jesus Navas, who is retiring at the end of the year. Navas received a heartfelt tribute at the Bernabeu, including a guard of honor and a standing ovation from the fans.
