On a turbulent night at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Real Madrid overcame a pre-match upset to defeat Sevilla FC 2-0 in their final away game under Carlo Ancelotti. Late strikes from Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham secured the win after Sevilla played with nine men for much of the match.
Early Red Cards Turn Tide
Sevilla fought hard despite two early dismissals. In the 12th minute, defender Loïc Badé brought down Mbappé behind the play. With Mbappé clean through on goal, Badé’s last-man foul drew a straight red card. Sevilla could not reshape before halftime. Then, at the start of the second half, Isaac Romero replaced striker Álvaro Pascual but lasted under a minute. A reckless tackle on Aurélien Tchouaméni earned him a yellow card, which VAR upgraded to red.
Real’s Patience Pays Off
Playing against nine men, Real Madrid patiently built their attack:
- First Half Chances: Mbappé twice broke through—once denied by the crossbar and once by a fine save from Ørjan Nyland.
- Sevilla’s Best Moment: Pascual nearly scored after stealing from Jacobo Ramón, but he poked his shot into the side-netting.
- Dominant Second Half: With space to exploit, Real pressed on until the breakthrough.

Late Goals Secure the Win
Kylian Mbappé, the league’s top scorer, finally found the net in the 75th minute. Freed by Bellingham’s vision, Mbappé struck a low drive from outside the box that Nyland could not reach. His 29th La Liga goal of the season sent the away fans into ecstasy.
Deep into stoppage time, Jude Bellingham headed home a cross from substitute Gonzalo García to wrap up the 2-0 result. Bellingham’s leap and finish capped another stellar performance.
