Real Madrid Dominates Sevilla With 4-2 Victory

Kylian Mbappé shines as Ancelotti's side looks forward to 2025's challenges

Real Madrid delivered an impressive performance against Sevilla at Santiago Bernabéu, securing a commanding 4-2 victory on December 22, 2024. The win was not only significant for the points but also came as the team demonstrated its improved form as the La Liga season progresses.

With Kylian Mbappé leading the charge, the match started explosively. He opened the scoring with a spectacular long-range strike, placing Real Madrid firmly ahead within the first ten minutes. Following his inspired lead, Fede Valverde added to the tally just moments later with another long-range goal, showcasing the squad's burgeoning offensive capabilities.

Rodrygo, who had been pivotal throughout the match, found the net next. After creating opportunities and pressuring Sevilla's defense, he scored Madrid's third goal. Even as Sevilla struggled, their resolve was evident with Isaac managing to pull one back before halftime, igniting hope among their followers.

Real Madrid's Brahim rounded off the scoring for the hosts, netting the fourth goal and sealing the match before Jesús Navas made his emotional exit, receiving acclaim as he came onto the pitch for the final time. Despite the scoreboard showing 4-2, it was clear this match was more than just another three points for Los Blancos.

Following the match, Carlo Ancelotti lauded the team's collective commitment and resilience during the game. “We have clarified what we were missing: a bit of attitude, collective commitment. We have done things well again, as we should have,” he said. This reflection came after the team faced criticism after several underwhelming performances earlier in the season, particularly following their loss to AC Milan.

Mbappé also shared his thoughts on the game, stating, “We played very well, we've been getting much besser over the last few months. It’s always difficult to play against Sevilla and we were a bit fatigued after our trip to Qatar. But we gave everything, especially during the first half.” His comments highlighted the synchronization and chemistry developing within the squad, as he noted, “I think we now know each other mejor. The settling-in period is over, as the coach says.”

The strategic approach adopted by Ancelotti also shone through during the match. The plan effectively utilized the individual skills of his players, reinforcing the attacking strengths of Mbappé and Rodrygo. Particularly impressive were the long-range goals, indicating tactical training on their shooting accuracy. This was evidenced by the players stating they focus on executing long shots regularly during practice.

This match marked the perfect staging before the festive break and laid down positive momentum as they head toward the second half of the season. The victory positioned Real Madrid well within the title race, with Ancelotti acknowledging the need for consistency to challenge Atletico Madrid and Barcelona effectively.

Looking forward, Ancelotti stated, “We need to rest and be well for 2025.” The focus on rest and rejuvenation reflects the demanding schedule players face during the winter period, and it’ll be interesting to see how they utilize this break to mend and strengthen the team bonds.

The atmosphere during the match was heightened by Navas’ farewell, with the former Sevilla captain embodying the spirit of the club over the years with his dedication on the pitch. Ancelotti paid tribute to him, adding, “Jesús Navas deserves it... For his career, his success, but above all for his attitude and commitment.”

The dazzling win over Sevilla and the emotional farewell showcased not only the talent at Real Madrid’s disposal but also the harmony growing within the squad as they push onward through the season. With 2025 looming, fans can expect their team to carry this momentum forward, aiming for more titles and richer experiences on the pitch.
