Real Madrid 2-0 Sevilla result - Kylian Mbappe penalty clinches points against 10-man visitors, following Jude Bellingham's opener

Marcao can have no complaints over his red card against Los Blancos. The Sevilla defender was lucky to stay on the pitch during the first half and was rightfully sent off in the second. What was unseen was the red the visiting head coach saw at half-time.

The French striker was desperate to end the year on a high and match Christiano Ronaldo’s club record. He was fortunate to have the late penalty to seal the deal late on.

That is full-time as Real Madrid clinch the points to end the year on a positive note. They largely have goalkeeper Courtois to thank as he pulled off another flying save at the death to deny Gonzalez.

Rodrygo has another surging run before being clipped by Sow on the edge of the penalty area. VAR checks to make sure that the foul is outside the area. It’s an inch outside of the penalty area.

Mbappe fails to get enough dip on his effort which is off-target

Bellingham gets goal-side of his marker and then goes down inside the box. Sevilla are incensed by the decision as Oso got the ball.

The referee initially gives the penalty before it’s overturned by VAR

Sevilla almost pull a goal back immediately. The Madrid defence are again found wanting with Bellingham blocking the initial effort and then Peque fires wide.

Rodrygo was charging into the box before being caught by a high leg. Mbappe steps up and slots the ball home with ease to complete the victory.

The Brazilian captain makes his slow way off the pitch as he makes way for Garcia. The home fans are not massively impressed by the change.

A sloppy tackle by Real substitute Camavinga gives the visitors an inviting free-kick opportunity. However, Sanchez sends his tired effort low into the wall.

Mbappe runs out of space in the box before letting Rodrygo have a go. The midfielder flicks the ball up for himself and his volley is tipped onto the crossbar by goalkeeper Vlachodimos.

Without the pace of Romero the Sevilla attack is substantially weaker. Oso tries to cross into the box but is heavily marked by Asencio.

Not the best game for Guler who is replaced for this last 20 minutes by Camavinga

The Sevilla man won the ball and was fouled by Vinicius Junior. However, it is Sow who is booked.

The Sevilla defender has gone through Bellingham with a sliding challenge. The defender was lucky to stay on during the first half. Marcao is unhappy and confronts the referee before being ushered off the pitch.

The forward catches his effort brilliantly. The dipping effort is just palmed over by Courtois who has been busy in this half. From the resulting corner Agoume headed over for Sevilla.

Almeyda has not appeared during this second half on the touchlines. That’s because he was sent off at the break by the referee. He was booked in the first half and must have earned himself a second booking during half-time.

Oso comes on for Suazo as Sevilla make their first change.

The defender catches the back of Mendy as he turned away from the home player.
