A goal in each half for the Blancos, now -1 behind Barcelona, who have to face Villarreal in the big match of the day
Real beat Sevilla in their last match of 2025 (2-0, goals from Bellingham and Mbappé) and provisionally move to within one of leaders Barcelona, playing tomorrow in Vila-real, in the big match of the day. A doubly important Liga advance for the French striker, who turned 27 today and with this goal he scored goal number 59 in a calendar year with the Real Madrid shirt, equaling the record held by Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, a difficult victory in the first half for Real, who risked going behind with a dangerous shot from Romero, receiving the first boos from the crowd. In the 38th minute, however, the first goal arrived with Bellingham, who headed the ball following a free kick from Rodrigo. The match was decidedly livelier in the second half, with Sevilla penalized by Marcao’s expulsion for a second yellow card midway through the second half. With the extra man, Mbappé doubled his lead (18 goals in 18 La Liga games) on a penalty caused by a foul on Rodrigo.
