How to watch the La Liga match between Real Madrid and Sevilla, plus kick-off time and news on both teams.
Real Madrid, recent winners of the Intercontinental Cup thanks to a resounding 3-0 victory against Pachuca, now turn to La Liga with a clear ambition: to get back on the path to victory. Currently third in the championship, just one point behind the leading duo Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, the Madrilenians cannot afford to stumble against Sevilla this Sunday.
The Bernabéu has been a fortress this season for Carlo Ancelotti's men, with seven wins in eight home games. Led by stars like Kylian Mbappé, author of a brilliant performance in the Intercontinental Cup, Real will however have to bounce back after a spectacular 3-3 draw against Rayo Vallecano during their last outing in the league. A victory against Sevilla is crucial in the title fight, especially as Barcelona and Atlético face each other this weekend.
Real Madrid – Sevilla, a high-tension duel at the Bernabeu
Facing them, Seville approaches this meeting in a contrasting dynamic. Garcia Pimienta's men, eleventh in the standings, have just scored a 1-0 victory against Celta Vigo, but are struggling to win away from home. Their last away victory against Real dates back to December 2008, a record which illustrates the scale of their challenge.
However, Sevilla are showing encouraging signs this season, after a disappointing 2023-2024 campaign. With three victories in their last five matches, the Nervionenses hope to defy the predictions and end a series of 11 matches without success against the Madrilenians. The freshness of Sevilla, who did not play in midweek, could weigh against a physically challenged Real.
Between a Real Madrid in search of redemption and a Sevilla in search of exploit, this duel promises an intensity worthy of the major La Liga meetings.
