Madrid: Kylian Mbappé continued his impressive scoring run with a stunning goal just 10 minutes into a Spanish league match, contributing to Real Madrid's 4-2 victory over Sevilla on Sunday. This win leaves Madrid just one point behind league leaders Atletico Madrid as the year comes to a close.
Mbappé's right-footed shot found the upper corner, marking his fourth goal in as many matches for Madrid across all competitions. He has now netted six times in his last eight appearances for the club.
In addition to Mbappé, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo, and Brahim Díaz also found the back of the net in this convincing home win, as reported by the Spanish newspaper MARCA.
Atletico Madrid stunned Barcelona with a 2-1 victory last Saturday, thanks to a last-minute goal from Alexander Sorloth. Barcelona, currently in third place, trails Madrid by two points but has played one more match.
Valverde opened the scoring in the 20th minute, followed by Rodrygo in the 34th, before Sevilla responded with a goal from Isaac Romero in the 35th. Díaz then increased Madrid's advantage in the 53rd minute, while Dodi Lukebakio scored Sevilla's second goal in the 85th minute at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Sevilla, now in 12th place, had previously secured victories in their last two matches across all competitions.
