Real Madrid triumphs over Sevilla at the Pizjuán

Real Madrid claimed victory in the penultimate matchday of the League. Arbeloa's side earned three points against Sevilla at the Sánchez-Pizjuán with a strong collective performance. Despite numerous chances for both teams, a goal by Vini Jr. in the 15th minute ensured the madridistas' win. Carvajal played his 450th match for Madrid.

The first chances came from the home side, and after five minutes, Courtois made a fantastic save to deny a distant left-footed strike by Oso. Despite Sevilla's intensity, it was Madrid who opened the scoring just after the first quarter of an hour. Brahim delivered a fine cross into the box that Mbappé controlled with his chest, allowing Vini Jr. to seize the ball and beat Odysseas with a perfect right-footed finish. After the goal, Arbeloa's men continued to attack and limited the opponent's chances with solid defensive work. Six minutes before the end of the first half, Mbappé nearly extended the lead with a right-footed strike from the left side of the area, which grazed the post.
