Real Madrid faced Sevilla in a crucial La Liga clash today, securing a 2-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu. The match showcased a blend of standout performances and areas for improvement among the squad.
In a match that highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses of Carlo Ancelotti‘s side, Real Madrid managed to maintain their momentum in the 2024-2025 La Liga season. The team, buoyed by recent performances, entered this fixture with high expectations. Thibaut Courtois emerged as the standout player, making vital saves in the second half after a relatively quiet first period. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham continued to show his importance to the squad by scoring a crucial goal.
Player Ratings Breakdown
Courtois received an impressive rating of 8, reflecting his decisive contributions during critical moments. Despite limited action early on, he was called into action several times in the second half, proving his worth as the match’s undisputed man of the match. In contrast, Raúl Asencio, filling in at right-back, garnered a modest score of 5 for his defensive efforts, though his offensive involvement was lacking.
The defensive line faced scrutiny, particularly Antonio Rüdiger who scored only 4 for being “the most reliable” yet still part of a shaky backline. Huijsen‘s performance was notably disappointing with a rating of 1, struggling to maintain possession and often defending on the edge. Fran García showed promise by creating the first significant opportunity for Madrid but ultimately fell short with poor finishing, earning him a low score of 2.
Midfield and Attack Analysis
Aurélien Tchouaméni and Arda Güler both received scores of 5 for their inconsistent performances. Tchouaméni improved as the game progressed but started slowly, while Güler provided some creativity but struggled to shine alongside Bellingham. The Englishman himself received a score of 6 after netting an important goal and contributing to build-up play intermittently.
Rodrygo also earned a 6 for his late-game impact, nearly scoring before winning a penalty that sealed the victory. However, Kylian Mbappé’s performance was underwhelming; he scored from the penalty spot but was criticized for being overly selfish and failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities, resulting in a score of just 3. Vinícius Júnior mirrored this struggle with another rating of 3 after receiving boos from fans early in the match.
As Real Madrid continues its campaign in La Liga, questions remain about consistency and player form. With upcoming matches on the horizon, can they build on this victory and sharpen their performances? Only time will tell as they aim to solidify their position at the top of the table.
