Real Madrid vs Sevilla La Liga highlights: commentator says Real Madrid are hard to stop once they shift up a gear
This is a La Liga highlights package of Real Madrid against Sevilla, with the commentator assessing both teams while recapping the goals. The takeaway is that Real Madrid's attacking quality was high and they could suddenly shift up a gear, though their defense gave Sevilla chances; Sevilla were poor overall and only threatened in patches.
- Real Madrid's back line is too easy to get into and needs to recalibrate defensively — Sevilla's Suazo and Vargas could both get into that area and shoot, with Vargas pulling his effort just wide.
- This performance means nothing compared with next week's game; Sevilla have been really poor and done almost nothing tonight — Sevilla offered little threat, and the bigger match comes next week.
- Real Madrid's speed of thought is too quick, and Mbappé's goal was spectacular — Mbappé combined with quick one-twos, turned and rounded the goalkeeper; doing that at such pace is very difficult.
- Sevilla's players did not accept the penalty decision — They felt the contact should not have been a spot kick, and the defender was especially unhappy.
- The penalty was the right call; the contact was accidental but it was still a foul because Mbappé was in front — Mbappé got across the defender, who tried to pull out but could not avoid the clash of legs, so the referee gave the spot kick.
- Sevilla deserve credit for that goal, but the left-footed finish looked unorthodox and he maybe should have used his right foot — Sevilla worked the goal, but the scorer stabbed at it with his left foot, which the commentator thought looked unusual.
- Sevilla's goal was Mbappé's fault for going back there to get the ball; Real Madrid were also slack and unhappy about conceding — After Mbappé dropped back, Manu Bueno finished with his left foot; Real Madrid players were angry because they pride themselves on clean sheets.
- You can never think the game is over at 3-1 against Real Madrid because they can step up a gear and score again — Just minutes after conceding, Madrid went down the other end and scored with a fierce run and shot into the box.
- That Sevilla attack was clearly offside — The commentator thought it was straight offside, so it did not count.
- Real Madrid were impressive, with goals flowing and high-quality finishes — Madrid produced fluent attacking play and finished their chances to a high standard.

Real Madrid versus Sevilla. A season for Real Madrid so far that can be described as turbulent in many ways summed up by the topsyturvy midweek comeback Champions League win over Roma in the Italian capital. Sevilla certainly a different proposition this term. Good to see in the initial 11 for Real Madrid. The trials, tribulations and yes, triumphs of the Menes midweek in Italy. Certainly one of the highlights of the season so far. Felt a bit like going up and down the seven hills of Rome. Man from Chile. See if they can build here and well they had not just Robbie by Bayern 6-1A and Diamande and the shot always going wide. Mbappé hails from the Seville area proud of the fact that so many fall in that category. Kukura taking charge. The angle is a little bit tight there for Endri. Real Madrid get on with it. Diamande and well it was difficult for him from there. Re-calibrate defensively. Yeah, they need to Derek. Just a slight slip there from Yandi Amandandy, but they need to because already Suazo was able to take charge again and just wide that shot from Vargas. Better from Sevilla. >> Yeah, again it's not hard, is it, to get into that Real Madrid back line. Just a snapshot by Vargas. just pulled it slightly wide. Cute angle and got the victory. Very unlikely as you said after 80 minutes, but they got there in the end. >> Well, this could be productive. It wasn't in the end, but the shot does come in Valde. Now, was that going in? >> I think it was. Cannons off Kian Mbappé. I think it was going in. Struck with a lot of power from Fed Valver. You see where Kellian is right in the middle of the goal. So certainly it looked as if it was going to go in. The goalkeeper wouldn't have had any chance at all. Whether it would have been offside as a Sure. Many was the man he was dubtailing with. Oh, lovely stuff there. And would have been a special goal from Hrik Bellingham. >> Yeah, nice strength from Mric. Lovely little given goal with Dude Bellingham. Speculative shot from that distance. >> Must know how to play an accurate pass. Diamande defenders having to back off here for Sevilla. Diamande went around the outside. He's faced by Castrin. Not Bellingham doing the prompting. Diamande had the speed to keep that one in play again. Eiglacas for company. YAN MANDE AND GULER. OH, SENSATIONAL. What a hit. Out of this world, Aruler. Well, he rubber stamps his credentials yet again. What a ripper to give Real Madrid the lead. Fizzes a ball into Bellingham who has one touch and then picks out Diamande the outside of his right foot. Another brilliant ball and Diamandi this time choosing the right pass. Slows the ball down. Lays it on a plate for Arula to do whatever he wants with it. And he decides to do arguably the hardest thing possible. Kill it over. Vladimir always fizzing away from the goalkeeper right into the staunch of the goal. What a way to open the scoring today. I think you'll be hardressed. It's rarely touched the ball. Young Scott who used to be with Rangers in Glasgow. Now the defense really under the caution that can happen at the best of times against Kian Mbappé. Not the only one. >> You see here just gets a little tug on his share just to stop him slightly. Otherwise, if he would have been a couple of yards ahead, he may have been able to have a touch in on goal to Sha. This this don't doesn't mean anything when you compare it to next week's game. With all respect, Sevilla have been really poor this evening. They've done absolutely nothing. >> Bellingham. OH, LOVELY PLAY AND MBAPPé. THAT IS ANOTHER SUPERB REAL GOAL. WE ARE BEING treated to something exquisite. Kian Mbappé's turn. >> Does it get much more spectacular? >> Real Madrid speed of thought is just too quick. Dear Mandy to Bellingham to Killian who flips it round, does a 380 and 360 sorry. And then this speed of thought round the goalkeeper. Just a quick one, two, one, two. Oh, lovely. and looks easy. That is difficult at that pace with the pressure of scoring a goal. What a lovely take. Takes the defender right out of the game. Salah. Boom. Boom. Beautiful. Beautiful. Two moments of absolute magic for Madrid this evening. Being made responsible for defensive set plays amongst other things. Vargas did well enough and there's the save by Tibot Corttois. An important one to deny Agume High for the corner, but this was the chance at the other end of the >> Yeah, he almost passed it in, didn't he? Just >> but even so, Tibbo Corttois. Oh, they've left Killian one-on-one. That's difficult enough. >> It's a good save from Corttois. was dicing with danger when you leave Mbappé to roam in that sort of fashion running at Kukura at least. Yeah, at least they get further up the pitch. I mean, it's a disappointing effort in the end by Auk, but at least he he's decisive. He wants to get into the penalty area. Rumzakare looks as though Stetsza will come on. Here's Diamande and it's a poor finish. He knows it again. Takes on Kukura. Ilacias with a chip ball back and well it looked as though Felix was in position and that was a lot better from a severe angle. I don't know whether he would have been better just doing a diving header. Attacking the ball. >> Big block by Fed Valverde. Fires it into the ground. Maybe >> element of cruise control about Real Madrid and Diamande does have the capacity to make it look simple. Coming together there and a penalty. Mbappé a judged to have been fouled and they're not having it. the Sevilla players, especially Castrine. Spot kick given though. >> Yeah, simple ball. Lovely turn by Dear Mandy. Puts Mbappé in. He's on sides. It's just whether he fouls him there or not cuz once he runs across him. Yeah, it's accidental, but it's a foul, isn't it? It just It's a coming together of the legs because Mbappé's in front of him. Cast tries to pull out, but unfortunately he can't. Now it's been given the fact that Mbappé was in front of Castine. So it is Kellian Mbappé and that's how he chose to do it right up the middle opting for pure finesse. Mbappé at the double and Real Madrid accelerating away from Sevilla. Yeah, extremely comfortable evening. Little penanka from Kian Mbappé and the celebration to match. Vlacadimos doesn't dive actually, but he just goes one way and he just cannot return to the middle of the goal. Falls and then puts a desparing right arm out. You can see he's nearly there, but not enough. Barcelona and Eláico because he is too important. Kellian Mbappé was the man who released it. Sevilla have been happier in the second half to fire the ball towards goal. Fana that time and Corttois watching it all the way applauding the intention on the part of Endri. This was Fana. Yeah, you can see not at full stretch t-bs. He's given Kukura the run around. Here's Manu Bueno, but a dead end there. And that was bound to be a free kick in favor of Real Madrid. And not just a free kick, but a yellow card as well for Iglacas. >> Yeah, there's not much to go, but he does move where Duke Bellinger is. He does move into his way. >> UK one of the positives and Kukura he's trying to stay with him and but he hesitated just for a second the referee. The card has come out. Kukura being spoken to said he steps across Kuker and he does catch him. I mean it was quite accidental really because he step he does step across the ball of juk. Plenty of good a three goal deficit here. Chipped in Suazo and it was well worked. You have to give them credit for that. Sevilla chief of this. Yeah, he hits it with his left foot. You almost feel as if he should have went with his right foot. Looks very unorthodox just stabbing it with his left foot. Bueno back across. This game ebbing away approaching the final 10 minutes. That was slack FROM REAL MADRID AND BUENO HAS PULLED ONE BACK. WELL, living up to his name. Muy Bueno for Sevilla. Manu Bueno reduces the Aras 3-1. >> And that's Kian Mbappé's fault. Why he's going back there, Derek, to get the ball, I will never know. But s's body up and man winner, we know why he took that volley on before with his left foot because he favors his left foot and he strokes one past TBO Corttois. >> Yeah, the he feels about it. He's not happy at all and rightly so. Rüig's punch uh sorry Canate was punching the floor and you can see why they pride themselves on getting clean sheets. A little bit of slackness within the game. Here's Diamande. Mbappé making the run in the center, but it's Diamande. What a big finish. >> Yande for the second week running in La Liga. JUST ABOUT BURSTING THE NET. And a couple of minutes after Real Madrid conceded, there's the response. An emphatic one from a special young talent, Yande. >> Yeah, this is this is what they can do at the other end of the pitch. They can just step it up into a different gear and go again. And that's why you never ever think that the game's over and done with a 3-1. Madrid just go down the other end and score. Diamanzi just running into the penalty area and an unleashing shot. W just bouncing up and down there. 41. But it's maybe a look at goal here for Sevilla and Fauana. but he's disappointed and rightly so. And one more reminder about the big one next weekend coming up on Sunday. Eláico, Barcelona against Real Madrid. Three Eastern ABC and on the ESPN app. It's a fine pass. ESP nearly through but the challenge came in from Kik Salas for Sevilla with less than five minutes of normal time remaining. >> Yeah, I think it was just offside. Yeah, just straight offside on the score sheet having come on as a substitute only the second goal of his Sevilla career. Real Madrid they can finish on an even higher note. Kukura sliding that one across and it comes to amen and pushed away. Strong goalkeeping by Blaco Deimos. Bueno forward in the last gasps of this match now. And the free kick has been given. Quick check of the watch anyway. Yeah, nice hit from Chenny. Good save. >> And that is going to be all here at the Santiago Peru. Impressive from Real Madrid. Certainly the goals were flowing and high quality finishes at that.
