Mbappé Scores Twice as Real Madrid Beat Sevilla Before El Clasico

Real Madrid entered Sunday's meeting with Sevilla with El Clasico a week away. The October 18 fixture was part of La Liga's ninth round, according to L'Équipe.

The match took place at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, CNN Brasil reported. It ended with a convincing home victory and two goals from Kylian Mbappé.

Mbappé scored twice in Madrid's 4-1 win on October 18. One of his goals was a brilliant individual effort, according to Arab News.

Arda Güler and Yan Diomande supplied Madrid's other two goals, CNN Brasil reported. Their contributions meant Mbappé was not the only scorer in a four-goal display by the home side.

There was also an early disciplinary flashpoint. Arab News reported that Güler was fortunate to avoid an early red card, although the supplied coverage does not give the full details of the incident.

By the finish, Madrid had secured a three-goal margin. ESPN FC described Mbappé's double as the centrepiece of a victory that helped Madrid prepare for next week's El Clasico.

The win moved Real Madrid into third place in La Liga, according to Arab News. The supplied reports do not give their points total or the gap to the teams above them.

The result also brought goals from three players in José Mourinho's side, as The42 reported. Mbappé's double led the scoring, with Güler and Diomande completing Madrid's tally.

El Clasico is the next major test identified in the coverage, a week after the Sevilla match, according to L'Équipe. Madrid approach it after a decisive win, though this result alone cannot establish how they will fare in that fixture.
