Last match of the year this Sunday for Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti’s men host Sevilla FC in their Bernabeu den (4:15 p.m.), as part of the eighteenth day of La Liga. For this meeting, Kylian Mbappé will start alongside Rodrygo and Diaz in attack.

No Vinicius Junior, suspended due to an accumulation of boxes. On the other hand, the Brazilian will be entitled to an acclamation in his honor for his Fifa-The Best 2024 award. Eduardo Camavinga should start in the left lane, Ferland Mendy being on the bench.

End with a victory

For the rest, no surprise since Aurélien Tchouaméni will once again play his role as substitute central defender alongside Antonio Rüdiger. Jude Bellingham will take his place in midfield. Third in the standings the day after the stunning success of Atlético de Madrid on the pitch of FC Barcelona (1-2), Real must win.

The Merengue have one point less than Barça and four compared to the Colchoneros, current leaders. If they were to win this Sunday, they would overtake the Catalans, with one more game to play, and come back to within a point of the lead. Regardless, the goal for Carlo Ancelotti, Kylian Mbappé and all Madrilenians is to end 2024 with a victory.
