Assured to finish second in the championship, Real Madrid went without pressure but without much motivation either on the lawn of the Sevilla FC this Sunday evening, as part of the 37e Liga day. Very quickly in numerical superiority with the expulsion of Badé from the 12e Minute, the Merengues even found themselves 11 against 9 on the return from the locker room after a new opposing red card. And yet …

Yet the score has long remained virgin in a well -stocked Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium but weighed down by the strike of its supporters. It was not until the rocking point in the final quarter of an hour indeed to see Kylian Mbappé unlock the display panel, from a pretty distant strike placed out of the reach of the Andalusian goalkeeper (0-1, 75e).

In the last minutes of the game, Jude Bellingham in turn struck to give a little more bodies to this chick victory (0-2, 87e). We knew Real Madrid more dreating. And it is not for lack of being able to count on a sharp Mbappé. A star recruit on the way to end the season with the Pichichi trophy awarded to the top scorer in the Liga. At the top of his 29 achievements (against 25 for the Blaugrana Robert Lewandowski one day from the end of the championship) – for a total of 41 goals all competitions.

Yamal shines like Mbappé

Note at the same time the defeat of the Barcelona champion, at home in front of Villarreal (2-3), despite a new wonder signed Lamine Yamal. The yellow submarine thus ensuring its place in the Champions League like Bilbao and an Atlético which for its part has outperformed the Betis Seville (4-1).

At the bottom of the table, Leganes remains alive after its success in Las Palmas (0-1). 18e In the ranking, the Legionarios display two lengths behind Espanyol, beaten at the same time by Osasuna (2-0). A gap that they will have to be filled next week under penalty of relegation.
