The Santiago Bernabéu witnessed a match filled with high emotions and brilliant football as Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 4-2 in a game that marked the farewell of Jesús Navas from professional football. Fresh off their Intercontinental Cup triumph, Los Blancos delivered a commanding performance on a night dedicated to one of Spanish football’s most iconic figures.

Before kickoff, the stadium honored Navas with a heartfelt guard of honor, standing ovations, and tributes celebrating his illustrious two-decade career. A symbol of Sevilla FC and the player with the most titles in Spain’s national team history, Navas leaves behind an indelible legacy in Spanish football.

First Half: Madrid's Dominance

Despite the emotional atmosphere, Real Madrid stayed focused and asserted their superiority early:

• Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 10th minute with a long-range strike that left Sevilla's goalkeeper helpless.
• Fede Valverde doubled the lead with a thunderous shot from outside the box.
• Rodrygo made it 3-0 in the 35th minute after a beautiful combination involving Jude Bellingham and Lucas Vázquez, exploiting Sevilla’s defensive frailties, particularly the absence of natural fullbacks.

Second Half: Sevilla Fights Back, Madrid Seals It

Sevilla showed signs of life in the second half when Isaac Romero capitalized on a mistake by Aurélien Tchouaméni to pull one back. However, Madrid quickly extinguished any hopes of a comeback:

• Brahim Díaz restored the three-goal cushion with a composed finish following an assist from Mbappé.
• In the dying moments, Lukebakio added a consolation goal for Sevilla, making it 4-2.
