Real Madrid Beat Sevilla 4–1 as Kylian Mbappé Scores Twice in LaLiga
Real Madrid secured a convincing 4–1 victory over Sevilla in LaLiga on Sunday, October 18, 2026, as Kylian Mbappé scored twice and young forward Yan Diomande delivered an impressive performance with a goal and an assist.
Following their dramatic UEFA Champions League victory over Roma, Madrid continued their scoring form with another four-goal display at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Arda Güler opened the scoring before Mbappé struck twice, while Diomande completed the victory with a stunning late goal. Sevilla's Manu Bueno scored a consolation goal in the second half.
The result gave José Mourinho's side consecutive LaLiga victories as they continued their domestic campaign without the suspended Vinícius Júnior.
Arda Güler Opens the Scoring for Real Madrid
Sevilla started brightly and created early opportunities, with Robbie Ure forcing a save from Thibaut Courtois before Rubén Vargas fired narrowly wide.
However, Real Madrid gradually gained control and broke the deadlock in the 30th minute. Yan Diomande drove forward down the left flank before laying the ball back to Arda Güler, who produced a superb curling finish over Sevilla goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.
The goal gave Madrid the breakthrough and shifted the momentum in favour of the home side.
Kylian Mbappé Extends Madrid's Lead
Real Madrid doubled their advantage in the 37th minute through Mbappé. The French forward collected Jude Bellingham's clever flick, turned away from the defence and rounded Vlachodimos before calmly rolling the ball into the net.
Mbappé continued to trouble Sevilla after the interval, using his pace and movement to create problems for the visitors' defence.
Madrid extended their lead shortly after the hour mark when Mbappé was brought down inside the penalty area by Andrés Castrín. The forward stepped up to take the resulting penalty and confidently chipped the ball down the middle to make it 3–0.
The goal completed Mbappé's brace and strengthened Madrid's control of the match.
Manu Bueno Scores for Sevilla
Despite trailing by three goals, Sevilla continued to fight and eventually found the net in the 80th minute.
Manu Bueno dispossessed Mbappé before combining with Lucas Stassin in a neat one-two. Bueno then curled a finish into the bottom-left corner to reduce the deficit to 3–1.
The goal offered Sevilla a brief moment of hope, but Madrid responded by restoring their three-goal advantage before the final whistle.
Yan Diomande Seals a 4–1 Victory
Diomande capped an outstanding individual performance with a spectacular goal that settled the contest.
After contributing the assist for Güler's opener, the young forward found the net with a powerful strike into the top corner, completing Madrid's 4–1 victory.
His goal and assist highlighted his growing influence in the team and added another positive moment to Madrid's attacking display.
Mbappé Continues His Strong Record Against Sevilla
Mbappé once again proved decisive against one of his familiar LaLiga opponents. According to the supplied match report, he had been involved in six goals across five league appearances against Sevilla, recording five goals and one assist.
His brace in this match further underlined his importance to Madrid's attack, particularly with Vinícius Júnior unavailable due to suspension.
Mbappé's penalty also added to his record of winning spot-kicks since joining Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024.
Yan Diomande Makes History at Real Madrid
Beyond the scoreline, Diomande's performance stood out for its statistical significance.
At 19 years and 338 days old, he became the youngest player in the 21st century to score and assist in the same LaLiga match for Real Madrid, according to the supplied report. He surpassed Jude Bellingham's previous age benchmark of 20 years and 51 days.
Diomande also recorded an assist in consecutive matches across all competitions for the first time in his career in Europe's top five leagues.
His contribution offered further encouragement for Madrid, as the young forward demonstrated his ability to influence matches at the highest level.
