Real Madrid secured a narrow 1–0 victory over Sevilla FC, with Vinícius Júnior delivering the decisive moment in a tightly contested La Liga clash.

The Brazilian forward struck in the 15th minute, netting his 22nd goal of the season after capitalizing on sustained early pressure. The goal came amid controversy, with Kylian Mbappé involved in the build-up following an apparent elbow incident that Sevilla players protested, but the referee allowed play to continue.

This comes after Real Madrid were facing serious dressing room tension, Softfootball confirmed that Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni were involved in a confrontation, on 10th of may 2026. While Kylian Mbappé, speaking to the media earlier last week, expressed sadness over suggestions from some supporters that he does not want to play for Real Madrid, insisting that such claims are completely false.

Despite returning to the starting lineup, Mbappé endured a frustrating outing, missing key chances and failing to register a shot on target. While he showed flashes of quality, including a near assist for Aurélien Tchouaméni, his overall performance highlighted ongoing struggles in front of goal.

Madrid relied on defensive discipline for the remainder of the match, with Thibaut Courtois producing crucial saves late on to deny Sevilla an equaliser. The hosts pushed hard in the closing stages, but lacked the cutting edge to break through.

The result sparked widespread reactions from fans online, with many praising real madrid’s intensity while expressing concern too.

el_futbol_mas_hermoso says this shity season should come to an end soon

The only good thing about all this is that there’s just one matchday left until this shitty season they made comes to an end; just as they fulfilled the obligation they had against Oviedo and Sevilla, they should do the same against Athletic Club. There’s nothing to celebrate when they gave such a pitiful performance.
