Real Madrid vs Sevilla Ratings: Bellingham and Rodrygo Shine as Real Madrid Claim a Comfortable 2-0 Victory

Real Madrid dispatched Sevilla with a comfortable 2-0 scoreline in a La Liga encounter at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Los Blancos dictated the flow from the very first whistle, and it just felt like a matter of time before the deadlock was broken. The breakthrough inevitably came from the man of the moment, Jude Bellingham. He timed his run perfectly to meet a beautiful cross from the Brazilian winger Rodrygo, heading his side into the lead. Sevilla's already difficult evening turned into a nightmare in the second half. What stood out to us was the lack of discipline, culminating in Marcão's dismissal for a second yellow, which left his team with an impossible task.

Real Madrid wasted no time in making their numerical advantage count. The brilliant Rodrygo was once again central to the action, his tricky feet winning a clear penalty that Kylian Mbappé calmly slotted home. Despite conceding twice, we have to give credit to Sevilla's keeper, who prevented a complete humiliation in this match with several key saves. Real Madrid are ensuring they don't drop points and continues to put pressure on Barcelona, as they are currently one point behind them right now in the La Liga standings. Here are Sportsdunia's Real Madrid vs Sevilla player ratings.

Almeyda & Marcão Dismissals Prove Costly in Sevilla Player Ratings

Check out the Sevilla player ratings for the Real Madrid vs Sevilla fixture.

Goalkeeper

Odysseas Vlachodimos - 7.5: He was fighting a losing battle, but what a fight he put up. Vlachodimos made six saves, five of which were from shots inside the box. He kept the scoreline from becoming embarrassing, pulling off some fantastic stops to deny Mbappé and Rodrygo. From our perspective, he was Sevilla's best player by a country mile. Conceding two goals doesn't tell the whole story of his performance. He can hold his head high.

Defenders

José Ángel Carmona - 4.0: A really tough night for the defender. What stood out to us was the sheer number of times he was dribbled past - seven times in total. That's just not good enough at this level. He was constantly targeted by Madrid's wingers and looked out of his depth. The early yellow card didn't help his cause either. A performance he will want to forget quickly.

Nemanja Gudelj - 5.5: As captain, you expect more leadership, but Gudelj had a quiet game. He was positionally okay and made a few important clearances early on. However, he struggled to contain the fluid movement of Madrid's attackers. His passing was tidy, but he offered little resistance when Madrid turned up the heat. An average performance in a well-beaten defence.

Marcão - 3.5: An absolute disaster of a performance. We noticed his aggression was bordering on reckless from the start. He was lucky to stay on after his first cynical foul. His second yellow was just a foolish, clumsy challenge that left the referee with no choice. He let his team down badly, killing any remote chance of a comeback. His lack of discipline was a major factor in Sevilla's defeat.

Gabriel Suazo - 6.0: He was one of the brighter sparks in Sevilla's backline before being substituted. Suazo was neat in possession and even created a big chance with a good forward pass. Defensively, he held his own for the most part, but was eventually sacrificed as the manager looked for a change. A decent, if unspectacular, hour of football from him.

Juanlu Sánchez - 5.0: It was a difficult outing for the young fullback. He showed some energy getting forward, delivering a couple of decent crosses. However, his defensive contribution was poor. He was dribbled past three times and his rash challenge resulted in the penalty that sealed the game. A harsh learning experience for him against top-quality opposition.

Midfielders

Lucien Agoumé - 6.5: A mixed bag from Agoumé. We were impressed by his vision to create a big chance and he wasn't afraid to have a shot. He was busy and tried to make things happen for his team. On the other hand, he lost possession ten times and his yellow card was unnecessary. There's a good player in there, but he needs to find more consistency.

Batista Mendy - 6.0: Incredibly tidy on the ball with a 98% pass completion rate, but what did he do with it? From our perspective, he played it far too safe. He recovered the ball well on nine occasions but offered little going forward. His error leading to a shot put his team under needless pressure. He needed to be braver and more progressive in his passing.

Djibril Sow - 6.5: A typically combative display from Sow in the middle of the park. He worked tirelessly, making three tackles and two interceptions. His passing was crisp and he wasn't afraid to put his foot in. He was one of the few Sevilla players who seemed up for the physical battle. A solid if ultimately fruitless effort.

Forwards

Isaac Romero - 5.0: This was a frustrating night for the striker. He got into good positions but his finishing let him down badly. Missing two big chances is unforgivable in a game like this. His team needed him to be clinical, and he wasn't. He looked lively but lacked the composure required to make a difference. A disappointing evening for him.

Alexis Sánchez - 7.0: If anyone was going to create something for Sevilla, it was him. He created three chances, including one big chance, and looked a threat whenever he got on the ball. His experience showed as he drew fouls and tried to link up play. It was a spirited performance, but he was ultimately left isolated by his team's poor overall display.

Substitutes

Oso - 5.5: Came on for Suazo but struggled to make a real impact on the game.

Peque Fernández - 5.5: Replaced the wasteful Romero but had little service to work with as his team were down to ten men.

Manager

M. Almeyda - 5.0: His team looked second-best from the start. The tactics seemed reactive rather than proactive, and his players' lack of discipline, particularly Marcão's red card, reflected poorly on his management. He was unable to change the course of the game with his substitutions.

Bellingham & Rodrygo Steal the Show With 8.5+ Performances in Real Madrid Player Ratings

Check out the Real Madrid player ratings for the Real Madrid vs Sevilla fixture.

Goalkeeper

Thibaut Courtois - 7.5: He wasn't as busy as his opposite number, but he did everything required of him with class. Courtois made four saves, including three from inside the box, to secure his clean sheet. His handling was secure and his presence commanded the penalty area. Another calm and confident performance from the Belgian.

Defenders

Raúl Asencio - 6.0: A slightly shaky performance from the defender. He was solid in the air but his three fouls and yellow card showed a bit of positional indiscipline. He was a bit too aggressive at times. He did his job but was probably the weakest link in an otherwise solid Madrid backline.

Fran García - 6.5: A solid if unspectacular game from García. He got forward well and was a willing runner down the left. Defensively, he was sound, winning most of his duels. He'll be disappointed to have missed a big chance to score, but his overall contribution was positive. A reliable performance.

Antonio Rüdiger - 6.5: It was a surprisingly quiet game for Rüdiger. He didn't have much to do defensively as Sevilla offered little threat through the middle. He was composed on the ball, with a 91% pass accuracy, but we've seen him be far more influential. A straightforward night at the office for the German international.

Dean Huijsen - 8.0: What an impressive performance this was. We were blown away by his maturity and defensive acumen. Winning nine out of eleven duels, making six clearances, and being dominant in the air, he was a rock at the back. His passing was excellent, and he even got forward to become a threat on set pieces. A fantastic display that suggests a very bright future.

Midfielders

Jude Bellingham - 8.5: Another goal, another masterful performance. What more can you say about him? He popped up with the crucial opening goal, a perfectly timed header. What stood out to us was his incredible work rate, winning 11 duels and constantly driving his team forward. He created three chances and was the engine room of this Real Madrid side. Simply world-class.

Aurélien Tchouaméni - 7.0: The unsung hero in midfield. He did the dirty work quietly and effectively, breaking up play and recycling possession with a 90% pass accuracy. He provided the platform for the likes of Bellingham and Rodrygo to shine. It wasn't a flashy performance, but it was an intelligent and crucial one for the team's balance.

Arda Güler - 7.0: He was a livewire before his substitution. The young Turk showed flashes of his immense talent, creating three chances for his teammates with some incisive passing. He was always looking to make things happen and took players on. It was a very promising display and we were a little surprised to see him taken off.

Forwards

Vinicius Junior - 8.0: A constant menace down the left flank. His direct running and dribbling caused nightmares for Sevilla's defence, completing five successful dribbles and winning nine duels. He created a big chance and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet himself. From our perspective, his energy and trickery were key to stretching the opposition.

Kylian Mbappé - 7.0: A strange game for the superstar. He got his goal from the penalty spot with no fuss. However, he was incredibly wasteful in open play, missing two big chances and taking eight shots in total. On another night, he could have had a hat-trick. It felt like he was trying a bit too hard at times, but a goal is a goal.

Rodrygo - 9.0: Our clear Man of the Match. This was a breathtaking display of creativity and skill. His assist for Bellingham's goal was a thing of beauty. He then won the penalty with his quick feet to put the game to bed. With five key passes and three big chances created, he was the architect of the victory. An absolutely sensational performance.

Substitutes

Eduardo Camavinga - 6.5: Came on for Güler and immediately set up a great chance for Mbappé. Looked sharp and full of energy.

Manager

X. Alonso Olano - 8.0: His team selection and tactics were spot on. Real Madrid looked balanced, controlled, and lethal in attack. His players executed the game plan perfectly, dominating from start to finish. He managed the game well, and his side never looked in any danger of dropping points. An excellent night's work.
