Real Madrid vs Sevilla Key Battles to Watch

Denzel Dumfries vs Felix Correia

Correia’s pace and direct running could trouble Madrid down the flank. Dumfries will need to balance his attacking runs with defensive responsibility to prevent Sevilla from exploiting the space behind him.

Jude Bellingham vs Sevilla’s Midfield

Bellingham could become Madrid’s main creative outlet. Agoumé and Kochorashvili will aim to restrict his movement, disrupt passing lanes and prevent him from finding space around the penalty area.

Kylian Mbappe vs Sevilla’s Defence

Mbappé’s pace and finishing could pose a major threat if he features. Castrín and Salas will need to maintain their defensive shape and limit the space available for him to attack.
