Real Madrid is already celebrating and beats Sevilla (4-2)

Just a few weeks ago, the future of Real Madrid was worrying and today, 2025 is presented as a year full of expectations and titles to win. Ancelotti asked to arrive alive at the end of the year and once done, heWhat opens is hope for your team. The Italian, who had been thinking about things for months, without finding the click, has already found it. Against Sevilla, The Intercontinental champion played one of the best matches of the season, with a first part of an outstanding level and a calmer second part. He played this with the calm of someone who knows what he is like and what he has to do to advance along the path of victory.

The good feelings of Real Madrid They go parallel to the good moment that Mbappé has finally reached. The Frenchman has left behind that slight apathy with which he reacted to many plays and has once again been the forward who never tires of offering his teammates unchecks. And, also, the one who scores. The game was still deciding where to go, chen Mbappé picked up a ball that, for another human, without a run, looked like it was far from the goaland nailed it into Sevilla’s squad. García Pimienta’s men are not there for heroics or to get up after a goal against at the Bernabéu. It was a team with little passion, although in the end they left, with two goals and a shot on the post.. The last minutes, when the changes had changed everything, can help put your game in perspective.

Ancelotti’s team used, especially in the first half, all the resources to do damage: long balls, inside combinations, counters and even set pieces, the subject that gave them half the championship the previous season and that I had barely passed in this one. That’s why, after Fede Valverde’s goal, everyone went to hug Mauri, the staff member in charge of these issues.. He ran to Ancelotti, who is no longer old enough for that. But if your team also recovers that virtue, things are starting to go well. The play was a corner kick in which Camavinga stood in the corner of the area and Valverde made him close to cover the center backs. Nobody, therefore, took care of him. But, suddenly, he appeared, when the ball had reached Camavinga on the edge of the area, and There was no defender in charge of covering the player who best finished from outside the area, with permission from Mbappé.

Madrid really enjoyed the first half, in which they played fast, pressed high and scored three goals. Ancelotti has discovered Ceballos in recent weeks, like those late loves, in which one realizes the value of the other, after years together without paying much attention to each other.. Ancelotti did not see Ceballos when he had his three historic midfielders, but now, after the emergencies, that Modric’s age is already undisguisable and that he is trying to convince Tchouameni to be central, Ceballos has become more of a resource than useful to occupy that zone of two with Fede Valverde. With him, it’s not so much muscle anymore and there’s some creation. And Real Madrid is doing much better.

Ceballos’s bet looks like it is serious, because the other two men who were ahead of him in that position, Tchouameni and Camavinga, played in other areas. The first as a center back, still with some mistakes that are costly, but still forgivable, and the second as a left back, that position in which he believed he would not play again and against Sevilla, with Fran García and Mendy in the call, was the headline. The problem for Camavinga is that he is a great left back and, in his time at the club, he has had better performances there than in the center of the field.

Good games confirm decisions and the first 45 minutes of the white team were a delight. There is a way to measure how Ancelotti’s team’s match went: see how Lucas Vázquez had it. If it suffers, it means that the opponent has the possibility of attacking in that area and doing damage. If he enjoys it, if he shows off his undoubted virtues as a winger, it means that Madrid is overwhelming the opponent.

Lucas excelled, giving the third goal to Rodrygo, who like Mbappé, like the rest of the team, has returned with still time to conquer everything.

Madrid was so generous in the first half that in the second, despite Brahim’s goal, another one that deserves applause, they let themselves go. Ancelotti’s changes: Asencio as right back; Valverde, for a while on the left… they disrupted the game. Actually, it was Navas’s entrance that did it. It was no longer a game, it was goodbye. The Bernabéu applauded him.
