Real Madrid looks to end 2024 with a win over a dangerous Seville team that has struggled with consistency this season. Atletico Madrid extended their lead at the top of the table to four points with a big win over Barcelona last night, so a win is crucial.
Carlo Ancelotti has had to select a starting line-up without Vinicius Jr., who was suspended after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Rayo Vallecano.
Real Madrid starting eleven:
1. Courtois
17. Luke V.
14. Tchouameni
22. Rudiger
6. Camavinga
8. Valverde
19. Ceballos
21. Brahim
5. Bellingham
11. Rodrygo
9. Mbappe.
Our starting XI!

Carlo Ancelotti is starting to get players back from injury, with left-back Ferland Mendy the latest to return from a layoff.
The Frenchman has missed the last three games after picking up an injury against Girona and made the bench for today’s match, with midfielder Eduardo Camavinga set to play at left back.
It looks like Real Madrid’s David Alaba is about to return, but this match comes a little too soon. When the team returns in January, he should play for the club after 12 months on the sidelines.
