At the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Real Madrid will play Sevilla in La Liga on Sunday to wrap out a triumphant 2024.
ESPN Desportes will begin airing coverage of the match at 10 a.m. ET (start time is 10:15 ET), while ESPN+, Fubo TV (FREE trial), Sling TV (introductory discount), and DirecTV Stream (FREE trial and discount) will all stream it live.
Following their victory in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup on Wednesday in Qatar, Los Blancos will host Garcia Pimienta’s squad. Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Jr. all scored as Real Madrid defeated Pachuca of Mexico 3-0.
They will now focus on La Liga, where they are now in third place with 37 points, one point behind Barcelona in first place (41 points) and Atletico Madrid in second.
Real Madrid’s last league game ended in a 3-3 draw against Rayo Vallecano on December 14, missing the opportunity to pass Barcelona at the top of the table following the leaders’ unexpected home loss to Leganes.
Real Madrid scored three goals in the next twenty minutes (Frederico Valverde, 39 minutes; Jude Bellingham, 45 minutes; and Rodrygo, 56 minutes) to break the hosts’ 2-0 advantage, which they had taken with goals at the four and thirty-six minute marks. The game was tied at 64 minutes by Isi Palazon.
This is a crucial match for Sevilla, who defeated Celta Vigo 1-0 last weekend thanks to a goal from Manu Bueno in the 64th minute.
A victory on Sunday might move the seven-time UEFA Europa League winners within striking distance of the top six. Sevilla is presently ranked 11th in La Liga with 22 points.
It would also end a lengthy losing streak: Sevilla last defeated Real Madrid 3-0 in September 2018 thanks to goals from Wissam Ben Yedder and Andre Silva (twice).
However, the last two meetings have shown that the games have been close: Los Blancos won 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu in February, and their last league game in Seville ended 1-1 in October 2023.
