La Liga 2024-25: Mbappe and Bellingham give Real Madrid 2-0 win over nine-man Sevilla
With leader Barcelona having already secured the title after Thursday's 2-0 win at city rivals Espanyol, Real entered the game missing several regular starters, including Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.
Sevilla was a man down after 11 minutes when Bade held Mbappe to stop a quick counter-attack, with the referee considering it was a clear scoring opportunity for Real and flashing a straight red card at the French defender.
However, despite dominating possession, Real struggled to create many chances with Mbappe and Endrick missing clear opportunities before the break.
Sevilla had a second player sent off three minutes after the restart when half-time substitute Isaac Romero's unpleasant studs-up tackle on Aurelien Tchouameni earned another straight red card.

Five minutes after hitting the crossbar with a shot in the 70th minute, Mbappe finally managed to break the deadlock, slotting a low strike from outside the box just inside the right post.
In the 87th minute, 21-year-old Real Madrid academy forward Gonzalo Garcia crossed for Bellingham to tap in from close range to wrap up the win for the visitors.
Ahead of the final weekend of the season, Champion Barca has 85 points, four ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, with Atletico Madrid in third on 73 points. Athletic Bilbao, on 70 points, and Villarreal, on 67, complete the top five, which will represent Spain next season in the Champions League.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Live Score, Premier League: Arteta's Arsenal take on Amorim's United to start new season
Manchester United FC vs Arsenal FC Live Score Updates, Premier League: Arsenal and Manchester United go head to head in the first big ticket clash of the new Premier League season with both sides desperate to get their campaigns on the right foot. Arsenal have been the most consistent team in the last 3 years, finishing as runners-up in all the previous 3 editions. They, however, are pretty short on the silverware count since Mikel Arteta took over in 2019 with just one FA Cup to show. With the Gunners finally signing a proper No.9 in Viktor Gyokeres, the pressure will be on Arteta to deliver this year United under Ruben Amorim, meanwhile, will be looking to arrest the slide they are on since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2012. Since then, United have played hosts to a revolving door of coaches who have failed to spark them to life. Last season, they finished a lowly 15, their worst since the advent of the Premier League era. Super 6: How Arsenal's six recent transfers might finally take them to the promised land L-R: Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi are two of the six new major signings by Arsenal. (Credit: Arsenal Media) 'I always want to score,' might sound like a relatively run of the mill quote from new Arsenal signing Viktor Gyokeres but it might be a warning shot by the Gunners to the Premier League as they get set for another crack at winning the elusive league title as well as Champions League silverware. At long last, they have a No.9, the first out and out striker since 2022 when they brought in Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. After that signing underwhelmed, Arsenal had to do with playing Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino up front, which severely limited their goal scoring chances. The Gunners are currently on a warpath in the transfer market, already signing 6 players before July has even ended. The closest they got to this transfer spree was back in the 2022/23 season when they snapped up Fabio Viera, Marquinhos, Matt Turner, Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko. That year was supposed to be their season but they finished second in the league.

Unfortunately, there are no television broadcasters for this match in India. Real Madrid vs Osasuna: H2H stats Both Real Madrid and Osasuna had faced each other in 86 games so far, across competitions. The 36-time Spanish champions, Real Madrid, have dominated Osasuna by winning 53 of those matches. Meantime, Osasuna have won only 13 matches, while 20 matches ended in a draw. The last victory for Osasuna against Real Madrid was back in January 2011. Team news and preview Real Madrid, under the new management of Xabi Alonso, comes into the season aiming to bounce back after finishing second in La Liga last season, just four points behind champions Barcelona. The Los Blancos have strengthened their squad notably, including the high-profile signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, while facing some injury setbacks such as the absence of Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and Ferland Mendy. Antonio Rudiger will miss the match due to a red card suspension from last season. Despite these issues, Real Madrid boasts a star-studded lineup with key players like Vinícius Júnior, Kylian Mbappé, and Rodrygo expected to lead the attack. Osasuna, meanwhile, narrowly missed out on European qualification last season, finishing ninth, and are targeting a top-half finish again. The team remains largely unchanged from last year, with their key scorer Ante Budimir and playmaker Aimar Oroz still in the squad. Osasuna is expected to try a defensive approach to contain Real Madrid's attacking threat, likely "parking the bus" in an attempt to frustrate the hosts. Possible lineups Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois (GK), Éder Militão, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Deyverson Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Federico Valverde, Arda Güler, Fran García, Vinícius Jr., Kylian Mbappé, Gonzalo García Osasuna: Sergio Herrera, Alejandro Catena, Flavien Boyomo, Juan Cruz, Valentin Rosier, Lucas Torró, Jon Moncayola, Abel Bretones, Rubén García, Aimar Oroz, Ante Budimir
