Mbappe Magic: Solo Wonder Goal and Panenka Fire Real Madrid Past Sevilla

Kylian Mbappe produced a moment of pure magic as Real Madrid thrashed Sevilla 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, climbing to third in La Liga ahead of next weekend's Clasico.

Arda Guler had opened the scoring with a top-corner strike from the edge of the box when Mbappe took over. The French forward collected a flick from Jude Bellingham, span past defenders with a roulette on the edge of the area, and calmly rolled the ball home in the 37th minute.

Two goals, two ways to remember

Mbappe added his second with a chipped Panenka penalty in the 63rd minute before Yan Diomande fired a rocket to complete the scoring — after Manu Bueno had briefly given Sevilla hope at 3-1. It was a complete attacking display from Jose Mourinho's side, who were without suspended winger Vinicius Junior.

All eyes on the Clasico

Madrid are six points behind leaders Barcelona, who thrashed Real Betis 5-2 on Saturday, with Atletico sandwiched between the giants in second. With a Champions League game on Wednesday and then the trip to Camp Nou, defender Dean Huijsen called it 'a very important week' — and on this evidence, Madrid are hitting form at the right time.
