Real Madrid close out 2024 on Sunday afternoon as they welcome Sevilla to the Spanish capital in La Liga.
It has been a great week for Los Blancos heading into the weekend’s games as they were crowned world champions once again. 3-0 victory over Mexican side Pachuca In the Intercontinental Cup final.
The night before, Vinicius Jr Crowned the FIFA Men’s Player of the Year To somewhat atone for his Ballon d’Or snub.
The visitors have endured a mixed start to the season so far, but it’s worth remembering that they finished 2023/24 in 14th after losing their final four games of the campaign. Manager García Pimienta is of Catalan descent and will be keen to do his former employers a favor this weekend.

Real Madrid Once again they are without Vinny Jr., who misses Sunday not through injury but through suspension. The Brazilian picked up his fifth yellow card of the La Liga season at Rayo Vallecano last weekend.
However, Madrid welcomed Kylian Mbappe back in midweek, and the Frenchman should be fine to start again on Sunday.
Ferland Mendy could also be in contention to return to Ancelotti’s matchday squad, but the hosts are still without long-term absentees Dani Carvajal, Ader Militão and David Alaba.
Real Madrid Predicted Lineup vs Sevilla (4-3-3): humble; Vazquez, Choumeni, Rudiger, Garcia; Valverde, Kamavinga, Bellingham; Guler, Mbappe, Rodrygo.
Sevilla are unlikely to welcome back any of their injured stars for their final game in 2024.
Djibril So, Adria Pedrosa, Chidera Ijuk, Rafa Mir and Tanguy Nianzhou are set to miss the trip to the capital.
Dodi Lucebaccio has been Sevilla’s main man this term and will continue on the right, while Isaac Romero could return to the starting XI and lead the visitors’ frontline. Manu Bueno, 20, was the match-winner against Celta and is set to make another start this weekend.
Jesus Navas is preparing for his 943rd and final senior appearance on Sunday before his mid-season retirement.
Sevilla predicted lineup against Real Madrid (4-3-3): Fernandez; Montiel, Bade, Gudelj, Salas; Well, Agom, Saul; Navas, Romero, Leucabaccio.
Sevilla recently gave a good account of himself Atlético Madrid Before trying to lose in the final stages, and they will be aiming to take advantage of a Madrid side that could be a little worse for wear following their recent Qatari adventures.
We shouldn’t expect the hosts to perform at their peak here, but they have at least shown signs of life with the start of Mbappe in recent weeks.
The visitors haven’t been the most exciting watches this season, and lack the firepower needed to damage a defensive structure that can penetrate suspiciously. This could be a Madrid win that doesn’t need to shift out of second gear.
