Real Madrid has taken advantage of its last match of 2024 to thrash Sevilla at Santiago Bernabéu, and José Luis Sánchez's reaction hasn't been long in coming. The renowned journalist from El Chiringuito used his X account at the end of the match to praise the great end of the year for the whites: "They're flying!".
José Luis Sánchez was blunt about the match against Sevilla: "Festival to close a historic 2024. A superb first half was enough to finish off a subdued Sevilla". He didn't stop there, adding: "Short and misleading scoreline with a Mbappé who could've scored more goals. Rodry, Brahim, and Fede. Exemplary farewell from Real Madrid to Jesús Navas".
José Luis Sánchez isn't wrong after Real Madrid's exhibition against Sevilla. Big match to bid farewell to a great 2024 at Santiago Bernabéu, securing second place in LaLiga and surpassing Barcelona. A misleading 4-2, as Ancelotti's team deserved to have scored more goals on a magnificent afternoon in the capital of Spain.

"Greatness! Real Madrid Bernabéu crowd... Standing ovation and applause for Jesús Navas's career. Befitting his trajectory. Salute from the center of the field RESPECT", he pointed out.
4-2: This Was Real Madrid's Victory against Sevilla
Bernabéu witnessed a great match against Sevilla. From the very first moment, Ancelotti's team started dominating the match, taking the lead 10 minutes in with a strike from Mbappé. If Kylian scored from outside the box, his teammate Fede Valverde did the same in the 20th minute with an unstoppable shot.
Before the first half ended, Rodrygo Goes contributed with his own goal, while Isaac added the consolation goal (along with a later one from Lukebakio). Shortly after the second half began, Madrid's victory continued with a great goal from Brahim Díaz, always present and available for Carlo Ancelotti.
Madrid has taken full advantage of Barça's recent defeat, finishing 2024 in second place in LaLiga. They do so with 40 points in 18 matches, two more than the culers with one less match. Meanwhile, the winter leader is Atlético, with 41 points.
