Real Madrid are set to play host to Sevilla at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano on Sunday for their latest La Liga game.
Real Madrid come into this game on the back of a 2-0 loss to Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea yesterday in the second leg of the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League. Goals from German striker Timo Werner and English midfielder Mason Mount sealed the deal for Chelsea, who will now face Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the final.
Sevilla, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to Marcelino's Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in their latest La Liga game. A late second-half goal from Spain international Inaki Williams secured the win for Athletic Bilbao.
