Real Madrid will wrap up a successful 2024 with a La Liga game against Sevilla this weekend at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Los Blancos will host Garcia Pimienta's team after clinching the FIFA Intercontinental Cup on Wednesday in Qatar. Real Madrid defeated Mexico's Pachuca 3-0, with Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Jr all finding the net.

That victory marked Real Madrid's fifth trophy of 2024, after winning the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga, the UEFA Champions League, and the UEFA Super Cup. Notably, the club's achievements in 2024 have equaled their best-ever haul in a single calendar year.

Their focus now shifts back to La Liga, where they currently sit third with 37 points, just one point behind Atletico Madrid in second and Barcelona in first.

Last time out in the league, Real Madrid drew 3-3 away at Rayo Vallecano and missed the chance to overtake Barcelona at the top of the table after the leaders suffered a surprising home defeat to Leganes.

Meanwhile, Sevilla, currently placed 11th in La Liga with 22 points, face Real Madrid on the back of a 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo last weekend. A win against Los Blancos could take the seven-time UEFA Europa League winners within touching distance of the top six.

It's been some time since Sevilla tasted victory against Real Madrid, with their last win coming in September 2018. That game saw Los Nervionenses defeat Los Blancos 3-0 on home soil, with Andre Silva (twice) and Wissam Ben Yedder getting on the scoresheet.

The most recent La Liga match between Real Madrid and Sevilla was back in February, when Los Blancos picked up a 1-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu. Their previous league match in Seville took place in October 2023 and ended 1-1.

Here's a look at the last five meetings between Real Madrid and Sevilla in La Liga.
