Kylian Mbappe scored twice, including a Panenka penalty, as Real Madrid beat Sevilla 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2026, according to Gulf News.

What happened

Arda Guler opened the scoring after 30 minutes, converting a lofted ball from Jude Bellingham and Yan Diomande. Yan Diomande added a long‑range strike before Mbappe produced a roulette‑style finish from the edge of the box and later converted a chipped penalty. The Turkish playmaker later scored a second goal, completing a 4-1 win.

What the reports add

Gulf News noted that Guler avoided a red card for an alleged elbow on Sevilla midfielder Peque; VAR did not recommend a review because camera angles were insufficient. The outlet also reported that Mourinho started Diomande on the left in place of suspended Vinícius Júnior and placed Guler in a midfield pivot.

What was said

“We played a great game… we are a team and we work to improve, we've only been together for a very short time,” Mourinho told Real Madrid TV, Gulf News said.
Sevilla coach Luis Garcia Plaza complained, “We were denied the chance to play a match of 11 against 10 from the 25th minute,” also reported by Gulf News.

How it came about

Real Madrid entered the match after a controversial red card to Vinícius Júnior in the previous week’s game, which sparked fan protests against La Liga president Javier Tebas. The victory moved Madrid into third place, six points behind Barcelona ahead of next weekend’s El Clásico. Earlier this season, Real had lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in a derby that also featured Mourinho’s criticism of refereeing, as covered in Felo’s earlier report Atletico Beat Real Madrid 2-1 in Tense Derby.
