Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham scored late goals to help Real Madrid beat a spirited nine-man Sevilla side 2-0 at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Carlo Ancelotti’s final away game in charge.

Despite seeing Loic Bade and Isaac Romero sent off early in each half, Sevilla frustrated Real until Mbappe finally broke through with a low drive from outside the box in the 75th minute—his 29th La Liga goal of the season. Bellingham added a second with a header from substitute Gonzalo Garcia’s cross.

Sevilla, whose players were recently attacked by fans, had secured safety with a win over Las Palmas midweek but endured more disappointment as early red cards and missed chances cost them.

Real’s hopes of retaining the title had already ended after Barcelona’s win over Espanyol. Ancelotti will now bow out at home to Real Sociedad before taking over as Brazil manager.
