Vinicius Junior led Real Madrid to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in the penultimate round of La Liga 2026.
The Brazilian star scored the match’s only goal in the 14th minute, thanks to an assist from Kylian Mbappé. The Frenchman returned to the starting XI following the controversy surrounding his benching in the previous game against Real Oviedo.
With this strike, Vinicius brings his season tally to 22 goals (16 in La Liga, 5 in the Champions League, and 1 in the Spanish Super Cup), alongside 14 assists.

Despite Vinicius’s brilliance, Mbappé remains the club’s top scorer and most influential player this season, with an astounding 41 goals and 7 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions.
This win brings Real Madrid to 83 points, firmly securing their second-place finish. Meanwhile, Sevilla remains in 13th place with 43 points. Their survival in La Liga is still at stake, as they desperately need a win in the final round to avoid relegation complications.
Real Madrid will conclude their season at the Santiago Bernabéu against Athletic Bilbao, while Sevilla travels to face Celta Vigo.
