Latest news on Real Madrid: the white team hosts Sevilla this Sunday, October 18, at 9:00 p.m., at the Santiago Bernabéu, with the obligation to win in order not to arrive at the Clásico even further behind FC Barcelona. Jose Mourinho's team occupies the fourth position in LaLiga, with 18 points, six behind the leader, after a start to the season marked by irregularity despite the investment made in signings.

The white team has achieved six victories and two defeats in the first eight matchdays, but several wins have come after struggling during a large part of the games. The last comeback against Roma (3-4), after being down 3-1, once again highlighted the team's problems in imposing its game from the start.

Real Madrid needs to win to stay close to Barcelona

Real Madrid faces the match against Sevilla in a delicate situation. With 18 points out of 24 possible, the whites are behind Barcelona and do not have much room to keep losing ground before the direct clash on October 25th.

The standings reflect a significant distance from the expectations generated during the summer. The club made a considerable investment to reinforce different positions, but the collective performance still does not match the expenditure.

The main concern lies in how to achieve victories. Mourinho has seen how his team needed to solve several matches in the final minutes, failing to maintain sustained dominance throughout the 90 minutes.

The most recent example came in the Champions League against Roma. Madrid was losing 3-1 in the 83rd minute but managed to turn the score around to win 3-4 thanks to a comeback led by Arda Güler, Endrick, and Carlos Espi.

Although the three points in Europe allowed them to maintain a perfect record in the competition, the match once again raised a concerning conclusion: Real Madrid needed to be two goals down to showcase its best offensive performance.

Sevilla arrives at the Bernabeu ready to capitalize on doubts

The opponent does not inspire optimism either. Sevilla holds the fifth position with 14 points, only four behind Madrid, and has not suffered defeat as a visitor this season, with two victories and two draws.

Mourinho's team, on the other hand, has won all four of its home games in LaLiga. Maintaining that record will be crucial to prevent Sevilla from closing the gap between the two teams.

Additionally, the Portuguese coach will have to face the match without Vinicius Junior, who was suspended for four games after his expulsion against Villarreal. The Brazilian will also miss the Clásico against Barcelona, forcing the coach to seek alternatives in attack.

Mourinho faces a decisive week before the Clásico

The schedule does not offer respite for Real Madrid. After Sevilla, they will host RB Leipzig on Wednesday, October 21, in the Champions League and visit FC Barcelona on Sunday, October 25.

The current six-point difference from the leader makes the Clásico an opportunity to close the gap but also a risk of falling further behind in the standings.

Before facing that showdown, Real Madrid must overcome Sevilla and see if Éder Militão, called up after almost six months out, can regain minutes to arrive in better shape for the match against Barcelona.
