Sevilla had chances of their own, but Ruben Vargas failed to convert a close-range opportunity, while their goalkeeper, Odysseas Vlachodimos, produced several crucial saves to keep the scoreline from becoming more one-sided.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side continued to threaten before the interval, but Mbappé had another effort blocked and Endrick failed to convert a rebound, shooting over the crossbar. Sevilla also came close through Lucien Agoumé, whose powerful attempt was denied by an excellent save.
