"Footage from earlier in the day shows the squad training at the club's Valdebebas base, with key players including Vinicius Jr, Kylian Mbappe and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois taking part in the session. “It’s the last game of the year, the last game of this demanding period, and we want to finish well,” Alonso told reporters. “We want to leave with a good feeling so we can start 2026 with energy and optimism for all the challenges we're going to face,” he added. Alonso warned that Sevilla would pose a tough challenge, pointing to their physical intensity across the pitch. “They play a demanding game, with a lot of one-on-ones and players who take you on in duels,” he continued. “They also have good players with the ball, so we need to play well.” The coach said final decisions on squad availability would be taken after an additional training session, as several players continue their recovery. Real Madrid head into the final fixture of 2025 in second place in La Liga on 39 points, four behind leaders Barcelona. Sevilla sits ninth after 17 matches."
