Against Sevilla today, Real Madrid have looked like the all-conquering side we were accustomed to seeing blow away teams last term, completely ripping the Andalusian side apart at the Bernabeu.
Nacho Fernandez put Zinedine Zidane's side ahead in the 3rd minute against the fifth-placed side and Real went 2-0 up in the 23rd minute in glorious fashion.

Marco Asensio jinked in and out of a couple of Sevilla players in midfield before picking out the run of Cristiano Ronaldo, fresh from his fifth Ballon d'Or win.
The pass from the stupidly talented Spaniard was so perfectly-weighted, as was the take from Ronaldo, that he was pretty much celebrating before the Portuguese superstar finished emphatically.
Ronaldo would then continue his tormenting of Sevilla by scoring his 27th goal of his career against them, notching from spot after Jesus Navas handled the ball in the box.

Toni Kroos got in on the first-half rout seven minutes later, before 19-year old centre-back Achraf Hakimi added a fifth just before half-time as Los Blancos went goal-crazy.
Are Real on their way back?
