The game, played at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, marked competitive debuts for Madrid new boys Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez, who both started alongside Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema in attack.
Ronaldo saw an early chance blocked by Sevilla’s defence, before he finally got on the end of a superb Bale cross in the 30th minute, to give Carlo Ancelotti’s men the lead.
The Portuguese forward doubled his tally four minutes after the break, with a fine finish from his left foot. Benzema missed an opportunity to make it 3-0, while Ronaldo could also not complete his hat-trick, as Madrid won their first piece of silverware of the new season.
