Saturday Recap
Real followed their Spanish Super Cup success in Saudi Arabia with a tight victory over a tough opponent at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
The home team failed to produce their best form after returning from the Middle East but did just enough to secure the points.
Casemiro was Zinedine Zidane's match-winner, and the Brazil international was twice in the right place for his side's goals.
The 27-year-old broke the deadlock after 57 minutes, combining perfectly with Luka Jovic, who back-heeled the ball into his team-mate's path for the opener.
Sevilla had the best of the game before that point and were rewarded with a 64th-minute equaliser through Luuk de Jong.
However, Casemiro struck again after meeting Lucas Vazquez's cross, heading home to fire Los Blancos into top spot in the division.
Atletico limped to an unexpected defeat at Eibar, and the visitors were out of sorts during their away travels after returning from Saudi Arabia.
The Basque team had the lead in only the 10th minute when Esteban Burgos smashed home Sergi Enrich's flicked header from a corner. A VAR check had Eibar nervous, but the goal was onside and awarded.
Diego Simeone's side were poor throughout and appeared disorganised against Eibar's aerial threat from set pieces.
The minnows deservedly held the lead at the interval after asking their superior opponents multiple questions at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium.
Atleti remained strangely subdued in the second half, and like their near-neighbours Real, whom they played in the Spanish Super Cup final—they couldn't find top gear.
Alvaro Morata had the visitors' best chance of grabbing an equaliser, but the striker failed to trouble goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic with his header.
Edu Exposito sealed the deal for Eibar in the last minute. The midfielder latched on to a cleared corner and fired his shot from the edge of the box.
The victory helps Eibar pull away from the relegation fight, and they now stand seven points clear of the drop zone.
