Barcelona are sweating on the fitness of Lionel Messi
Messi came on for Ousmane Dembele just before the hour mark but Sevilla could have been three up, Jesus Navas missing the best chance as his one-on-one was cleared off the line by Gerard Pique.
Despite missing six regular starters, which included captain Sergio Ramos as well, Gareth Bale stepped up with two goals while Karim Benzema found the back of the net once to guide Real Madrid home.
Lionel Messi started the match on the bench, and Sevilla took a 2-0 lead in the second half.
Messi missed Argentina's two friendly internationals over the Federation Internationale de Football Association break with a hamstring strain, but Valverde says he always planned on bringing on the club's all-time top scorer.
Defender Samuel Umtiti made it easy for Franco Vazquez to give Sevilla the lead as he left the midfielder unmarked in the area, and the Frenchman was also slow to react in the lead-up to the second goal, scored by Luis Muriel on the rebound. They could have punished us on the break but we had to take that risk and when you do that, there is always a possibility that you will be caught out. It's true that we talk a lot about it, but it was just to know what he thinks of Barca.
"That is what Leo is all about as he keeps on showing us again and again".

It's also one of the nine import films which earned above 200 million yuan this year in the world's second-largest movie market. Directed by Kabir Khan , Bajrangi Bhaijaan also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan and Harshali Malhotra in the lead roles.
"I had planned to bring on Messi anyway", Valverde told Movistar.
Valverde says Barca's never-say-die-attitude is proof that despite beginning the weekend with an 11 point lead over second placed Atletico Madrid they don't think the title is already wrapped up.
Bale exhibited his phenomenal pace and power to race on to an exquisite through ball from old Tottenham Hotspur team mate Luka Modric and fire in the opening goal for Real against Las Palmas in the 26th minute.
They would have been deserving winners here and, in truth, could have been out of sight had Muriel and Vazquez finished any number of unsafe breaks in the second half.
He had been left out of the starting line-up due to a hamstring complaint, with coach Ernesto Valverde perhaps keeping one eye on Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final against Roma.
