Main Points
Real Madrid secured a 2‑1 victory over Barcelona in the latest El Clásico, with Kylian Mbappé scoring twice, including an 87th‑minute winner. The win kept Real Madrid in third place in La Liga, one point behind league leaders Barcelona and two points behind second‑placed Atlético Madrid. Mbappé opened the scoring four minutes before half‑time when a low cross from Yan Diomande found the French striker after a mis‑cleared attempt by Barcelona defender Gerard Martín. He followed up with a shot that hit the post, and Barcelona’s teenage winger Lamine Yamal missed a close‑range opportunity on the other side of the penalty area. Barcelona equalised 16 minutes into the second half when captain Raphinha collected a pass from Pedri and fired a shot past the legs of Jude Bellingham into the far corner. Shortly after, Martín’s header was denied by a one‑handed save from Andriy Lunin, who was starting in place of first‑choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who was ruled out with illness. With the score level, a skillful move from Bellingham set up substitute Eduardo Camavinga, who delivered a cross that Mbappé finished into an empty net. Real’s manager José Mourinho celebrated the win with a small knee slide and a fist pump. The result leaves Barcelona with a two‑point advantage over Atlético Madrid after ten matches, while Real Madrid remains one point behind the league leaders.
