Real Madrid stunned Barcelona with a 2-1 victory at Camp Nou, ending the Catalans’ unbeaten league run. Kylian Mbappé scored twice, sealing the win and reigniting Madrid’s title hopes under Jose Mourinho.
French forward Kylian Mbappé was the star of the night, scoring in the 41st and 87th minutes. His brace not only secured the win but also marked his 100th goal for Real Madrid across competitions. Raphinha had equalised for Barcelona in the 61st minute, but Mbappé’s late strike silenced the home crowd.
Jose Mourinho’s side showed discipline and resilience, frustrating Barcelona’s attack. Despite missing Vinícius Júnior through suspension, Madrid maintained composure and capitalised on key moments. The victory was Mourinho’s first Clasico win since returning to Madrid, extending his unbeaten run against Barcelona in recent encounters.
