Kylian Mbappé Leads Real Madrid to 2-1 Victory Over Barcelona in Thrilling El Clasico

Two goals from Kylian Mbappe, one off a rebound and the other a decisive one in the 88th minute, ended Barça's unbeaten run, as they were always chasing the game and ended up losing (1-2) in their worst match in a long time. Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid's manager, read the course of the match to perfection and short-circuited Barça, who were never at their level, and conquered Camp Nou, a stage where the Blaugrana had strung together 23 victories since May 2025. Barça started better, but the control effect faded in barely five minutes. Real Madrid allowed Barça’s center-backs to build from the back, and that is where Mourinho’s team found its vein, with Gerard Martín as the Achilles’ heel, only Cubarsí created, and midfielders Rodri and Pedri did not show up. Real Madrid surprised with Bernardo Silva's inclusion in midfield.
