Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid: Mbappe scores twice
Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 in El Clasico to claim their third straight La Liga win. Mbappe was the match's standout with two goals, and it was Barcelona's first defeat this season.
Barcelona and Real Madrid met in El Clasico in Matchday 10 of Spain's LaLiga. Hansi Flick's side aimed to take three points in front of their own fans and extend their unbeaten league run to 10 wins. Barcelona had won 7 of their last 10 meetings with their rivals and wanted to keep their home unbeaten record going.
Turkish international Arda Guler started in the starting XI for Real Madrid and stayed on the pitch until the 90+4th minute. The match was decided by Kylian Mbappe. The French star found the net in the 41st and 87th minutes to give his side a 2-1 victory. Raphinha scored Barcelona's only goal in the 61st minute.
With this result, Real Madrid recorded their third consecutive win, rising to 24 points and into 3rd place. Cutting the gap to leaders Barcelona to 3 points gives the white side short-term hope in the league. Barcelona suffered their first defeat of the season and remain on 27 points.
In the next LaLiga round, Barcelona host Alaves. Real Madrid travel to face Racing Santander.
