Mbappe's late goal gives Real Madrid victory at Barcelona

Barcelona and Real Madrid met in an exciting El Clasico match at the Spotify Camp Nou in La Liga. In the 41st minute, Gerard Martin tried to hit Diomande's cross but the ball struck Mbappe, and Real Madrid took the lead. The home side restored the balance through Raphinha's shot, but Real Madrid had the final word.

In the 87th minute, after a fine piece of skill from Jude Bellingham, Mbappe finished a pass back from Eduardo Camavinga and scored the goal that brought his team all three points. After the goal, the celebrations on the Real Madrid side reached their peak. Head coach Jose Mourinho slid on his knees to show his delight, his coaching staff ran onto the pitch, and players argued with Barcelona supporters.

With this win, Real Madrid cut the points gap to leader Barcelona to three. Atletico Madrid are second, two points behind Barcelona. For Hansi Flick's side, the result made a difficult week worse, following the end of their 11-match winning run at the start of the season against Paris Saint-Germain.

Real Madrid's victory at Barcelona, their first in three years there, was also an important milestone for the club. The match also featured contentious moments, including Joao Cancelo's hard challenge on Yan Diomande, which went unpunished. Even so, Mbappe's late goal gave Real Madrid the joy they earned on this difficult away trip.
