Mbappe's goals help Real Madrid end Barcelona's unbeaten run

Kylian Mbappe's two goals gave Real Madrid a 2-1 win over Barcelona in El Clasico. The French star opened the scoring before half-time and, late in the match, scored his second to secure the victory for the home side. Raphinha had equalised for the champions, but that goal was not enough to change the result.

The match ended Barcelona's unbeaten run in the league. The team had started well, winning their first nine matches. However, their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League pointed to a difficult week for Hansi Flick's side. The Catalans have now suffered their second consecutive defeat.

Real Madrid are third in the table. They are three points behind leaders Barcelona and one point behind Atletico Madrid. Jose Mourinho's first match in this derby ended in victory after his team's organised and bold display.

After the match, Mourinho said he was pleased with his team's performance. The coach stressed the importance of playing out from the back and staying calm against the opponent's high press. He said Barcelona should learn lessons from this defeat.

With this win, Real Madrid have now won in all competitions for the fifth consecutive time. Having gone two seasons without a trophy, the club is trying to rise again under Mourinho. The result has raised hopes that the team is heading in the right direction.
