Real Madrid break Barcelona's unbeaten run at Camp Nou

Real Madrid became the first side to beat Barcelona this LaLiga season when they edged the classic 2‑1 at the Camp Nou on Sunday evening. Kylian Mbappé netted both goals, giving the visitors a vital win that leaves them three points behind the league leaders.

Mbappé's brace decides the classic

Mbappé opened the scoring in the 41st minute of the first half. His strike came after a low cross from Yan Diomande saw Gerard Martín’s clearance ricochet onto the French forward, marking his 99th goal for Real Madrid. The deflection left goalkeeper Andriy Lunin stranded.

Real Madrid had already tested Lunin in the opening stages. Anthony Gordon fired a low drive in the seventh minute that was comfortably saved, and repeated his effort in the 14th minute, forcing another intervention from the Ukrainian keeper.

Barcelona's equaliser and missed chances

Barcelona responded 16 minutes into the second half. Pedri delivered a precise pass to Raphinha, who found space in the box and slotted the ball into the far corner, leaving Lunin with no chance. The goal came after a quick corner that freed the Brazilian winger.
