Kylian Mbappe scores twice as Real Madrid defeats Barcelona in El Clasico

On October 25, 2026, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1 at the Camp Nou, marking the Catalan team's first loss in La Liga this season. Managed by Jose Mourinho, who returned to the fixture after 13 years, Real Madrid executed a disciplined tactical plan to secure the victory, narrowing the gap with league-leading Barcelona to three points.

Kylian Mbappe was the central figure of the match, scoring both goals for the visitors. With this performance, the 27-year-old reached a personal milestone of 100 goals for Real Madrid in just 116 appearances, becoming the fourth-fastest player in club history to achieve this feat. Mbappe has now scored eight goals in seven Clasico matches, surpassing Lionel Messi’s 21st-century record for the best start to his career against the Catalan rivals.

Following the result, Real Madrid maintains its pursuit of the league title, with both the player and the club expressing that the win is a positive step but only represents three points in a long competitive season. The match intensifies the competition at the top of the table as the championship race progresses.
