Real Madrid beat Barcelona in LaLiga Clasico
Kylian Mbappe scored twice in the 2-1 win to inflict Barcelona's first domestic defeat and cut the gap at the top to three points.
In a Clasico match at Camp Nou, LaLiga leaders Barcelona faced Real Madrid, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice to secure a 2-1 victory for Mourinho's side. Mbappe opened the scoring before halftime before slotting home late on to end Barcelona's domestic winning streak. Despite suffering a second straight defeat following a loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Barcelona remained in third place behind Atletico Madrid and Barca's coach Hansi Flick.
The game started cautiously, with Barcelona's defender Pau Cubarsi often thwarting Mbappe. Marc Cucurella, playing without suspended Vinicius Junior, frequently marked Real Madrid's French forward. Anthony Gordon's backheel to Raphinha, who narrowly missed the goal, provided a scare for Real Madrid. The Catalans had a chance to draw level when Yamal miscued a shot but missed wide.
With Barca regaining momentum, substitute Gabriel Jesus' misplaced pass allowed Madrid to score via Eduard Camavinga, who cleverly played the ball back to Mbappe for his second goal.
