Kylian Mbappe scored twice as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou, with his second-half strike in the 87th minute proving decisive. Raphinha scored for Barcelona in the second half. The result ended Barcelona's bid to become the first team to win their opening ten La Liga matches. They had previously matched Real Madrid's nine consecutive victories from 1968/69. Madrid remained in third place but moved within three points of the leaders. Atletico Madrid sit in second, two points behind Barcelona.
Elsewhere in Europe, Bayern Munich regained first place in the Bundesliga with a 3-1 away victory over Freiburg, though striker Harry Kane failed to score. Bayern's goals came from Dayot Upamecano, Serge Gnabry, and Michael Olise, with Gnabry notching his 100th Bundesliga goal. Bayern are tied on 17 points with Borussia Dortmund, who beat Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0. Bayern continued without manager Vincent Kompany, who collapsed during training on Friday. Freiburg have now lost three consecutive matches after winning eight of their first nine games in all competitions.
