Kylian Mbappé scored twice as Real Madrid came from behind to beat Barcelona 2-1 in a heated Clásico at Spotify Camp Nou. Mbappé's opening goal came when Gerard Martín's clearance struck him, though Real Madrid's move to create that chance had been strong. Barcelona equalised through Raphinha's snapshot, with the match becoming increasingly tense as both teams pushed for a winner.

With three minutes remaining, Jude Bellingham's skill released Eduardo Camavinga down the right. Camavinga sprinted into the area and pulled back for Mbappé to finish in the 87th minute. The goal sparked wild celebrations from Real Madrid's bench, with manager José Mourinho sliding on his knees in celebration. This was Mourinho's first win in Barcelona in thirteen years.

The victory ended Barcelona's nine-game winning run and closed Real Madrid to within three points of their rivals. Atletico Madrid are second, two points off Barcelona. Barcelona had been favoured as hosts and had dominated possession early, but Madrid showed they were willing to compete throughout the contest. The match was marred by controversy when Joao Cancelo was not punished for putting his studs into Yan Diomande's calf before Raphinha's equaliser.
