Mbappé's late double gives Real Madrid 2-1 win at Barcelona

Summary

Kylian Mbappé scored twice as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 at the Camp Nou in El Clásico. Mbappé opened the scoring, Raphinha equalised for Barcelona, and Real Madrid won it late. With about three minutes left, Jude Bellingham played a skilful pass to Eduardo Camavinga, who sprinted clear, slipped past Pau Cubarsí and pulled the ball back for Mbappé to finish. It was 13 years since José Mourinho last led Real Madrid into the Camp Nou, and he left with the win. Mourinho said both teams had played to win. The BBC said Mourinho's return had haunted Barcelona and that La Liga's season had switched from predictable to fascinating.
