Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Barcelona at Camp Nou on matchday 10 of La Liga, inflicting the hosts' first league defeat of the season. Kylian Mbappé stood out for José Mourinho's team, scoring both goals in a hard-fought encounter.
Mbappé put the visitors ahead in the 41st minute following an unusual buildup involving Gerard Martin. Barcelona leveled the score when Raphinha converted from a Pedri pass. However, Real Madrid snatched the win in the 87th minute when Jude Bellingham set up Eduardo Camavinga, who beat Pau Cubarsí before delivering the assist for Mbappé.
Mourinho celebrated the late winning goal by kneeling on the turf. In his post-match comments, the Real Madrid coach praised his players but claimed VAR was "asleep" for failing to send off João Cancelo for a stamp on Diomande's calf prior to Barcelona's equalizer. With his double, Mbappé overtook Lamine Yamal and moved closer to Raphinha in the La Liga top scorer race.
