Real Madrid left the Spotify Camp Nou with a 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the first Clásico of the LaLiga 2026-27 season on Sunday, October 25.

According to El País, Kylian Mbappé scored in the 40th minute, a shot deflecting in off Gerard Martín after a Diomande cross, and added a second on 86 minutes, tapping into an empty net after Camavinga's run and pass.

The positive storyline: the French striker is closing on a milestone, with MARCA noting he now approaches 100 goals in a Real Madrid shirt, chasing the pace Cristiano Ronaldo set.

Barcelona's best moment arrived just before the hour. ESPN Deportes reports that from a short corner, Pedri feigned a cross, worked the ball into the area and found Raphinha, who lashed a low shot past Lunin for the 1-1 equalizer.

MARCA's live coverage describes Flick celebrating the goal with passion and notes the Brazilian's prolific season, with the outlet's correspondent crediting him with 13 LaLiga goals and 15 in total.

For several minutes afterward the hosts dominated, with Lunin making a spectacular save from Gerard Martín's header.

MARCA's live blog called the opening 45 minutes "precious" and "electric," with both teams fully committed.

Lamine Yamal missed a clear chance to equalize before the break, while Diomande hit the side netting on a golden counter just before the interval, and Mbappé struck the post only for offside to rule the move out.

El País notes Lunin, starting as Thibaut Courtois was sidelined by flu, was a key factor in the Madrid goal, denying the Barcelona attacks that came his way.

El País framed the stakes clearly: Barcelona, the league leaders six points clear of Madrid before kick-off, hosted a Mourinho-led Madrid side that could not afford to fall further adrift in the title race so early in the season.

By winning on their rival's turf, the visitors kept the championship fight alive rather than being cut adrift. MARCA also reports the occasion drew 62,055 spectators, nearly 300 more than attended the Clásico the previous May, underlining the enduring pull of Spanish football's biggest fixture.

According to El País, this was Mbappé's ninth goal in the four matches he has played at Barcelona's stadium, a ground that clearly suits the French forward.

MARCA adds a warm statistical echo: Mbappé's opener came in a flowing move in which all eleven Real Madrid players touched the ball, a moment of collective craftsmanship.

For neutrals and Madridistas alike, the night delivered the delight of a superstar at his peak turning the season's biggest stage into his own showcase, twice.

The Clásico ended with late drama, as MARCA reports five added minutes, a booking amid heated protests, and warnings over objects thrown toward the pitch during Real Madrid's celebrations.

Barcelona pushed through changes, sending on Adeyemi and Gabriel Jesús, while Madrid introduced Camavinga, who proved decisive with his assist.
