Two Mbappé goals give Real Madrid El Clasico win over Barcelona

Real Madrid won the Spanish league football match known as El Clasico on Sunday, beating Barcelona 2-1 (1-0 at halftime) at the Camp Nou stadium. Forward Kylian Mbappé scored both of the Madrid side's goals, with the decisive one arriving in the 87th minute, three minutes before the end of normal time.

How the match unfolded

Barcelona had to make their first substitution as early as the 30th minute, when full-back Xavi Espart was injured. He had scored in the UEFA Champions League, Europe's top club competition, earlier in the week.

Shortly before the break, in the 41st minute, a ball played into the box struck a Barcelona player and fell straight to Mbappé. He sent it into the net to make it 1-0.

In the second half, in the 61st minute, Rafael Belloli received a pass from Pedro Lopes in the penalty area and fired in from the right side to level the score. With three minutes of normal time remaining, Eduardo Camavinga made a run and delivered a pass, and the ball reached Mbappé in front of goal. Unmarked, he put it into the net to make it 2-1.
