Real Madrid secured an exciting 2-1 victory over hosts Barcelona on the evening of Sunday 25 October 2026 at Spotify Camp Nou, in the tenth round of the Spanish league.
France’s Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 41st minute, capitalising on a defensive error by Gerard Martín, before Raphinha equalised for Barcelona in the 61st minute from a superb pass by Pedri. In the 87th minute (or 88th according to some reports), Mbappé scored his second, decisive goal after a pass from Eduardo Camavinga, sealing the win for Los Blancos.
This victory ended Barcelona’s winning run in the league (9 wins) and reduced the gap between the two teams to just 3 points (Barcelona 27 points, Real Madrid 24). Mbappé also reached his 100th goal for Real Madrid in this match.
