Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 to cut LaLiga lead to three points

Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 in the first Clásico of the season at Camp Nou.

Kylian Mbappé scored the winning goal late in the match after Eduardo Camavinga set him up.

The win cut Barcelona’s LaLiga lead from six points to three and moved Real back into the title race.

Barcelona had won their first nine league matches and were top of the table before this game.

They came into it after losing 4-2 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, their first defeat of the season in all competitions.

Real’s victory matters because it brings them closer to their rivals in the league standings.

The sources do not say what either team’s next match will be.

After Mbappé’s rather lucky goal and the impressive Mourinho-inspired defensive effort of Real Madrid with everyone, Bellingham included, pressing Barca’s players to the nth degree, it was refreshing to see pure football. Pedri’s feint and pass for Rafinha, and the Brazilian’s finish, were sublime.
