Kylian Mbappe's dramatic late goal secured a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid over arch-rivals Barcelona in a high-voltage El Clasico at Camp Nou on Sunday. This defeat marks a tough week for Hansi Flick's Barcelona, who not only saw their 11-game unbeaten run against PSG in the Champions League end but also succumbed to Real Madrid at home for the first time in three years.

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions. Real Madrid took the lead in the 41st minute when Gerard Martin inadvertently deflected a cross from Yan Diomande into his own net. Barcelona, however, fought back fiercely, with Raphinha leveling the score in the 61st minute after a clever pass from Pedri.

The tension escalated in the final minutes. Despite Barcelona's persistent attacks, including a powerful header from Martin saved by Andriy Lunin and a close shot from Lamine Yamal, it was Mbappe who had the last word. In the 87th minute, after brilliant build-up play involving Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga, Mbappe netted the winner, prompting Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho's iconic 'slide' celebration. This goal also marked Mbappe's 100th for Real Madrid across all competitions, solidifying his impact on the team this season with 14 goals so far.
