Jose Mourinho has gained attention online after knee-sliding to celebrate Kylian Mbappe scoring late in Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Barcelona in El Clasico on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

Fabrizio Romano posted images of the Portuguese manager celebrating Mbappe scoring the winner at Spotify Camp Nou.

After Mbappe scored his brace in the 87th minute, Mourinho’s celebrations quickly became a key topic of discussion amongst fans. His enthusiasm was very noticeable.

Real Madrid took the lead in the 41st minute through Mbappé but were quickly equalised by Barcelona. However, the French star found the back of the net again late on to secure the win.

It was a vital win for Madrid who beat the reigning champions at home. Meanwhile, it ended Barcelona’s winning streak.

However, the late goal from Mbappe wasn’t the only major talking point from the game. Mourinho is well-known for his high energy celebrations in big games and his knee slide was reminiscent of his past celebrations.

During his first stint at Real Madrid, Mourinho famously knee-slided to celebrate Cristiano Ronaldo’s late winner against Manchester City back in 2012.

Mourinho’s latest celebration is another memorable moment from a high profile game. The images posted by Romano helped to get the scene trending on social media.
