Real Madrid came from behind to hand FC Barcelona its first defeat in the El Clásico in the La Liga 2026-27 season. Kylian Mbappé was the gladiator for Real Madrid as he ensured that Los Blancos sealed the three points, coming within touching distance of Barca in the La Liga table.

Real Madrid's dramatic 2-1 El Clásico victory sparked wild celebrations, with Jose Mourinho stealing the spotlight with an iconic knee-slide. Beyond the bragging rights, the win delivered six significant milestones for Los Blancos. Here are six key stats every Madridista should know.

107th Victory For Real Madrid

The latest El Clásico has tilted the historical league head-to-head record in Real Madrid's favour, ending the deadlock after both sides entered the contest with 106 wins apiece. Los Blancos also broke their winless run at Spotify Camp Nou, claiming their first victory there since October 2023. Having managed just one win in their previous six Clasico encounters, Madrid delivered a statement performance to reclaim the edge in one of football's fiercest rivalries.

100 Goals For Mbappe In Madrid Jersey

Kylian Mbappe marked his 100th goal for Real Madrid in style, scoring twice in the Clasico at Camp Nou, including a decisive late strike. His tally comprises 67 La Liga goals, 25 in the Champions League, four in the Copa del Rey, and one each in the Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

39 Games Without Assist: Camavinga Sets Up Clasico Winner

Eduardo Camavinga had gone 39 appearances without an assist for Real Madrid, with his last coming in a 5-2 win over Olympiacos in November 2025. He spectacularly ended that drought, beating Pau Cubarsí before cutting the ball back for Kylian Mbappé to score the winner, arguably one of his finest assists for Los Blancos. Jose Mourinho revealed that he had urged Camavinga to attack the spaces, praising the midfielder for making those runs from the second line despite the difficult circumstances.

13 Duels Won by Jude Bellingham

Jude Bellingham was at the heart of Real Madrid's all-action performance, winning 13 duels, four more than any other player on the pitch. He lost just two of his 15 ground duels, recovered possession six times and made five tackles, underlining his impact at both ends of the pitch. The midfielder was equally impressive on the ball, completing 100% of his long balls and dribbles to deliver a commanding performance in the Clasico.

6 Clásicos Unbeaten for Mourinho

Jose Mourinho extended his impressive record against Barcelona, going unbeaten in his last six Clásicos as Real Madrid coach, with four wins and two draws. Only Miguel Muñoz, who recorded seven consecutive victories between 1962 and 1965, and Vicente del Bosque, who managed two wins and five draws from 2001 to 2003, have enjoyed longer unbeaten runs. Mourinho has now registered six Clásico victories, placing him alongside Francisco Bru, Luis Molowny and Zinedine Zidane, while only Muñoz (16) and Carlo Ancelotti (nine) have won more.

10 Years Since Madrid Beat La Liga Leaders Away

Real Madrid had not beaten the team leading La Liga away from home since April 2016, when they defeated Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou. Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo scored on that occasion, although the result ultimately had little impact on the title race. A decade later, Madrid have repeated the feat, and with the gap at the top reduced to just three points, this victory could prove far more significant in the battle for the La Liga crown.
