Mbappé's double and a Madrid plan built on counters
Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou on 25 October 2026, and Kylian Mbappé scored both of the visitors' goals. The win cuts Real Madrid's deficit in La Liga to three points, according to El Mundo, and ends a run of nine straight league wins for Barcelona. Mbappé opened the scoring before half-time after a poor clearance from Gerard Martín fell to him, a finish that El Mundo said owed something to luck. Raphinha equalised for Barcelona in the second half. Mbappé struck again in the 87th minute, after a pass from Camavinga, who had come on for Bernardo Silva.
Lunin, Bellingham and Camavinga's return
Courtois was unable to play because of flu, so Lunin made his season debut in goal, and ABC credited him with a hand save from a Gerard Martín header. Jude Bellingham's roulette in midfield, which La Razón said began the move for the winning goal, was one of the night's most eye-catching moments. La Razón also noted that Bellingham has scored three goals and provided four assists this season. Camavinga, who was heavily criticised last season, produced his first assist of the campaign with the pass that secured the win. He had also started against Leipzig in the Champions League the previous Wednesday, and Mourinho had kept faith with him through a difficult start to the season.
Lamine Yamal kept quiet by Cucurella
Marc Cucurella was assigned to Lamine Yamal, and El Periódico said he made the Barcelona winger's afternoon difficult from the first minute. Referee Martínez Munuera awarded Yamal four fouls in the first half, while Cucurella escaped a booking. Yamal's best chance came near half-time, when a shot with the inside of his foot went wide. Barcelona had lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League earlier that week, and El Mundo described a side that was slow in build-up and careless in possession. Flick was visibly frustrated on the touchline, according to El Mundo.
Mourinho's return and what follows
Mourinho returned to Camp Nou 13 years after his previous visit, and El Mundo described it as his first trip there in his second spell as Real Madrid coach. Real Madrid's midfield of Bernardo Silva, Tchouaméni and Güler gave the side an attacking shape that El Mundo said it had not had before. El Periódico framed the defeat as the first serious doubts of Barcelona's season under Hansi Flick. The result reopens the La Liga race, with Real Madrid three points behind the leaders' pace, according to El Mundo.
