- Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first El Clasico of the season, with the home side halting a four-game losing streak against their Catalan rivals with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
- The win moves Madrid five points clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
- Mbappe, who failed to convert a second-half penalty kick, put Madrid ahead halfway through the first half after an assist by Bellingham. That came after the VAR had reversed a penalty-kick call and a goal for the hosts in the opening 15 minutes.
- Barcelona equalised through Fermin Lopez in the 38th minute, and Bellingham netted the winner in the 43rd.
- Mbappe had a penalty kick saved by Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny in the 52nd minute.
- There was a brief scuffle between the bench players from both teams after Barcelona’s Pedri was sent off just before the final whistle. The altercation continued after the game ended, with Madrid forward Vinicius Jr and Barcelona star forward Lamine Yamal – who was successfully contained by Madrid defenders – among those involved.
