Mbappe Brace Ends Barcelona’s Unbeaten La Liga Run

Kylian Mbappe scored twice as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou to end their unbeaten run in La Liga in a dramatic El Clasico on Sunday night.

Barcelona came into Matchday 10 having won all nine of their La Liga games this season and were looking for a tenth straight win on the eve of the Ballon d’Or awards.

But it was Madrid who took the lead in the 41st minute through Mbappe who was lucky to see a clearance inside the box by a Barcelona come off him.

Barcelona responded after the break through Raphinha, who cancelled out Mbappe’s opener in the 61st minute, finishing off a superb interchange of passes.

The result moves Real Madrid, who are on 24 points, move to within three points of Barcelona in the league table after 10 games.
