Overview
- Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring before Fermín López leveled, then Jude Bellingham restored Madrid’s lead with a close‑range finish.
- Video review first overturned a Madrid penalty and an Mbappé strike for offside, and Wojciech Szczęsny later saved Mbappé’s second‑half penalty.
- Barcelona’s Pedri was sent off late for a second yellow card, and a brief touchline shoving match followed the final whistle.
- The result gives Madrid nine wins in ten league games this season and consolidates top spot by five points.
- Barcelona were depleted by injuries to Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo, with assistant Marcus Sorg deputizing for suspended coach Hansi Flick as Lamine Yamal started after his pre‑match remarks about Real.
