Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2–1 at Camp Nou on Sunday, Barcelona's first La Liga defeat of the season after nine straight wins.
Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 41st minute when Gerard Martín's clearance of a Yan Diomande cross struck him and went in. Raphinha leveled in the 61st with a left-footed finish from Pedri's disguised pass. Three minutes from time, Eduardo Camavinga played a one-two with Marc Cucurella and set up Mbappé from close range. CBS Sports reports it was his 100th goal for the club, in 116 appearances.
Barcelona had most of the ball, but Andriy Lunin, in goal with Thibaut Courtois absent, made the bigger saves, including one from a Martín header after the hour. Vinícius Júnior was suspended. It was Mourinho's first Clásico since 2013, CBS Sports notes.
Hansi Flick's Barcelona stay top on 27 points from 10 games. Madrid are third on 24.
