In this fixture, moments often matter more than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Madrid found theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 scored twice, including an 88th-minute winner, as Jos\u00e9 Mourinho\u2019s side defeated Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou on Sunday night to hand the LaLiga leaders their first league defeat of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raphinha had brought Barcelona level after the break, but Mbapp\u00e9 delivered the final word in a dramatic finish that also brought up his 100th goal for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madrid refuse to follow Barcelona\u2019s script<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona began with the intention of controlling the ball and forcing Madrid backwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real, however, looked comfortable without dominating possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mourinho\u2019s side defended with discipline, kept the spaces between their lines narrow and waited for opportunities to attack Barcelona\u2019s high defensive line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arda G\u00fcler twice threatened Joan Garc\u00eda\u2019s goal during the opening stages before Madrid finally found the breakthrough in the 41st minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yan Diomande delivered the ball into the area and Gerard Mart\u00edn\u2019s attempted clearance rebounded against Mbapp\u00e9, who reacted quickly enough to divert it beyond Garc\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not the most elegant goal of his Real Madrid career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in a Cl\u00e1sico, elegance counts for little compared with timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona almost responded immediately when Lamine Yamal found space inside the area, but his effort failed to trouble Andriy Lunin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madrid went into half-time ahead, having largely succeeded in turning the first 45 minutes into the kind of contest they wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Raphinha brings Camp Nou back to life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona emerged with greater intensity after the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hansi Flick\u2019s side pushed higher, moved the ball more quickly and gradually forced Madrid deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their pressure finally produced an equaliser in the 61st minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedri helped create the opening and Raphinha finished from close range to make it 1-1 and ignite Camp Nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly the rhythm of the game changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona sensed momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Madrid were no longer dictating where the contest was being played and the hosts began to find opportunities around the penalty area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerard Mart\u00edn came close to completing the turnaround with a header, only for Lunin to produce an important save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a period, Barcelona looked the more likely side to find the second goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Real Madrid remained alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that is often enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One transition, one chance, one decisive finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The winning goal was everything Madrid had been waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With three minutes of normal time remaining, the visitors broke forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jude Bellingham helped launch the move, Arda G\u00fcler moved the ball on and Eduardo Camavinga accelerated into the space Barcelona had left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camavinga escaped Pau Cubars\u00ed before supplying Mbapp\u00e9, who finished the move to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Madrid\u2019s official account recorded the goal in the 88th minute; it was Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s second of the evening and his 100th for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One counterattack had changed the entire night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona had spent much of the second half pushing Madrid backwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madrid needed only seconds to punish them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mbapp\u00e9 delivers on the biggest stage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goals against Barcelona always carry greater weight for a Real Madrid forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two goals at Camp Nou, including a late winner, carry even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mbapp\u00e9 has spent much of his career being judged against extraordinary standards, and performances such as this explain why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was not involved in every phase of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did not need to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the two decisive moments arrived, he was exactly where Madrid needed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His brace took him to 11 league goals in 10 matches this season and 100 goals in all competitions for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a player recruited to decide the biggest matches, this was precisely the kind of night Madrid imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona\u2019s perfect league run comes to an end<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The defeat ended Barcelona\u2019s nine-match winning start to the LaLiga season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flick\u2019s side remain top of the table on 27 points, but Real Madrid have moved to 24, reducing what had been a six-point gap before El Cl\u00e1sico to just three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That makes the result significant beyond the rivalry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Barcelona victory could have opened a nine-point advantage over Madrid after only ten rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, the title race has been pulled back together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona can point to a strong second-half spell and several moments when the match appeared to be moving in their direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that will offer limited comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against Madrid, control without punishment can be dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mourinho wins on his Cl\u00e1sico return<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The evening also carried special significance for Jos\u00e9 Mourinho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back on the touchline in El Cl\u00e1sico, the Portuguese coach watched his side execute a disciplined strategy built around defensive organisation and rapid transitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madrid did not attempt to out-pass Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They did not need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They accepted difficult periods, protected their penalty area and trusted their attacking quality to exploit the spaces eventually offered by the hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a performance based as much on patience as ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when the opportunity arrived, Madrid were ruthless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Cl\u00e1sico that reshapes the title race<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

October does not decide LaLiga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But some October nights can change the mood of an entire season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona entered El Cl\u00e1sico with nine wins from nine league matches and the chance to put serious distance between themselves and their greatest rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They left with their first defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Madrid arrived six points behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They left only three away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And at the centre of it all was Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One hundred goals for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of them in the 88th minute at Camp Nou. In El Cl\u00e1sico, there are few better ways to make a milestone unforgettable<\/p>\n\n\n\n
