José Mourinho makes it six Clásicos in a row without defeat as Kylian Mbappé wraps up a Real Madrid win at Camp Nou.

They have cut the game to the league leaders to three points.

Title race: on.

What a goal that is!

Madrid lead at the Camp Nou for a second time and Kylian Mbappé has got them both!

He has 14 goals in 11 games against Barcelona. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (20) and Karim Benzema (16) have scored more goals against them this century.

Barcelona 0-1 Real Madrid HT

Kylian Mbappé's highly fortunate goal separates the sides at the Camp Nou, where the visitors have been the better side.

Moments after the goal, however, Lamine Yamal missed a huge chance to equalise. All to play for after the break.

Marc Cucurella knows Lamine Yamal from international duty.

And he knows the best way to stop him, too.
