The first Clasico of the season was closed for a long time, but ended up offering a great spectacle on Sunday evening at the Camp Nou. Real Madrid came to snatch the three points in Catalonia thanks to a double from Kylian Mbappé, while FC Barcelona had the upper hand on the field during the second half. Raphinha equalized on the hour mark (61st) and the Blaugranas, notably Lamine Yamal, hoped to win in front of their supporters.
Author of the opening score before half-time, while being happy to counter a poorly controlled clearance from Gerard Martin on a cross from Yan Diomandé (41st), Mbappé took advantage of a huge action from Eduardo Camavinga to give the Merengues the advantage a few minutes from the end of the match (87th).
Camavinga’s crazy race
Launched by Arda Güler, “Cama” managed to make a big bridge – at full speed – on Pau Cubarsi by entering the Barcelona area and, with his right foot (his bad foot), served behind his captain of the French team for the winning goal! The French international was started by José Mourinho in the 80th minute of the game in place of Bernardo Silva.
At the start of this action which will be remembered, Jude Bellingham performed a high-class technical sequence with a double contact and a Zinédine Zidane-style roulette in front of Gabriel Jesus. This allowed the English midfielder to launch the counter-attack, giving the ball to Camavinga, who then shifted Guler to the right. Real fans will have strong images of this Clasico won on enemy territory!
