Sunday 26-10-2025
Real Madrid achieved a valuable victory against its rival Barcelona with a score of 2-1 in the classic, during the tenth round of the Spanish league, in a match held at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

After this victory, Real Madrid raised its points to 27 at the top of the table, while Barcelona's score remained at 22 in second place, making the points difference 5 between the rivals.

The early moments of the match were very exciting, as the referee awarded a penalty kick in favor of Vinicius Junior, but then returned to video technology in the 4th minute and canceled the decision after reviewing the footage. In the 8th minute, Lamine Yamal tried to open the scoring with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, but it went wide of Courtois' goal.

In the 13th minute, Kylian Mbappe scored a goal that was disallowed by the referee for offside, before the French star returned to score a legitimate goal in the 22nd minute assisted by Bellingham. In the 33rd minute, a dangerous opportunity arose for Barcelona after a ball reached Ferran Torres inside the penalty area, but Courtois excelled in saving his shot.

In the 38th minute, Barcelona equalized through Fermín López after a pass from Rashford. Vinicius almost scored a second goal, but his shot was saved by Szczęsny, before Bellingham scored a second goal for Real Madrid in the 43rd minute after a cross from Vinicius, which Militao headed and then Bellingham followed into the net.

At the beginning of the second half, the referee awarded a penalty kick after consulting video technology for a handball by Eric Garcia. Kylian Mbappe took the penalty, but Szczęsny saved it in the 52nd minute. After that, Barcelona dominated possession while Real Madrid players retreated to their areas.

The minutes passed with attempts from both teams but without real danger, and in the 87th minute, Mbappe nearly added a second goal but his shot went wide. Then Koundé almost equalized but missed the ball in a very strange way. Rodrigo then shot from inside the penalty area, but Szczęsny saved it in the 90+4 minute.

Rodrigo then took a free kick, but Szczęsny deflected it for a corner. Pedri was then sent off with a second yellow card in the 90+8 minute, ending the match 2-1.
