Kylian Mbappe has given Real Madrid the lead against Barcelona in great fashion. 22 minutes into El Clasico, the Frenchman opened the scoring at the Santiago Bernabeu with a clinical finish inside the box.
Jude Bellingham set up Mbappe with a fantastic pass, leaving the former PSG star one-on-one with Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. The Pole couldnât do much against Kylian, who easily put the ball in the back of the net.
Mbappeâs goal came only a few minutes after having a fantastic strike disallowed due to offside in the build-up. Far from letting that situation destroy his confidence, Mbappe kept up with his strong pace to eventually break the deadlock for Real Madrid.
