KYLIAN MBAPPE BRACE MOVED REAL MADRID ABOVE BARCELONA IN EL CLASSICO PLAYED SINCE 1888!
WITH the 2-1 victory secured Sunday, Real Madrid have now won 107 derby games to Barcelona’s 106, having drawn 52.
Hansi Flick’s flawless start to the season was stopped in its tracks by Jose Mourinho who slid on his knees to celebrate Mbappe’s late 87th minute winner after Raphinha had pulled the Catalan club level at Camp Nou.
Mourinho, a former Barcelona interpreter/assistant coach, has now played 18 El Classicos as Los Blancos boss winning 6, drawing 6 and losing 6. But it was the Portuguese first El Classico win in 13 years.
At the final whistle, the self-styled special one slammed VAR claiming that Cancelo should have been sent off for an alleged stamp on the tricky Yan Diomande.
The 63-year-old spotting a white beard these days declared war on La Liga in his usual bullish fashion.
“Real Madrid do not play to win at the Camp Nou. Real Madrid play to win La Liga.”
Real remain 3 points off Barcelona in what may turn out to be a tempestuous two horse race for the Spanish top flight title.
