Jose Mourinho finally finds right balance as Kylian Mbappe's brace helps Real Madrid stun Barcelona in La Liga
Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 as Kylian Mbappe scored twice to end their nine-game winning streak. Madrid's tactical discipline, Andriy Lunin's crucial saves and Yan Diomande's impact helped them close the gap at the top to three points.
Kylian Mbappe has reached 100 goals for Real Madrid, after scoring both goals of the Madrids in victory with 2-1 obtained Sunday on Barcelona's land. The success of the 10th stage of the La Liga has stopped the perfect series of Catalans and brought the Madrid team closer to three leading points.
The French striker was on Sunday night a constant threat to the Catalan defence, which he folded shortly before half-time and then at the end of the game. He thus reached the bar of 100 goals under the Madrid jersey.
