Kylian Mbappe's double took Real Madrid to a famous 2-1 Clasico win, which had Jose Mourinho sliding on his knees in celebration in Barcelona.
It was the 87th minute when Mbappe tucked in from Eduardo Camavinga's cutback following some sublime skill from Jude Bellingham. The celebrations from Real Madrid were wild, with their head coach unable to contain himself, his staff on the pitch, and his players clashing with Barcelona fans.
Real had been on the defensive after Raphinha's snapshot had levelled a pulsating clash, with Lamine Yamal narrowly clipping wide as La Liga's defending champions pushed for a winner. Instead, Real have closed to within three points of their great rivals. Atletico are second, just two off Barca now.
It's been a bad week for Hansi Flick's side, whose 11-game winning streak at the start of this season was halted with defeat in the Champions League at Paris St-Germain. This loss will sting far more, as it's Real's first win in Barcelona in three years. Mbappe's opener had been fortuitous, with Gerard Martin slamming a clearance in off him, but Real's move had been excellent, and throughout the contest they showed they were willing to go toe-to-toe with their more favoured hosts.
There was controversy before Raphinha's equaliser, as Joao Cancelo was not punished for putting his studs into Yan Diomande's calf. But Mourinho and Real Madrid will leave Spotify Camp Nou celebrating.
