Real Madrid brought on Kylian Mbappé at halftime, and he nearly made an instant impact when Jude Bellingham picked him out with a precise pass. However, Mbappé would eventually make his mark on the game with a stunning direct free-kick that earned Real a crucial lifeline.

The match swung wildly in favour of Real when Aurélien Tchouaméni rose highest to meet Arda Güler's pinpoint corner, powering home a majestic header that gave his side the ascendancy. Yet, Barcelona refused to yield, and their determination paid off when Lamine Yamal delivered a sublime assist for Ferran Torres to calmly slot the ball past Courtois.
The dramatic conclusion came courtesy of Koundé, who delivered the knockout blow with a precise, low-driven finish into the bottom corner, securing a thrilling win for Barcelona
Mbappe going for number one
The free-kick in the 70th minute was the former PSG star’s 34th goal of the season, taking him ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 33 in his first season as a Los Blancos, according to Stats Foot.
Occupying the number one position is Ivan Zamorano, who scored 37 goals in 1992/93, his debut season. Mbappe is three goals away, and with five LALIGA games remaining, that number is certainly attainable.
