Real Madrid extends its lead in LaLiga thanks to a narrow victory against Barça (2-1). The 'merengues' have 27 points, 5 more than the azulgrana team after the Clásico

Real Madrid extended their lead in LaLiga EA Sports 2025/26 thanks to a narrow victory in the Clásico against FC Barcelona (2-1). Goals from Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham in the first half allowed 'Los Blancos' to secure their first victory against the Barça side since Hansi Flick's arrival to the 'culé' bench.

In a match conditioned by the terrible refereeing of César Soto Grado and the injury absences in Barça, Madrid took the lead with a goal from Mbappé in the 22nd minute. Fermín López made it 1-1 in the 38th minute, but Jude Bellingham put the Whites ahead again in the 43rd.

The Englishman took advantage of a cross from Militao, preceded by a possible elbow from Huijsen on Cubarsí overlooked by Soto Grado and the VAR. Although Szczesny saved a penalty from Mbappé in the second half, the locals maintained the advantage. To top it off, Pedri was sent off in added time for a second yellow card, an expulsion that unleashed a brawl between the benches.

Barça couldn't regain the lead at the Santiago Bernabéu

Flick's Barcelona loses a first Clásico full of controversy at the Bernabéu (2-1)

Thus, Real Madrid reached 25 points, 5 more than FC Barcelona. The Catalans still boast the best offense (25 goals) and the best goal difference (+13), but they already have 2 defeats and 1 draw in 10 games, stumbles that move Flick's team away from a 'merengue' team that has 9 wins in 10 outings.

For the moment, Madrid only fell against Atlético (5-2) and starts the tournament with a good advantage. On matchday 20 of the previous year, Los Blancos were 7 points above a Barça that, finally, managed to come back and take the title with two matchdays to spare. The Clásicos (both won by the 'Culés') made the difference.

The rest of the results from matchday 10 of LaLiga

With Sunday's defeat, Barça also reduced their advantage over Villarreal. The 'Yellow Submarine' reached 20 points thanks to their victory against Valencia on Saturday (0-2). Another team that took advantage of the matchday was Espanyol. The 'pericos' defeated Elche at home (1-0) and, for the moment, are fourth with 18 points, awaiting what Atlético and Betis do on Monday at the close of the match.

The matchday began on Friday with Real Sociedad's victory over Sevilla (2-1), a result that allows the team from San Sebastián to move out of the relegation zone. On Saturday, there was also a draw between teams at the bottom of the table (3-3 between Girona and Oviedo), in addition to a surprising victory for Getafe against Athletic (0-1).

Before Sunday's Clásico, Mallorca and Levante drew at Son Moix. Sunday's matchday ended with Osasuna losing to Celta Vigo (2-3) and Rayo Vallecano winning against Alavés (1-0). On Monday, Betis lost against Atlético Madrid at the Benito Villamarín stadium (0-2).
