Mbappé, Bellingham star as Real Madrid edge Barcelona in Clásico

Real Madrid edged past Barcelona in the first El Clásico of the season as goals from Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham helped them to a 2-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Mbappé opened the scoring in the 22nd minute when he was set through on goal by a delightful through ball from Bellingham.

Barça levelled the scores through Fermín López, but Bellingham starred again later in the first half with a poacher's finish.

Hansi Flick's side were reduced to 10-men deep into stoppage-time when Pedri was shown a second yellow card for a mistimed tackle.
