Mbappe rejects El Clasico hero tag despite Real Madrid double

Published on: 26 October 2026

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has rejected the suggestion that he was the main figure in Sunday’s 2-1 away win against Barcelona in El Clasico, despite scoring both of his side’s goals.

Mbappe was named player of the match after his brace, but the France international said: “I disagree.”

The result gave Real Madrid victory at Barcelona in the latest meeting between the two Spanish rivals.

Mbappe is second in the current La Liga scoring standings with 11 goals. He trails Barcelona captain Raphinha, who has scored 13.

Raphinha scored Barcelona’s only goal in the 2-1 defeat.
