Barcelona faced a setback in El Clasico, losing 2-1 to Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou, marking the end of their nine-game winning streak in LaLiga. Kylian Mbappe scored both goals for Real Madrid, highlighting Barcelona's defensive vulnerabilities.

Despite a strong start to the season, Barcelona struggled to contain Madrid's midfield strategy, which was emphasized by Jose Mourinho's comments on exploiting space against their high defensive line. In a previous match, Barcelona had also been defeated by Paris Saint-Germain.
