In his first El Clasico since moving to Real Madrid, Mbappe thought he scored in the first half, but the slimmest of margins disallowed for offside the goal.
The Frenchman received repeated offside flags an additional seven times as he grappled with Barcelona’s high defensive line.
After the game, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti commented that Mbappe had several chances to score but lacked precision.
Madrid newspaper AS wrote: “The star’s first Clasico was a cataclysm – a failure, stumbling eight times in Flick’s offside trap. Shrunken and without venom, he’s a worry.”
The city rivals, Atletico Madrid, failed to take advantage and lost 1-0 to Real Betis due to a fourth-minute own goal by Jose Maria Gimenez.

Unfortunately, Valencia experienced heartbreak when they let in a 90th-minute equalizer from Mauro Arambarri in their game against Getafe.

Antonio Conte’s team controlled the game and created numerous opportunities, but they faced difficulty breaching Lecce’s defense until Giovanni di Lorenzo’s goal was in the 73rd minute.
“I calmed them down because you have to have the maturity and patience to keep going, move the ball around, and create chances to score,” Conte told DAZN.
The match’s outcome put them in first place, four points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan, who had an exciting 4-4 match against Juventus in the Derby d’Italia.

Lazio secured a 3-0 victory over Genoa, adding to their ongoing winless run. Meanwhile, AC Milan’s scheduled game against Bologna was postponed because of severe weather conditions, including heavy rain and flooding.
