Real Madrid secured a crucial victory against Barcelona on Matchday 10 of the 2026–27 La Liga season. Coach Jose Mourinho emphasized that the squad must avoid complacency, noting that the job is far from finished and the domestic campaign remains demanding.
Propelled by a clinical brace from Kylian Mbappe, who reached the historic milestone of 100 goals in a Real Madrid shirt, Los Blancos marched into Spotify Camp Nou and collected three vital points. Despite the win, Madrid remain third in the league table, and Mourinho is acutely aware that his players must stay focused if they hope to lift silverware at season’s end.
“In my view, Real Madrid does not play to win at the Camp Nou… Real Madrid play to win LaLiga,” Mourinho declared after the match. “This must be the mentality. We need to continue like this and not go over the moon after this victory.”
Achieving this triumph without suspended Vini Junior and starting goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois—who was sidelined with a severe flu on Sunday morning—showcased the squad’s tactical maturity and proved they rely on depth beyond individual stars. With a healthier, deeper bench, Real Madrid remain genuine contenders both domestically and in the UEFA Champions League, where they sustain a strong European campaign.
