In the marquee clash of Matchday 10 in the 2026/27 La Liga season, Real Madrid secured a 2-1 away victory over Barcelona to win El Clasico. Following the match in an interview with Real Madrid TV, Kylian Mbappe, who netted a brace in this contest, stated that the team must keep moving forward.
Regarding the Victory
Mbappe: “This means nothing—after all, this is Real Madrid. We have to keep going forward. For us, five consecutive wins mean nothing; our goal is to win every single match. Today's performance sent out a positive signal, but we must never think the season is over. Next week in Santander, we need to maintain that exact same intensity.”
Regarding the Match
Mbappe: “Today, the true star was the entire team—the whole collective. We knew deep down that we had to step up, fight like real men, and battle together as one unit. We prepared thoroughly for recent matches—we have been winning, playing well, and keeping a great mentality—and today we poured everything into it.”
“Although there were difficult moments during the match, we also took control on multiple occasions. At the end of the day, securing the win and staying alive in the title race is vital. We must keep working hard; while it was a wonderful match, it is ultimately just three points, and to win the league title, we still need to collect many more points.”
Regarding the Milestone of 100 Goals
Mbappe: “I am very happy—truly happy from the bottom of my heart. Everyone knows that I love scoring goals and that I enjoy helping the team through goals. But today, this was just a side note. As I said, the most important thing is that the team took the victory. This will inject immense confidence into the entire squad. As for the goals—I hope to score many more in the future; of course, that matters.”
Regarding the Title Ambitions
Mbappe: "If we want to achieve something this year, we must rely on the entire team and fight with collective strength. The squad's quality is beyond doubt—whoever says we lack quality is lying—but we must pull together and battle as a collective unit. Only then can we accomplish our established objectives."
