The LaLiga clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid on May 11 was defined by Kylian Mbappé’s sensational hat-trick— the first by a Real player against Barça in a league match since January 1995.
Despite Mbappé’s three-goal haul, Real Madrid fell 4–3 at Camp Nou. The France forward’s treble included a fifth-minute penalty and strikes in the 14th and 70th minutes, yet Barcelona’s spirited comeback saw them overturn a 2–0 deficit to seal the win, Idman.biz reports.
Before Sunday, no Real Madrid player had netted a league hat-trick against their Catalan rivals in the past 30 years—the last was Iván Zamorano in January 1995. Mbappé’s landmark achievement finally ended that long-standing drought.
