Mbappé and Bellingham lead the way in thrilling El Clásico first half 🔥 | OneFootball

It's been a thrilling first half at Bernabéu as Real Madrid and Barcelona go blow for blow in El Clásico. 

Among the galaxy of stars on the pitch, none are shining brighter right now than Kylian Mbappé, who slotted past Wojciech Szczęsny after a perfect through ball from Jude Bellingham. 

It made it 16 for the season already, and he now has a staggering 12 career goals against Barça. 

Six of them came while at PSG, and he has struck six in just over a year with Real against their fiercest rivals. He didn't score in his first Clásico but has in every game since, joining an exclusive club of all-time legends to do so in the 21st century. 

Fermín López levelled things up just over 15 minutes later, finishing off a lovely team move with a confident finish from a pull back as Barça fought back. 

However, they could not hold on until half-time as Bellingham added a goal to his assist, smashing home from close range, to restore Real's lead and continue his resurgence following shoulder surgery. 

What will the second half have for us? Can Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford step up to the plate?
