Mbappe continued to experience bitter disappointment in crucial El Clasico matches, as Real Madrid lost to Barcelona in the 2026 Spanish Super Cup final on the morning of January 12th. This marks the third time the French star has been defeated in a final against his arch-rivals since joining the Spanish royal club.
On the pitch, Barcelona controlled the game better in crucial moments, while Real Madrid tried but lacked the sharpness to turn the tide. Mbappe came on in the final minutes, but couldn't make a significant difference. He entered the match not fully fit, having only trained once before the game and having a problem with his left knee.
Statistics have become an obsession for Mbappe. All three finals against Barcelona while playing for Real Madrid have ended in defeat.
Previously, Barca beat Real 5-2 in the 2025 Spanish Super Cup, 3-2 in the 2025 Copa del Rey final, and most recently, 3-2 in the 2026 Spanish Super Cup. Even in the 2024/25 La Liga race, Real Madrid missed out on the title, finishing just two points behind Barcelona.

Mbappe once again suffered a bitter defeat against Real Madrid. |
However, public opinion wasn't just focused on the result, but also on his actions after the match. As Barcelona prepared for the trophy presentation, Mbappe's face showed displeasure. He asked his teammates to leave the field, not to stand in line to greet the winning team.
Television cameras captured images of Mbappe signaling the Real Madrid players to turn their backs and leave, while Raul Asencio was about to join the champion's salute.
According to Spanish media, Mbappe deliberately told his teammates not to line up and applaud Barcelona. In his eyes, that wasn't a sign of respect, but rather a humiliating image.
Real Madrid, with its pride, cannot afford to be merely a backdrop for the coronation of its arch-rival.
The action immediately caused a storm on social media, especially among Barcelona fans. They argued that Mbappe had broken the spirit of sportsmanship expected in a final match.
In a match already tense with clashes and arguments, that moment became a highlight with a negative connotation.
Another El Clasico has ended, and Mbappe once again leaves the field empty-handed, with an image even more controversial than the defeat itself.
