The story, neutrally told

Centre · 2Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 in the Clasico at Camp Nou, with Kylian Mbappé scoring both goals. Centre · 1Mbappé's first goal came four minutes before half-time and was fortuitous: a attempted clearance by Barcelona defender Gerard Martin flew in off him and past goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Centre · 1Barcelona equalised 16 minutes into the second half, when captain Raphinha collected a pass from Pedri and shot through the legs of Jude Bellingham into the far corner.

Centre · 1With the game heading for a draw, substitute Eduardo Camavinga broke forward and squared the ball for Mbappé to finish into an unguarded net three minutes from time. Centre · 1The result cuts Barcelona's lead at the top of La Liga to three points; a Real defeat would have given Barcelona a nine-point advantage. Centre · 1Real coach José Mourinho called it a "great victory" but warned his players not to get carried away, saying "Real Madrid plays to win championships."

Centre · 1Mourinho became just the third Real boss to go six Clasicos in a row unbeaten, 13 years after he last led the club in the fixture; it was only Real's second win in eight games against Barcelona. Centre · 1Barcelona coach Hansi Flick offered no excuses but said his side paid for a punishing schedule: "We missed the freshness."

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.

Emphasis: Mbappé's goals, the narrowed title race, and Mourinho's Clasico record and comments.
Leaves out or plays down: France 24's brief item gives no match detail, scorers' timing or manager reaction; neither carries a Real Madrid or Barcelona club statement.
