Last night’s game

Al Ahly secured their spot in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage yesterday with a 4-0 victory over Uganda’s Kitara FC in the second leg of the preliminary round, advancing 6-1 on aggregate. The showing made amends with frustrated supporters following a disappointing domestic draw against El Qanah while cementing the Red Devils as the first club in history to reach 700 goals across African competitions.

Mbappe’s brace decides El Clásico: Real Madrid claimed a 2-1 victory away against Barcelona at Camp Nou yesterday, with a Kylian Mbappe double snapping the Catalan side’s historic victory run in La Liga this season. Mbappe opened the scoring in the 41st minute before Raphinha leveled for the hosts in the second half. Mbappe then struck an 87th-minute winner, finishing off an Eduardo Camavinga feed set up by a driving solo run from Jude Bellingham — pushing the French forward past the 100-goal mark in Los Blancos colors. With the victory, Real Madrid cut the deficit to their arch-rivals to just three points, sitting only one point behind second-placed Atletico Madrid.

Over in the Premier League: Manchester United’s alarming tailspin deepened with a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Liverpool took care of business with a 2-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield, and Newcastle earned a 2-0 road victory against Crystal Palace.
