Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola refused to read too much into his side's 3-1 victory over arch-rivals Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Karim Benzema had claimed the fastest ever El Clasico goal when he fired Madrid ahead after just 23 seconds, but Barca hit back with goals from Alexis Sanchez, Xavi and Cesc Fabregas.
"I am delighted with the performance," Guardiola said. "Madrid will recover. To win here, you have to play a very good game and we have done that.
"But there is still much to do and Madrid will again be the leader if they beat Sevilla. There are no champions in December."
Madrid boss Mourinho felt that Barcelona star Lionel Messi was fortunate to avoid a red card and was left to curse a miss from Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I thought Messi could have been sent off, but until I see it again I won't say more in case I'm wrong," he said.
"When it was 1-0, we could easily have gone 2-0 up and maybe under normal circumstances we would do, but Cristiano has put it wide.
