Overview

  • Xabi Alonso makes his LaLiga coaching debut at the Bernabéu as Real Madrid hosts Osasuna in the season opener.
  • Franco Mastantuono, 18, is named in the squad and could debut after being registered with Real Madrid Castilla wearing No. 30.
  • Legal experts, including CENAFE’s Miguel Galán, argue the Castilla registration is a bad‑faith workaround and say Osasuna could lodge an improper‑alignment claim within 24 hours if he plays.
  • Real Madrid and Alonso maintain the paperwork is correct and insist there is no risk of sanction under RFEF rules on filial-first team movement.
  • Madrid starts short-handed with four injuries (Camavinga, Endrick, Bellingham, Mendy) and Rüdiger suspended, as Osasuna seeks a first win over Madrid in 14 years.
