Overview
- Real beat Osasuna 1:0 at the Bernabéu, with Kylian Mbappé converting a 51st‑minute penalty he won himself.
- Madrid dominated possession but created few clear chances against Osasuna’s back five, while the visitors offered little threat.
- Osasuna’s Abel Bretones was sent off in stoppage time, and Madrid next visit Oviedo on Sunday.
- Alonso has asked for patience to implement his pressing style after a trophyless season and a 0:4 Club World Cup defeat to PSG.
- Real rebuilt their back line with Trent Alexander‑Arnold (~€10m), Dean Huijsen (>€60m) and Álvaro Carreras (~€50m), as Jude Bellingham remains out until around October.
