Overview
- Real Oviedo play their first LaLiga home match at the Carlos Tartiere since 2001, welcoming Real Madrid for a Sunday night fixture.
- Pre-match focus centers on former Spain teammates Xabi Alonso, now coaching Madrid, and Santi Cazorla, who leads Oviedo at age 40.
- Real Madrid travel with Antonio Rüdiger available but without Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy and Endrick.
- Oviedo arrive with a low-net-spend rebuild featuring Luka Ilic (€2m), Ilyas Chaira (€1.5m) and recent additions Eric Bailly, Josip Brekalo and Leander Dendoncker, as Paunovic leans on strong recent home form.
- Kickoff is 21:30 local time with De Burgos Bengoetxea officiating and DAZN broadcasting, with media publishing probable XIs that include Courtois, Mbappé and Vinícius for Madrid.
