Real Madrid’s fight to reclaim the Spanish crown begins at the Santiago Bernabéu against Osasuna.
The last time Real Madrid played a competitive game, the Spanish giants were embarrassed by Paris Saint-Germain at the FIFA Club World Cup. Now just 41 days later, Xabi Alonso’s squad is back in action to kick off their 2025–26 La Liga campaign.
The pressure on Los Blancos to bounce back from both their summer failure and their underwhelming 2024–25 season is immense, especially after Barcelona already secured three points in their league opener. If Real Madrid want to mount a title-worthy campaign, they must start off strong.
Osasuna will hope to spoil Real Madrid’s return to the Santiago Bernabéu. The Spanish outfit will have a tall task of keeping Kylian Mbappé and co. quiet, though, especially since they have not defeated Los Blancos since 2011.
Here is guide to the La Liga clash.
