Real Madrid have fallen to defeat in La Liga for the first time in 2026, with Osasuna sealing a 2-1 win at El Sadar after goals from Ante Budimir, Vinicius Junior and Raul Garcia de Haro.
Gave away the penalty for Osasuna’s first goal, albeit in unlucky circumstances.
Drafted in for his first start since September, but he struggled during his 64 minutes on the pitch. Former teammate Victor Munoz got the better of him throughout.
Did okay, but he should have done better at both ends on two occasions. He missed a big chance in the first half, before failing to deny Garcia de Haro late on for Osasuna’s winner.
Looked like a player making only his second start of the season. He struggled up against Budimir, and then Garcia de Haro.
Real Madrid’s best defender. Had a tough battle with Ruben Garcia, but he marshalled him relatively well.
Largely anonymous in the first half, but made the difference in the second when he set up Vinicius’ goal. After he was taken off, Real Madrid lost their way a bit.
He’s far away from his form from the start of the season, although he did come close the scoring in the second half.
It was all too easy for Osasuna’s Aimar Oroz to break through the Real Madrid midfield at times, although Tchouameni received little help in this efforts to stop him.
Could not provide much of an attacking threat, and all too often, Osasuna right-back Valentin Rosier was allowed to get forward.
Played like he was not fully fit, which he clearly wasn’t. He had a goal ruled out for offside, but aside from that, he was kept quiet.

If Real Madrid were going to do anything in attack, it was going to come through Vinicius. To no one’s surprise, he got their goal, although his efforts were not enough in the end.
Bright performance, although like Carvajal, he also found it difficult up against Munoz.
Unable to make much of an impact.
Brought on to be a focal point, but he was not.
Like the rest of Real Madrid’s midfielders, he found it difficult.
