Osasuna last won against Real Madrid exactly one and a half decades ago

21 February 2026 - 11:05 am

In the 25th round of the Spanish La Liga on February 21, 2026, Osasuna will face Real Madrid. The visitors cannot afford another slip-up.

The club from Pamplona collected the same 52 points as Rayo Vallecano in the 2024/2025 season, but due to tiebreakers, they gave up eighth place—and with it, the right to play in European competitions—to their rival. Recently, the results were mediocre for a while, but in midwinter, they notably improved and started winning frequently. However, they settled for a goalless draw with Elche in the last round. And in the cup, they lost to the in-form Real Sociedad only on penalties.

The capital’s giant did not win a single trophy in 2025. When they lost the Super Cup to Barcelona in January, once again trailing them in La Liga, Xabi Alonso—who had spent half a year as head coach—was replaced. Arbeloa, who took over, debuted with a 2-3 loss in the cup to Albacete. But then, they mostly won, though they finished 2-4 against Benfica. Meeting them again at the start of the Champions League playoffs, Real finally secured a victory. After thrashing Real Sociedad and thanks to a rival’s stumble, they reclaimed first place in La Liga!

The home side, after improving in winter, managed to balance their stats: 1.17 goals scored and conceded per match. The visitors from the capital, as expected, have impressive numbers: 2.21 goals scored and 0.79 conceded on average.
