Real Madrid debuted with a victory in LaLiga against Osasuna (1-0), in a match marked by the controversial debut of Franco Mastantuono with the Whites<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Real Madrid<\/strong> did their homework in their debut against Osasuna<\/strong> in LaLiga EA Sports 2025\/26<\/strong>. Xabi Alonso’s team, in the official debut of the man from Tolosa on the bench of the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, won by the minimum thanks to a penalty scored by Kylian Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>

Although the penalty action was not controversial, the regulatory interpretation of Franco Mastantuono’s debut remains open. The ’30’ entered for Brahim D\u00edaz<\/strong> in the 68th minute, although he has not yet debuted with Castilla (he was registered with a subsidiary team license) and clearly will not count for the Madrid ‘B’ team.<\/p>

The match was a true white monologue from beginning to end. Osasuna, in the debut of Italian Alessio Lisci as ‘rojillo’ coach<\/strong>, only came out to defensively retreat near their area, trying to do damage on a counterattack.<\/p>

However, the match ended without even a shot on goal from the Navarrese. Madrid, on the other hand, dominated at will, although they again had problems getting clearly into the rival area.<\/p>

Total dominance of a Madrid without punch in the first half<\/h2>

The Whites repeated the XI from the friendly against Tirol in Austria<\/a>, with a classic 4-3-3 scheme. Brahim D\u00edaz accompanied Vinicius and Mbapp\u00e9 in attack, while Arda G\u00fcler played as an attacking midfielder, ahead of Fede Valverde and Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni.<\/p>

\u00c1lvaro Carreras and Trent Alxander-Arnold were the full-backs<\/strong>, while Dean Huijsen and \u00c9der Militao occupied the center of the defense. Both tested Sergio Herrera’s reflexes before the break, with shots from outside the area.<\/p>

Such was Osasuna’s defensive retreat that the ‘merengue’ center-backs could freely reach almost the edge of the area<\/strong>. Thibaut Courtois was a spectator for 90 minutes.<\/p>

In a match, yes, quite clean (there were very few interruptions), the Whites turned their attack to the left, with Vini as the main weapon. The Brazilian started very active in the pressure, but little by little his contributions were diluted.<\/p>

A penalty on Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 made the difference in favor of Real Madrid<\/h2>

After the break, both teams returned without variants. In the 50th minute, Juan Cruz brought down Mbapp\u00e9 on the baseline<\/strong>, when the ’10’ was trying to dribble in the area. The main referee Adri\u00e1n Cordero did not hesitate to point to the white spot and ‘Kiki’ did not fail in the shot, deceiving Sergio Herrera with a right-footed shot.<\/p>

After the goal, the visitors maintained their initial plan despite the entries of V\u00edctor Mu\u00f1oz, Moi G\u00f3mez and Ra\u00fal Garc\u00eda<\/strong>. Ante Budimir barely participated in the match with a header that went high, while Xabi Alonso tweaked his lineup with the entries of Mastantuono, Dani Carvajal and Gonzalo Garc\u00eda<\/strong>.<\/p>

The Argentine was the most applauded in his debut, despite the controversy over his registration. Xabi gave him minutes, understanding that Osasuna would rule out reporting improper alignment<\/a>. The ‘rojillos’ have, at most, 24 hours to ask for the points from 23:00 on Tuesday.<\/p>

Only after the 85th minute were there approaches from the Navarrese team in the ‘merengue’ area, while Madrid retreated trying to liquidate the match on the counterattack. Mastantuono had an opportunity at the end<\/strong>, entering from the left to shoot directly at the rival goalkeeper’s body.<\/p>

Already in added time, Abel Bretones was sent off, presumably, for an elbow on Gonzalo<\/strong>. However, the images of the broadcast showed a legal contact, far from an aggression worthy of a direct red. In the end, Madrid added the three points in a day of debuts at the Bernab\u00e9u, with few lights and a lot of controversy.<\/p>
