In the 25th round of the Spanish Championship, Real Madrid played away against Osasuna and suffered an unexpected 1-2 defeat. The drama of the match didn't stop until the end: goals, penalties, rebounds, and the decisive shot in the 90+ minute - everything was there.
The hosts looked much more active in the first half. In the 39th minute, Budimir scored from a penalty, opening the Madrid goal. Following this goal, Real Madrid attempted to take control of the game, but Osasuna were organized in both defense and counter-attack.
Real Madrid's pressure intensified towards the end of the second half. In the 83rd minute, after Valverde's pass, Vinicius equalized, sparking hope that he might have saved the Madrid side. But this hope didn't last long: in the 90+1st minute, Raul Garcia scored the winning goal for the hosts, blowing up the stadium - and "Osasuna" valued the three points as "gold."
La Liga. Round 25
Osasuna - Real Madrid 2:1
Goals: Budimir 39 (penalty), Raul Garcia 90+1 - Vinicius 83.
Osasuna: Herrera, Rozier, Katena, Herrando, Galan, R. Garcia (Bretones, 66'), Munos, Oroz (I. Munos, 71'), Torro, Monkayola, Budimir (R. Garcia, 67').
Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal (Trent, 64'), Asensio, Alaba, Carreras, Valverde (Gonsalo Garcia, 75'), Chuameni, Camavinga (Diaz, 64'), Guler (Ceballos, 82'), Vinicius, Mbappé.
This defeat exacerbated the situation in the championship race. Alvaro Arbeloa's team currently sits in first place with 60 points. However, if Barcelona defeats Levante at home on February 22nd, they could surpass Real Madrid in the league table. Osasuna sits in 9th place with 33 points, proving once again that they love to "touch" the big team at home.
In short, it cost Real Madrid dearly this time: lost points on one side, and a "free chance" for Barcelona to take the lead on the other. And in La Liga, no one rejects such gifts.
