Real Madrid endured a challenging night at El Sadar, settling for a 1-1 draw against Osasuna in a match marred by Jude Bellingham’s controversial red card. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring, but Osasuna fought back, capitalizing on Madrid’s numerical disadvantage. Despite the setback, Fede Valverde produced a standout performance, while other key players battled hard in difficult circumstances.
Here are the player ratings for Real Madrid after a hard-fought draw.
Starting XI
Thibaut Courtois — 6.5
Made a few crucial second-half saves, particularly when Osasuna tried to exploit their numerical advantage. Handled aerial balls well and remained composed under pressure. Could do little about the equalizer.
Fede Valverde — 8.5 (MOTM)
Deployed at right-back, Valverde put in another relentless, high-energy performance, covering ground superbly on both ends of the pitch. Registered an assist after linking up well with Mbappé and slotted the ball across goal with precision. Defensively disciplined, his work rate became even more vital after Bellingham’s red card.
Aurélien Tchouaméni — 7
Showed his dominance in aerial duels and kept Madrid’s defensive shape intact despite the disruption. His passing accuracy was high, though he occasionally opted for the safe pass over progressive play. Maintained composure in tight spaces.
Raúl Asensio — 8
Once again demonstrated remarkable consistency, playing with the maturity of a seasoned Madridista. Strong in one-on-one situations, proactive in breaking up play, and precise with his passing out of defense.
Fran García — 7
Continues his steady improvement, showing more confidence in possession. Made several key recoveries and provided overlapping support down the left flank.
Eduardo Camavinga — 6
Worked hard but seemed slightly off his usual pace. Ball retention wasn’t at his usual elite level, and he misplaced a few passes under pressure. However, his defensive work rate remained high, and he battled tirelessly.
Luka Modric — 7
A calming presence in midfield, Modric’s experience helped Madrid control possession and counter Osasuna’s aggressive pressing. Completed 4 key passes and switched play five times successfully, ensuring Madrid’s buildup remained structured.
Jude Bellingham — 6
Unfortunate to be sent off after a contentious red card decision that drastically altered the match. Before that, he was energetic and influential, even playing a hockey assist in the buildup to Valverde’s assist for Mbappé’s goal.
Brahim Díaz — 6
Had some bright moments with his dribbling and movement, but the red card forced him into a more withdrawn role, limiting his attacking impact. Struggled to influence the final third as Madrid adjusted tactically.
Vinícius Júnior — 6
Electrifying as always, but his finishing let him down. Created danger by taking on multiple defenders, but missed two clear-cut chances, including a 1v1 with Herrera and a back-post header, both set up by Mbappé. His work rate remained high, but he will feel he should have done better in front of goal.
Kylian Mbappé — 7
Scored the opener with a sharp finish, crashing into the box at the near post. After the red card, he had to adapt to a more defensive role, limiting his influence in attack. Still, he created two golden chances for Vinícius, which weren’t converted, and missed a few opportunities himself.
Substitutes
Rodrygo — 6
Came on late in a challenging tactical situation. Tried to inject creativity, but with Madrid down to ten men, he had limited time and space to impact the game.
