Real Madrid locked horns with Osasuna at the El Sadar Stadium earlier today as they looked to grab all three points on the road. Los Blancos made a quick start to the game and got their noses ahead in the fourth minute thanks to Vinicius Jr.’s goal. However, Ante Budimir equalised for the home side just three minutes later.
Dani Carvajal restored his team’s lead in the 18th minute as Carlo Ancelotti’s men went into the half-time break 2-1 up on the scoreline.
