Real Madrid welcomed Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium earlier tonight as they looked to earn a good result in front of the home fans. Los Blancos made a decent start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 42nd minute when Vinicius Junior scored after attempting to play a low cross. The Madrid giants were leading 1-0 at half-time.
Unai Garcia equalised for the visitors just five minutes into the second half with a solid header. David Garcia was sent off in the 78th minute which put Los Blancos at a numerical advantage. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s men struggled to finish off their chances and were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw at home.
Let’s take a look at how each Real Madrid player performed during the match against Osasuna.
GK: Andriy Lunin – 6/10
He made one good save in the game but won’t be pleased after failing to keep a clean sheet.
RB: Dani Carvajal – 6.5/10
The Spaniard was solid at the back and made one good chance in the final third.

Rudiger made a couple of crucial clearances but failed to deal with Unai Garcia’s threat in the lead-up to Osasuna’s equaliser.
CB: David Alaba – 7/10
He kept things tidy when defending inside his half and picked up an assist for Vinicius Junior’s goal.
