Mbappé Guides Real Madrid to Victory in League Debut
Real Madrid started the season on the right foot thanks to a solitary goal by Kylian Mbappé, who became the figure of the match against Osasuna.
The French striker, with his usual precision, converted a penalty in the 51st minute, securing the first three points for the team coached by Xabi Alonso.
The match, marked by Osasuna’s defensive solidity, presented a challenge for the merengue attack.
Despite ball possession and territorial control, Real Madrid found it difficult to capitalize on their opportunities, showing a lack of fluidity in the offensive zone.
The key play came when Mbappé, after an incursion down the right wing, was brought down inside the area, which allowed him to score from the penalty spot. This goal forced Osasuna to modify their strategy, opening up spaces in defense.
Although Real Madrid tried to extend their lead with plays by Vinícius, Brahim, and the young Franco Mastantuono, the score remained unchanged.
In defense, the team showed significant improvements in recovery and retreat, with outstanding performances by Militao and Dean Huijsen.
Osasuna’s goalkeeper, Sergio Herrera, also played a crucial role, making important saves that kept his team in the match until the end.
The debut left a bittersweet taste: tactical dominance and defensive solidity, but with the need to improve creativity and effectiveness in attack.
The victory, however, allows Real Madrid to start the season with optimism, while Mbappé consolidates himself as the undisputed leader of the attack.
Final result: Real Madrid 1-0 Osasuna.
