Preview, form, head-to-head, team news and broadcast details for Osasuna vs Real Madrid clash at Estadio El Sadar, with the league leaders travelling to Pamplona for Matchweek 25
Real Madrid head to Estadio El Sadar on Saturday evening to face Osasuna in Matchweek 25 of the 2025/26 LaLiga season, with the visitors arriving top of the table and carrying a strong domestic winning run into a difficult away assignment.
Osasuna, meanwhile, have made home matches in Pamplona uncomfortable for most opponents this season, and they will see this as a chance to land a statement result against the division’s pace setters.
With Real Madrid also balancing a European schedule, the challenge is to match Osasuna’s intensity and physicality while still finding the attacking rhythm that has driven their title push.
How the teams go into the game: form
Alessio Lisci’s Osasuna have been competitive in recent weeks and their home record has been a major part of their season. Having secured six home wins, they have collected 21 points from 11 home league matches, a return that underlines how difficult they can be to break down at El Sadar.
Meanwhile, Alvaro Arbeloa‘s Real Madrid are heading into the game on the back of eight straight league victories, with their 4-1 win against Real Sociedad last weekend allowing them to overtake Barcelona in the table.
An in-form Kylian Mbappé has netted as many as 23 league goals, currently being the frontrunner to win the Pichichi award for the second consecutive season.
José Mourinho skipped his Benfica press conference today, citing emotional burnout from the Vinícius racism storm in midweek.
