The last victory for Osasuna against Real Madrid was back in January 2011.

The Los Blancos have strengthened their squad notably, including the high-profile signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, while facing some injury setbacks such as the absence of Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and Ferland Mendy. Antonio Rudiger will miss the match due to a red card suspension from last season. Despite these issues, Real Madrid boasts a star-studded lineup with key players like Vinícius Júnior, Kylian Mbappé, and Rodrygo expected to lead the attack. Osasuna, meanwhile, narrowly missed out on European qualification last season, finishing ninth, and are targeting a top-half finish again. The team remains largely unchanged from last year, with their key scorer Ante Budimir and playmaker Aimar Oroz still in the squad. Osasuna is expected to try a defensive approach to contain Real Madrid's attacking threat, likely "parking the bus" in an attempt to frustrate the hosts.
