WATCH: 10-man Real Madrid pegged back by Osasuna as Ante Budimir scores penalty
Real Madrid took an early lead against Osasuna in their bid to go four points clear at the top of La Liga, and but they have now been pegged back at El Sadar.
Real Madrid dominated the opening stages, and after 15 minutes, they took a deserved lead. The goal has come from the in-form Kylian Mbappe, who turned home at the near post from a fine Federico Valverde cross, and that made it 17 goals in La Liga for the French attacker and all three in eight days across all competitions.
Jude Bellingham was then sent off just before half time for dissent, which meant that Real Madrid were forced to play the remaining minutes with one less player. They had hoped to hold out, but they have now been pegged back on 58 minutes after Ante Budimir scored from the penalty spot.
¡BUDIMIR LO CAMBIÓ POR GOL! ¡1-1 PARA OSASUNA!

It was Eduardo Camavinga that gave away the penalty for a challenge on Budimir, and the Croatian striker dusted himself off to score from 12 yards. As things stand, Real Madrid would cede their lead in La Liga if it stayed this way and Atletico Madrid defeated Celta Vigo later in the day.

Dietmar Hamann makes Florian Wirtz prediction after Liverpool agrees transfer fee
Dietmar Hamann has predicted that Liverpool 's supporters will "love" compatriot Florian Wirtz after the Reds agreed a fee with Bayer Leverkusen for the Germany international. After weeks of negotiations, the Reds committed a guaranteed initial £100 million ($135 million) to the transfer, while the fee could rise to £116 million ($157 million) if various add-on clauses are met. Wirtz was the subject of interest from Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but he favored a move to Liverpool, emphasizing just how appealing the Reds are to join right now. Advertisement Hamann, who made 280 appearances for Liverpool, is confident that Wirtz will be a success on Merseyside. 'I think he's the best player we've (Germany) got," Hamann said, as quoted by Rousing the Kop. "And he's... well, obviously he won't be cheap, but I think he's a player who makes other players better.

But Wirtz is somebody, because if you look at the team now, Frimpong, I think he's valued at 40 million, he's coming for, he came to Leverkusen for probably half the money. Advertisement "And part of the reason why all the team is now worth probably a double of what they were worth before is Wirtz, because he brings them into play. 'He's got a great eye for his teammates, he's got a brilliant touch, he can finish himself. And he always got an eye for the pass. And obviously one thing is seeing the pass, the other thing is executing. But he does both. "For me, he's in the position, he's probably the best player in Europe at the moment. And he played in a team that finished, well, they were 16th or 17th when Alonso took over. So they end up winning the league the season after, this year they finished second. Florian Wirtz is set to join Liverpool -Credit:2025 Markus Gilliar - GES Sportfoto 'And part of the reason or the biggest reason is Florian Wirtz. And if he comes to a team, which is even better than Leverkusen, I think it could be a perfect match. And I don't think it will take too long, if he does come here, which I think he will, before the punters love him here. Advertisement 'And the thing, why I think he will be a success, is that he can look after himself. He's like a street kid. So he won't shirk a challenge. "He will be looked after by his teammates, I'm pretty sure, because he will be one of the main players next season. But if he needs to, he can look after himself. And he won't be worried, he won't be afraid of any physical presence shown against him.'

Rui Costa blocks Real Madrid move on Benfica star
Real Madrid could still be blocked in the pursuit of a key summer transfer target on their FIFA Club World Cup return. Xabi Alonso has already confirmed his squad for the tournament for the USA tournament and the international transfer window reopens on June 16. Advertisement Alonso has already secured deals for defensive duo Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold for a combined total of around £60m with the pair on the flight out to Miami. However, the former midfielder is working on a third defensive target, to land after the Club World Cup, despite Benfica adding Alvaro Carreras to their travelling panel. Real Madrid confident on Carreras deal Real Madrid had previously hoped to complete a transfer deal for around €40m, but reports from Marca state they will need to pay his full €50m release clause in Lisbon. Image via Cordon Press Benfica's call to add him to their squad for the competition is a power play from Lisbon but it will not end Real Madrid's interest as they prepare for a revived effort in July. Benfica fire back on Real Madrid 'completing' Carreras swoop The situation has caused tension between the two teams and Benfica will not simply step aside. Advertisement Club president – and legendary former playmaker Rui Costa – has offered an update on the talks and rejected rumours of a deal being wrapped up. 'Carreras is going to play the Club World Cup with us and he is a Benfica player. We haven't reached any agreement with Real Madrid for him,' as per quotes from Mundo Deportivo. 'There were proposals that weren't to our liking, in Alvaro's case, and for other players.' Costa's comments double down on Benfica's view of offloading Carreras with a fresh determination indicated that the club will not accept anything less than his full exit clause to allow a release from the Estadio da Luz.

Real Betis offering Man United record-breaking deal for Antony but on one condition
Real Betis offering Man United record-breaking deal for Antony but on one condition Manchester United's hunt for a striker is on hold until INEOS manage to move players on and raise capital for further reinvestment. Antony was earmarked as one of the first to depart after the Brazilian spent the last six months out on loan at Real Betis. Advertisement The 25-year-old proved to be a game-changer for the Spanish side, netting nine times while also registering five assists in 26 games as he took Betis to an unlikely UEFA Conference League final. His form has attracted the interest of several European bigwigs including Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen, but Betis are keen to hold on to their talisman for the long-term. Antony on the move They have offered the Red Devils another loan deal, but INEOS are keen to take advantage of the Brazil international's improved form and sell him to the highest bidder. The La Liga side held meetings with United to try and convince United of the merits of another loan deal, which could see his market value rise even further. Advertisement But the co-owners are aware that the ex-Ajax star's purple patch might end, or he might get injured, and hence are pushing for a permanent exit. Now, as per The Daily Mail, Manuel Pellegrini's side are ready to break their transfer record to land the United misfit. Real Betis preparing record-breaking offer They are planning a loan offer, but this time with an option to buy for £35 million. The team from Villamarin Stadium have never spent more than £25 million on a single player. 'Real Betis want further talks with Manchester United over a proposed deal for winger Antony following his successful loan spell. Advertisement 'Betis are proposing another loan with option to buy around £35million.' While the money being offered is definitely a lot more than INEOS would have hoped to recoup when his loan deal was sanctioned, they are likely to push for an obligation to buy instead of just an option.
