It is forbidden to get caught up in the euphoria of the victorious comeback of the Etihad in the Champions League: for Real Madrid, after the success in Manchester, it is time to dive back into the Spanish League and, looking at the standings, it is clear that no one up there (including Real Madrid) can afford to give up that famous centimetre. With this presumable concentration, the Blancos will go to visit Osasuna, ninth in the standings, on a positive streak for a few rounds and in good shape. Certainly looking at the precedents against Real Madrid, for Moreno's boys there cannot be great optimism, considering that the Blancos have defeated Osasuna in the last 5 official matches, including, therefore, the first leg with a large 4-0 scored by a hat-trick from Vinicius, the second of the season in addition to the one against Borussia Dortmund. For the Pamplona team, therefore, it will not be easy at all even if Osasuna's home record is very good, both in terms of points gained and goals scored.

Osasuna's shape and key statistics

Osasuna is in a constant moment of its season, always kept on a medium-high profile: ninth place in the standings and, in the last 5, an average record of 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

The team from Pamplona, ​​definitely gives its best at home, considering that, for points scored between friendly walls, Moreno's team is fifth in La Liga and boasts 21 goals scored in 12 games with only 2 defeats so far. 

Speaking of goals in the league, one name stands out among the others: Ante Budimir fourth in the top scorers of the entire La Liga with 12 goals scored.

Real Madrid's shape and key statistics

The 2-3 victory against Manchester City, which came with two late goals from Brahim Diaz and Bellingham, is one of those that can change the season and puts the Blancos in an excellent position to reach the Round of 16.

In La Liga, however, the battle is open considering that Real Madrid is first but has a one-point advantage over Atletico Madrid and two over Barcelona. Real Madrid away from home, as we saw in Manchester, is going strong, considering that it has won 6 of the last 7. In general, in the league, Real Madrid have won 15 of the 23 games played.
