"Real Madrid missed the chance to extend their lead at the top of LaLiga as they stumbled to a shock 2-1 loss to Osasuna on Saturday. With Barcelona not in action until their meeting with Levante on Sunday, Alvaro Arbeloa's side had the opportunity to move five points clear but were instead handed their first defeat to Osasuna since 2011."
"Osasuna continued to threaten as Budimir struck the woodwork soon after, and the Croatian was eventually rewarded for his persistence when he was controversially felled inside the box by Courtois in the 38th minute. Budimir made no mistake from 12 yards out, sending his spot kick into the bottom left corner with ease to put Osasuna ahead, though Arda Guler saw a powerful effort fly narrowly wide minutes after the break."
"Vinicius Junior restored parity to give Madrid hope of a late comeback as he pounced to meet Fede Valverde's superb low cross. Moments later, Mbappe saw an effort cleared off the line, further sparking optimism, but it was not to be for the visitors. Dani Ceballos' loose giveaway ultimately proved costly, allowing Raul Moro to race forward and tee up Raul Garcia, who cut inside Raul Asencio before curling a brilliant finish past Courtois to seal all three points and send El Sadar into raptures."
Real Madrid stumbled to a shock 2-1 defeat at Osasuna, missing an opportunity to move five points clear at the top of LaLiga. Madrid were under early pressure and Thibaut Courtois produced a spectacular stop to deny Ante Budimir. Budimir struck the woodwork and then won and converted a controversial penalty in the 38th minute. Vinicius Junior equalised early in the second half, and Mbappe had a goal ruled out for offside and later saw an effort cleared off the line. A loose Dani Ceballos pass allowed Raul Moro to set up Raul Garcia, whose curled finish sealed the win and ended an 11-match losing run against Real Madrid dating back to 2011.
