Real Madrid are in for a mighty return to the Santiago Bernabéu when they take on Osasuna in their first La Liga match of the 2025–26 season.
After failing to win a major trophy in Carlo Ancelotti’s final campaign in charge, Real Madrid will be eager to start anew under Xabi Alonso. The pressure is on the new boss to lead his team to victory in his first La Liga fixture on the touchline.
The likes of Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior give Los Blancos the advantage over Osasuna, as does the sea of white shirts set to pack out the Santiago Bernabéu. Anything other than a victory for the hosts will be deemed a failure, especially after spending €178 million ($208.4 million) to bring Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Franco Mastantuono and Álvaro Carreras to the Spanish capital.
Here’s how you can watch the new faces on Real Madrid face off with Osasuna on TV and live stream.
