The La Liga Matchday 24 clash between Osasuna and Real Madrid has just ended in a 1-1 draw. After a match marked by several incidents, including Jude Bellingham’s first-half sending-off, here are the ratings for the Madrid players.
Thibaut Courtois (6)
Good match from the Belgian goalkeeper. Impeccable in aerial duels early on, Courtois made a brilliant save in the 27th minute to help Real Madrid maintain their lead. Throughout the rest of the game, he was solid, except for Osasuna’s equalising penalty.
Fran García (6.5)
A solid game from the Spanish left-back. Despite the tension in the match, García kept his composure in key moments and made some excellent defensive interventions. Offensively, he made good decisions and, with his speed, put in a decent performance.
Raúl Asensio (7.5)
A flawless game from the young centre-back. As usual, Raúl Asensio was rock-solid, neutralising several Osasuna attacks. Strong on his feet, he held his ground perfectly. Real Madrid clearly have a formidable defender who will contribute a lot to the team.
Aurélien Tchouaméni (6.5)
He’s in great form. Even though he doesn’t particularly enjoy playing in defence, Tchouaméni once again put in a strong performance. Against Osasuna’s crafty forwards, the Frenchman stayed focused and solid. A good match overall.
Federico Valverde (7)
Dani Carvajal’s absence is finally being forgotten. Since Lucas Vázquez’s latest injury, Valverde has delivered top-level performances at right-back for Madrid. Thanks to his explosiveness and excellent physical condition, the Uruguayan contributes both defensively and offensively, making forward runs and delivering precise crosses—one of which provided the assist for Mbappé’s goal. A very strong showing from Fede.
Eduardo Camavinga (6)
Playing as a holding midfielder, Camavinga did his job. Since returning from injury, the Frenchman has added power to Madrid’s midfield. When he’s focused, as he was on Saturday, Eduardo is relentless. Unfortunately, he was at fault for a foul inside the box, leading to Osasuna’s equaliser from the penalty spot. A frustrating match for him.
Luka Modrić (6)
The Madrid captain put in another decent shift. Against Osasuna’s physical midfielders, Modrić tried to control the tempo with switches of play. However, things became much more difficult for him after Bellingham’s red card.
Jude Bellingham (4)
What can be said about the English midfielder? On Saturday, Jude Bellingham lost his cool with the referee. In a game where he could have won a penalty—and where his team arguably deserved at least two—he reportedly said something that didn’t sit well with the official, who sent him off just before the final whistle. Aside from this controversial expulsion, which left Dani Carvajal furious, there’s not much else to highlight. His red card, however, was a major blow to Madrid.
Brahim Díaz (6,5)
A great performance from the Moroccan international. Starting ahead of Rodrygo Goes in attack, Díaz brought speed and flair with his dribbling. He won several fouls throughout the match and held his own. Even defensively, he put in a solid effort.
Vinícius Júnior (7)
For once, Vini managed to keep his emotions in check despite some baffling refereeing decisions. Lively from the start, the Brazilian winger caused plenty of problems for Osasuna’s defence. Even after being denied what looked like a clear penalty, Vinícius remained composed and kept pushing to break through the opposition’s backline.
Overall, he put in a strong display with his dribbling and attacking intent, but unfortunately, luck was not on his side.
Kylian Mbappé (7)
On the scoresheet once again, Mbappé delivered another solid performance. Like his teammates, he was visibly frustrated by the result and the numerous contentious decisions that went against Madrid, but he stayed focused. Leading the attack, KM9 was very active throughout the match.
