Osasuna 1-1 Real Madrid: Jude Bellingham’s Red Card Seals Frustrating Draw for Madrid

Real Madrid’s dominance was marred by Jude Bellingham’s red card as they were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw against Osasuna.

A Tense Draw: Real Madrid’s Missed Opportunity

Real Madrid were left to rue missed chances and a frustrating red card decision as they were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Osasuna. Despite a brilliant opening goal from Kylian Mbappe, who capitalized on an assist from Federico Valverde, the match quickly turned sour for Madrid.

Bellingham’s red card late in the first half – for protesting a referee’s decision – changed the momentum of the game, with Osasuna seizing the advantage. Madrid’s normally steady defense was under pressure, and although goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a stunning save early in the second half, Osasuna leveled the score through Ante Budimir’s penalty after Eduardo Camavinga fouled him in the box.

Madrid pushed for a winner in the dying moments, with Vinicius Junior creating several dangerous chances, but they ultimately had to accept the draw.

Key Moments:

• Kylian Mbappe’s Early Strike: 15th-minute goal from Mbappe after great work by Valverde.
• Jude Bellingham Red Card: A straight red for protesting in the 40th minute.
• Ante Budimir’s Penalty: A penalty goal by Budimir after a foul from Camavinga.
• Late Pressure from Madrid: Despite efforts from Vinicius and others, Madrid could not find the winning goal.
