Team news and preview
Real Madrid, under the new management of Xabi Alonso, comes into the season aiming to bounce back after finishing second in La Liga last season, just four points behind champions Barcelona.
The Los Blancos have strengthened their squad notably, including the high-profile signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, while facing some injury setbacks such as the absence of Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and Ferland Mendy. Antonio Rudiger will miss the match due to a red card suspension from last season.
Despite these issues, Real Madrid boasts a star-studded lineup with key players like Vinícius Júnior, Kylian Mbappé, and Rodrygo expected to lead the attack.
Osasuna, meanwhile, narrowly missed out on European qualification last season, finishing ninth, and are targeting a top-half finish again. The team remains largely unchanged from last year, with their key scorer Ante Budimir and playmaker Aimar Oroz still in the squad.
Osasuna is expected to try a defensive approach to contain Real Madrid's attacking threat, likely "parking the bus" in an attempt to frustrate the hosts.
Possible lineups
Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois (GK), Éder Militão, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Deyverson Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Federico Valverde, Arda Güler, Fran García, Vinícius Jr., Kylian Mbappé, Gonzalo García
Osasuna: Sergio Herrera, Alejandro Catena, Flavien Boyomo, Juan Cruz, Valentin Rosier, Lucas Torró, Jon Moncayola, Abel Bretones, Rubén García, Aimar Oroz, Ante Budimir
