Player Ratings: Osasuna 2–1 Real Madrid

El Sadar witnessed a deserved home upset as Osasuna edged Real Madrid 2-1, leaving the visitors to sift through a sobering set of individual performances. From back to front, Madrid’s lineup offered only sporadic resistance, and the numbers reflect a night when few escaped unscathed.

Thibaut Courtois kept the deficit respectable with a first-half stop labelled “absolutely godly,” yet the Belgian’s evening carried a sting: a penalty concession that, while harsh, followed an unnecessary gamble off his line. The second goal, squeezed home from a tight angle, left him with no recourse. Rating: 6.5.

Full-back Dani Carvajal endured a torrid 90 minutes, repeatedly torched by Víctor Muñoz and unable to plug the supply line into the Osasuna box. The Spaniard’s lack of match sharpness showed in every footrace. Rating: 3.

Beside him, Raúl Asencio looked equally unsettled, losing duels and positional discipline in a display that screamed inexperience. Rating: 4.

David Alaba offered flashes of positivity—two dangerous first-half strikes plus a key block—but Budimir’s physical presence proved a puzzle he never solved. Rating: 5.

Álvaro Carreras emerged as the most reassuring presence in an otherwise shaky back line, holding his own in one-v-one battles. Rating: 6.

In midfield, Aurélien Tchouaméni’s passing wobbled at critical moments, yet his counter-pressing and timely interventions prevented further damage. Rating: 6.

Partner Eduardo Camavinga, deployed centrally and higher up, could not replicate the authority he showed in Lisbon, drifting through phases without stamping his authority. Rating: 5.5.

Arda Güler continues to search for fluency in Arbeloa’s structure, misplacing final balls and struggling to spin away from pressure. Rating: 4.

Fede Valverde provided the visitors’ heartbeat, driving through the lines to craft the equaliser. His withdrawal coincided with Madrid’s collapse, underlining his immense value. Rating: 8.

On the opposite flank, Vinícius Jr. mirrored Valverde’s influence, constantly slashing between defenders and manufacturing danger whenever he sniffed space. Rating: 8.

Ahead of them, Kylian Mbappé laboured through another off-colour outing, spurning chances and offering little threat without the ball. Rating: 3.

From the bench, Trent Alexander-Arnold announced himself with a sumptuous diagonal to Vinícius, though defensive gaps still appeared down his side. Rating: 5.5.

Brahim Díaz flirted with an assist moments before Mbappé was flagged offside, yet his skill set felt redundant in an already congested attack. Rating: 5.

Gonzalo García barely featured, registering just four touches and one inside the box; the decision to replace Valverde rather than Mbappé blunted any hope of a late aerial threat. Rating: 4.

Finally, Dani Ceballos offered a masterclass in what not to do—sloppy giveaways, poor decisions, zero impact. Rating: 2.

Osasuna, for their part, were ruthless when it mattered, capitalising on Madrid’s disjointed display to claim a statement victory that will resonate well beyond Pamplona.
