Osasuna, like Real Madrid, have been playing in the Primera Division for many years. The team from Pamplona often left the top Spanish division, but returned relatively quickly. That is why the clubs have played quite a lot of face-to-face meetings. At the end of 2022, the teams have 89 matches on the account.
In terms of the number of victories, Real Madrid significantly exceeds the opponent, but the advantage is not as big as with many other opponents. The “Meringues” achieved a positive result for themselves in 64% of the meetings. Another 19% of matches were played on a draw. The rest is represented by Osasuna’s victories.

Real Madrid lost the first points in La Liga in the season 22/23
The Madrid club won its starting 9 games in La Liga, cementing its position at the top of the standings. Osasuna came to visit Real Madrid as an outsider. The probability that the “Reds” would take points from the favorite was minimal. But Osasuna managed to put the brakes on the “Galácticos” winning ways. The international break, during which Real Madrid lost Luka Modrić, contributed significantly to this result.
The Madrid club did not demonstrate its usual pressure from the starting whistle. The hosts created very few chances. Benzema’s shot came to mind; the ball flew over the bar. The team became even more relaxed after Vinicius’s goal, which was somewhat unexpected.
Osasuna evened the score after Kike Garcia’s header shot into the far corner caught the home team’s goalkeeper off guard. The “Meringues” went on the attack, trying to stage a final assault. But this style of play was not typical for Real Madrid. The team feels more confident in the space.
Real Madrid could have won that game, but Benzema missed a penalty. The French forward’s game obviously didn’t go well. Thanks to the draw, Barcelona caught up with Real Madrid in the standings.
Real Madrid’s away success in the 21/22 season
The previous meeting was the last for the teams in the year, while the clubs had their first match in 2022 on April 20. It was the 33rd round of the championship. Osasuna unlocked the goal of the “Meringues” through the efforts of Ante Budimir. Lucas Vázquez, Marco Asensio and David Alaba scored for Real Madrid.
The main event of the match was two penalties. Both were scored in the second half. Karim Benzema came up to the mark each time. In both cases, Sergio Herrera showed his best qualities. As statistics show, it is very difficult for the French forward to score penalties against the club from Pamplona.
The victory allowed Real Madrid to increase its advantage over its closest pursuer in the table, almost guaranteeing itself the league title. Going forward, the “Meringues” were able to win La Liga.
