**PAMPLONA, Spain** – Real Madrid dropped crucial points in their La Liga title race, settling for a 1-1 draw against Osasuna on Saturday. The result leaves them clinging to the top spot, but with their lead significantly reduced.
Kylian Mbappé gave Real Madrid an early lead in the 15th minute, capitalizing on a counter-attack orchestrated by Federico Valverde. However, their advantage was short-lived. Midfielder Jude Bellingham received a red card in the 39th minute after a dispute with the referee, leaving Real Madrid to play a man down for the majority of the match.
Osasuna capitalized on their numerical advantage, equalizing in the 58th minute through a penalty converted by Ante Budimir. The penalty was awarded after Eduardo Camavinga fouled Budimir inside the penalty area.
The draw extends Real Madrid’s winless streak to three La Liga games. They currently sit atop the table with 51 points, a narrow two-point lead over Atletico Madrid and a three-point advantage over Barcelona – although both rivals have a game in hand. The result puts significant pressure on Real Madrid as the title race intensifies.
