Real Madrid Fails to Overcome Osasuna After Bellingham's Red Card
Real Madrid dropped crucial points in La Liga after being held to a 1-1 draw by Osasuna, with Jude Bellingham's red card proving costly. The English midfielder was sent off just before halftime for verbally abusing the referee, leaving his team to play the entire second half with 10 men.
Despite taking an early lead through Kylian Mbappé's goal, Real Madrid struggled to maintain their advantage after Bellingham's dismissal. Ante Budimir capitalized on the numerical disadvantage, converting a penalty in the 58th minute to level the score and secure a valuable point for Osasuna.
The result is a setback for Real Madrid, who remain top of La Liga but see their lead at the summit shrink.
