Possible Real Madrid - Osasuna line-up: Which channel is broadcasting the match

The day has finally arrived: Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid begins its journey in the manager from Tolosa's first league campaign. The first match of that league will be against Osasuna, a game the white club faces with great excitement, especially because of what happened during the Club World Cup and the preseason.

The good performance shown by the Basque coach's players, except for the semifinal against PSG, gives white fans reasons to keep their hopes alive. The main goal of the current coaching staff is to regain the winning path at all costs, so the newcomers to Santiago Bernabéu locker room will be essential in those efforts.

Xabi Alonso's team arrives with multiple absences for the first match of the 25/26 season at Santiago Bernabéu. The league debut will be hampered by the absence of AntonioRüdiger, still suspended for one match, given his behavior in the last Copa del Rey final. The injured Real Madrid players are Jude Bellingham, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, and Endrick: they are all already working in Valdebebas, although separately from their teammates.

Knowing that much more is at stake than just three points, Xabi Alonso would have already prepared his starting eleven: Courtois; Trent, Militão, Huijsen, Carreras; Tchouaméni, Valverde, Güler; Brahim, Vinícius, Mbappé.

Critical moment

The visiting team has waited until this Tuesday to start, at the same time as Real Madrid, its 25/26 league campaign. Unlike the white squad, Alessio Lisci's players haven't suffered any injuries during their preseason. Therefore, the Italian coach will be able to count on practically all the players Vicente Moreno had at his disposal last season.

Only two players have left Osasuna this summer, compared to last season. The Pamplona bosses decided to sell Jesús Areso to Athletic Club de Bilbao, while the loan of Bryan Zaragoza from Bayern Munich has already ended. Nevertheless, Alessio Lisci wants to surprise at Santiago Bernabéu with this line-up: Sergio Herrera; Rosier, Catena, Boyomo, Juan Cruz, Bretones; Torró, Moncayola; Rubén García, Aimar Oroz; Budimir.

The match between Real Madrid and Osasuna will be played at Santiago Bernabéu. Both teams will meet today, Tuesday, August 19, 2025, at 9:00 p.m., in a clash refereed by Adrián Cordero Vega and Daniel Jesús Trujillo Suárez.

This match can be watched on the channels M+ LaLiga TV (M54-O110), M+ LaLiga TV 2 (M57 O112), Orange Fútbol 1 (108), and LaLiga TV Bar, from Movistar Plus. The match can also be followed live in detail through the Defensa Central website.
