Real Madrid style of play may surprise many people as they often play their best against good teams and win, while they play poorly against relatively small and weak teams. Osasuna is a relatively small team and seventh in the La Liga points table, but there may be questions about the quality of play of a strong team like Madrid. Real have been without a win in three consecutive matches in La Liga and have also lost points. After losing to Espanyol, Atletico Madrid drew with Real. The overall situation is not going in their favor. Bellingham's red card forced them to continue playing with ten players. Real had possession of the ball for almost half of the match and played with one player less. Atletico are still one point behind and Barcelona are three points behind. Although they were ahead in the match in the fifteenth minute, Real had a few more chances to score goals but could not use them properly. Barcelona are more likely to win in the upcoming matches, if that is the case, then there is a possibility of losing the top position for Real Madrid.
The team that Real Madrid failed to win against was not really a tough opponent for Real Madrid. I think the biggest reason for not winning this match is Jude Bellingham's red card. One of the best players of Real Madrid is Jude Bellingham but this player got red card and left the field at crucial time due to which the opposition team only got a chance to do well against Real Madrid. Players should not actually behave in such a way that the behavior could endanger the team.
Real Madrid is not already in a very strong position in the points table, maybe they are in the first position of the points table but if they perform the way they have started, they will drop to the bottom of the points table very quickly. I think Real Madrid have to be serious from now on and they can't make any mistakes going forward. Now if they make a mistake then they can't actually recover themselves from it.
It is truly unfortunate that Real Madrid once again had to get less than optimal results in the La Liga match. They just won against Man City in the Champions League and I even think that victory will have a good impact on their confidence, but strangely they only got a draw against Osasuna. It seems the red card was the cause.
It's not just Real Madrid who are unlucky, as it seems their rival (Atletico Madrid) is also suffering the same fate, where they also only got a draw against Celta Vigo. This is certainly a good opportunity for Barcelona because if they can get a win against Rayo Vallecano, then they will shift Real Madrid from the top.
