Vinícius scored a hat-trick!
First goal of the season for Vinícius Hat-Trick & Bellingham
With a great hat-trick, Vinícius Jr. dominated the game; Jude Bellingham helped with a goal and an assist, scored his first goal of the season. Rekindling their attacking threat and raising team morale, the pair was vital in Madrid’s overwhelming show.

Bellingham recorded a goal and assist!
Worsens Madrid’s Injury Crisis
Real Madrid experienced significant injury setbacks during the game, with Rodrygo, Éder Militão, and Lucas Vázquez all forced to leave the field owing to injuries notwithstanding the resounding victory.

Militao suffers season-ending injury!
- The most alarming is Militão’s damage since the defender suffered a significant knee injury that calls for both knees to be operated upon. This loss increases Madrid’s continuous defensive challenges and puts his long-term future under danger.
- Though their circumstances are yet unknown, Rodrygo and Vázquez also suffered knockouts.
Real Madrid’s injury list is rising, which presents more difficulties for manager Carlo Ancelotti since several important players are sidelined.

Raul Asencio call for duty!
Raúl Asencio Outfits First-Team Debut
The arrival of young Real Madrid prospect Raúl Asencio, from the academy, was one highlight of the game. Asencio stepped up and made his first-team debut after Militão left early, giving an amazing performance in defense and attack.

Performance was impressive!
Asencio showed poise and vision in the 42nd minute, sending a perfect long ball that burst through Osasuna’s defense and helped Bellingham’s goal be assisted, therefore ending the Englishman’s scoring drought.
Because Asencio radiates leadership and defensive maturity above his years, his playing approach has been likened to Sergio Ramos. His capacity for game reading, offensive contribution, and under pressure coolness points to him perhaps playing a major part in Madrid’s future.

Real need to strengthen defensive line!
Real Madrid Anticipated to Boost Defense during Winter Transfer Window
Real Madrid is still anticipated to strengthen their center-back lineup during the winter transfer window even with Asencio’s outstanding performance. Militão sidelined long-term and other defensive flaws highlighted, so the club will probably search for seasoned reinforcements to confirm their backline for the rest of the season.
Although Madrid’s injury situation still causes great worry as they pursue La Liga and Champions League glory, the triumph over Osasuna gave a lift.
