MADRID (AP) — Kylian Mbappé got off to a scoring start in his second season with Real Madrid, leading the team to a 1-0 victory over Osasuna in their Spanish league opener Tuesday.

Real Madrid got their 2025-26 La Liga campaign off to a winning start, beating Osasuna 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Kylian Mbappe scored from the spot early in the second half to give Xabi Alonso's side all three points.

Real Madrid fans have spotted a major problem between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kylian Mbappe during their game against Osasuna. Alexander-Arnold, who joined from Liverpool for £10 million, made his La Liga debut for Real against Osasuna, having appeared for his new team earlier this summer in the Club World Cup.

In response, club president Florentino Perez hired Alonso and sanctioned around €180million (£155m; $210.5m) to be spent on new players, including defenders Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras and Trent Alexander-Arnold, along with exciting young Argentine playmaker Franco Mastantuono.

Two members of the first-team ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid are set to be afforded recalls at international level next month.That’s according to Globo, who point towards Rodrygo and Éder
