La Liga: Real Madrid Defend Their Top Spot As Barcelona Look To Improve Defense

By IANS News February 19, 2026 • 23:58 PM View: 151

Giovani Lo Celso: There is a new leader in La Liga for the 25th round of matches after Real Madrid overtook FC Barcelona last weekend, but Alvaro Arbeloa's side has a difficult away game on Saturday, travelling to Pamplona to face Osasuna at the hostile El Sadar stadium.

Real travel after Tuesday's 1-0 win away to Benfica in the Champions League, and Arbeloa will rotate his side against a team with three wins and two draws in the last five matches.

A lot of attention will be on Osasuna forward Victor Munoz, who has impressed since joining from Real Madrid's B-team last summer, while veteran striker Ante Budimir has 11 goals in La Liga this campaign.
