Real Madrid kick-started the La Liga 2025/26 campaign with a 1-0 win over Osasuna on Tuesday as Kylian Mbappe scored the solitary goal of the match from the penalty spot.

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.

Just 41 days after they crashed out of the FIFA Club World Cup, Los Blancos returned to La Liga action at the Santiago Bernabéu. Like so many times last season, Mbappé delivered when the team needed him most, bagging Real Madrid’s only goal of the match from the spot after he drew a foul in the penalty area.
