Real Madrid have once again dropped points in the Spanish championship: The team of the currently injured David Alaba could not get past 1:1 at Osasuna on Saturday!

Kylian Mbappé put the visitors ahead after a quarter of an hour, but after a red card for Jude Bellingham (39') following a dispute with the referee, Real conceded the equalizer while short-handed. Ante Budimir scored for the Basques from the penalty spot (58') after being fouled himself.

Atletico miss out on chance to go top of the table
Atletico then missed the chance to overtake Real on Saturday evening. Diego Simeone's team were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Celta Vigo. Atletico's Pablo Barrios was shown the red card in the 7th minute, Celta then even took the lead in the second half through Iago Aspas from the penalty spot (68'). The Norwegian Alexander Sörloth (81) could only equalize for the home side. FC Barcelona could catch up with Real with a win against Rayo Vallecano on Monday.
