<p>Real Madrid launched their LaLiga season with a narrow 1-0 victory over Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu. Following his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso faced a challenging start with the team, suffering a 4-0 defeat against PSG in the Club World Cup semi-finals. Alonso was selected as Carlo Ancelotti's successor, tasked with reestablishing Madrid as the top contender in Spanish football.</p>

<p>Last season, Barcelona showcased their dominance, with Hansi Flick’s squad winning all four El Clásico matches and claiming all domestic titles. Both of Spain's premier clubs began their LaLiga campaigns with wins, with Kylian Mbappé scoring the decisive goal for Madrid from the penalty spot, marking his 50th contribution (goals and assists) for the club since transferring from PSG last summer.
