Real Madrid, though, aren’t in action until Tuesday, when they host Osasuna at the Bernabeu at 9pm local time. That’s a fairly unusual situation, as La Liga matchdays generally tend to be at most spread across Friday-Monday — the occasional midweek fixtures aside, of course.

Franco Mastantuono will be officially unveiled by Real Madrid on Thursday, and his jersey number could play a key role in determining the club’s next moves ahead of the 2025–26 La Liga season.
