Real Madrid were held to a draw by Osasuna in La Liga on Saturday, December 15, as the game was marked by Jude Bellingham's controversial first-half dismissal. The reigning Spanish champions remain atop the league standings but could fall behind Atletico Madrid and Barcelona if they win their respective games this weekend.
Los Blancos took the lead in Pamplona after some brilliant work from Federico Valverde in the 15th minute. The Uruguayan midfielder set up Kylian Mbappe, who tapped home from close range.
However, things fell apart 24 minutes later when the referee, José Luis Munuera Montero, showed Jude Bellingham a straight red card for dissent.
In the second half, Eduardo Camavinga was deemed to have caught Ante Budimir in the box. The Croatian striker converted the spot kick in the 58th minute to see both sides share the points at the final whistle.

The Spaniard had a solid game on the road for Real Madrid. He made the most tackles in the match (2) and had six defensive actions.
