Late VAR Drama as Osasuna Stun Real Madrid 2-1 to Jolt LaLiga Title Race

Barcelona can reclaim first place with a win over Levante on Sunday.

Overview

  • Raúl García scored a 90th-minute winner that was initially ruled offside before VAR confirmed the goal.
  • Ante Budimir put Osasuna ahead from the penalty spot after a VAR review overturned an initial booking for simulation.
  • Vinícius Júnior equalized in the 73rd minute from a Fede Valverde cross after Kylian Mbappé had a strike disallowed for offside.
  • Álvaro Arbeloa criticized his side’s display, saying Real Madrid can play much better as they turn to a decisive Champions League second leg against Benfica on Wednesday.
  • Defeat ends Madrid’s strong league run in 2026 and gives Osasuna their first home league win over Real in 15 years, lifting the hosts into the top half.
