Real Madrid hopes to win the league title for the first time since 2012, while anything better than relegation likely will satisfy Osasuna fans this season.

Atletico Madrid’s season finally sparked into life as they won 4-0 away to Celta Vigo thanks to an Antoine Griezmann brace.
Cristiano Ronaldo picked up where he left off following his decisive penalty in last May’s Champions League final.
Cristiano Ronaldo needed just six minutes to get on the scoresheet as he helped Real Madrid to a 5-2 win over Osasuna. He’s won every collective trophy, including a World Cup and the European Championship, but he’s never won a Ballon D’Or.
“From this clash we will take good things forward”.
Angel Correa added a fourth two minutes from time.
The decision has not gone down well with the former France midfielder who said that he is especially angry because the ban will keep two of his own sons from playing for the club’s youth teams. I am happy with what he has done. Anyone who wants free publicity or media attention talks about me.
Not that Osasuna posed much of a test.
Earlier my colleague released an article with 5 reasons as to what makes Cristiano Ronaldo the better player.
“Ronaldo is extraordinary but compared to Messi, for me and for everyone who likes football, there are no comparisons”. “The truth is that after a serious injury there are certain actions that you are a little scared to do, but that is normal”.
Madrid were caught cold when Miguel de las Cuevas’ right-wing centre was met with a thumping header from Riera to give the Osasuna fans something to cheer.
The hosts continued to dominate in the opening stages with Bale firing wide from a long-range free-kick then Sergio Ramos twice coming close, his second effort a fine header well saved by Nauzet Perez in the visitors’ goal.

But within four minutes, Mascherano gifted Alaves the lead again with a mis-hit in the box, Ibai Gomez pouncing on the error to score.
