Real Madrid achieved a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Real Oviedo at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Gonzalo Garcia scoring the only goal in the first half. Jude Bellingham later doubled the lead with a strike in the 80th minute, assisted by Kylian Mbappe, who faced boos from fans despite his contribution. However, the match was overshadowed by criticism aimed at full-back Alvaro Carreras, who played the full 90 minutes without making any tackles, interceptions, or clearances. His poor performance led fans to speculate that it is the reason he was left out of Spain's preliminary squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The victory brought Real Madrid to 80 points after 36 games, as they prepare for upcoming matches against Sevilla and Athletic Club. Meanwhile, midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly committed to fighting for his position at the club despite limited playing time this season.
