Hello and welcome to live coverage of the LaLiga meeting between Real Madrid and Osasuna at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano!
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Madrid need to start taking their chances if they want to keep Atletico in their sights at the top of the table and Zidane will want them to be much more clinical in the second half. Osasuna's problem has been their final ball into the box, but if they can improve that, they've proven they can be a threat to the hosts.
That's all for today, goodbye!
Madrid stay in second with that win, but they close the gap to Atletico back to two points at the top. Their attention now turns to the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Chelsea on Wednesday. Osasuna stay in 11th and they'll be hoping to get back to winning ways against Athletic Bilbao next time out.
