The La Liga season continues to develop, and in the second round, Oviedo awaits a serious challenge against Real Madrid, which holds the record for the most titles in La Liga.

Real Madrid, under the guidance of new coach Xabi Alonsos, started the season with a victory over Osasuna (1-0), where the key role was played by newcomer Kylian Mbappe, who converted a penalty.

Oviedo, returning to the highest division after 25 years of absence, played their first game in La Liga against Villarreal (0-2). The team features experienced Santy Casorla, as well as veteran Solomon Rondon.

The last meeting between the teams took place in 2002, when Real won the Copa del Rey.

In Real Madrid's squad, they are facing the absence of several players due to injuries, including Ferland Mendy and Eduardo Camavinga. However, new signings such as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Franco Mastantuono have already managed to prove themselves.

Mastantuono, an 18-year-old Argentine, debuted in La Liga in the match against Osasuna, and Xabi Alonsos expressed satisfaction with his performance, noting that he can play in various attacking positions.

Both teams are preparing for an important match, where Oviedo hopes for the support of home fans, while Real Madrid aims to continue their winning streak.
