Every row here comes down to three football clubs. Real Madrid, five times. Osasuna, five times. Real Sociedad, once. Two rivalries and one trip to the north coast — one of the stranger reading lists in football, and somehow a very good one.
The derby runs through all of it like a red thread. The twenty-ninth of September 2024: one-one at home. The eighth of February 2025: one-one at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, where the match was played that day. The twenty-seventh of September 2025: five-two at home, and the loudest answer in these rows to a question nobody had asked. The twenty-second of March 2026: away across the city, two-three, one of the two defeats in these rows. And then the twentieth of September 2026: the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, two-one to the home side, four days ago as this is written. Across those derby rows: two wins, two draws, a defeat — close, then loud, then close again.
Osasuna is the other half of the ledger and the quieter one. One-nil at home in January 2025. Nil-two away that May — the other of those two defeats, up in Navarre. One-nil at home again that October. Two-one away in May 2026, the fixture finally bending the right way on the road. And the sixteenth of September 2026: four-nil at the Metropolitano, the biggest win in these rows. And the pattern is almost too neat: every home meeting with Osasuna in these rows has ended with a clean sheet — one-nil, one-nil, four-nil. The only time this fixture went wrong was that May trip up north. For one opponent to take up half a ledger is strange; for the quiet half to produce the loudest result of all is stranger still.
Then the September week that made the season's shape visible. The thirteenth: away at Real Sociedad, at the Anoeta Stadium — named in the row, up in San Sebastián on the north coast, the furthest ground named in these rows — and it finished three-nil to the visitors. The sixteenth: back at the Metropolitano, four-nil against Osasuna. The twentieth: the Metropolitano again, two-one in the derby. Three games, eight days, and the map drawn once: the far north coast and then home, home.
By the numbers — La Liga: 2nd · 7 played · 5-1-1 · 16-7 · 16 pts · form WLWWW. All data from ScoreCrowd's match records, retrieved 24 September 2026. The line above is La Liga only.
The geography of these rows is genuinely lopsided. Three grounds get named: the Bernabéu, which is across the city; the Metropolitano, which is the home ground the file names twice this month; and the Anoeta Stadium, one long road north. The other rows here have a blank where the venue should be — including both trips to Osasuna and four of the home rows. So the map these rows name is a triangle: the two halves of Madrid and the Basque coast, with Pamplona implied somewhere off the named roads.
And the September week is the shape of it: three-nil at Anoeta, four-nil at the Metropolitano, two-one in the derby — a week nobody in Madrid is going to argue with.
What comes next is not in the data here yet. The competitions list says La Liga and nothing else, so this page stays where the rows stay. For now it is the derby, Pamplona and the road to San Sebastián, and on those three roads the reading so far is close to immaculate. Three opponents, three named grounds, and a lot of noise out of a very small map.
