Bryan Zaragoza Predicts a Possible Real Madrid Defeat at El Sadar
Osasuna forward Bryan Zaragoza believes that Real Madrid could face a tough challenge this Saturday when they visit El Sadar in Pamplona. The on-loan Bayern Munich attacker sees the fixture as a potential stumbling block for Carlo Ancelotti’s side in their La Liga title race.
Currently enjoying a resurgence at Osasuna, Zaragoza acknowledges that few teams can stand toe-to-toe with the reigning European champions, but he remains optimistic about his team’s chances.
Zaragoza Praises Vinícius and Looks Forward to the Challenge
In an interview with Kosner, Zaragoza analyzed the upcoming clash and spoke highly of Real Madrid’s star players, especially Vinícius Jr.:
“If you ask me about my role model, I’d say Vinícius. Lately, I’ve been paying a lot of attention to him. I like how he plays, and I try to learn from him. I’m not like him, but my game is based on what he does.”
Facing elite players is something he relishes:
“Everyone wants to play against world-class players. It’s exciting to compete against them because they are the best. We’ll try to give our fans something to cheer for, and if we can’t win, at least we’ll try to take a point.”
El Sadar: Osasuna’s Secret Weapon Against Madrid
Zaragoza emphasized the electric atmosphere at El Sadar, a stadium where Real Madrid has historically struggled:
“The fans create an incredible atmosphere. We want to make them proud and give them a reason to celebrate this weekend. Competing at our best is the key, and we hope to make them happy.”
Finally, the Spanish forward also highlighted Kylian Mbappé as another Madrid superstar to watch, following his goal against Manchester City in the Champions League:
“Real Madrid has many great players, but right now, I’d say Vinícius is my reference. Mbappé too—both are incredible, although my style is more similar to Vinícius.”
As Madrid prepares for yet another critical league fixture, Osasuna aims to turn El Sadar into a fortress—one that could shake up the title race.
