Real Madrid have missed the chance to move above Atletico Madrid in the La Liga title race after drawing 0-0 at Osasuna.

The visitors did show some signs of improvement after the restart as Marco Asensio forced a superb stop from Sergio Herrera.
Former French international Karim Benzema did find a breakthrough just after the hour, before his effort was chalked for offside, with skipper Sergio Ramos denied a late goal by VAR.
Zidane’s side now move to just a single point behind Diego Simeone’s league leaders, but Los Rojiblancos have three games in hand after their clash with Athletic Club was postponed.
Real Madrid face a cup double header with a Spanish Supercopa tie against Real Sociedad followed by a Copa del Rey clash with Segunda Division B side Alcoyano.
