Osasuna Beat Atletico Madrid 2-0, Boost Europe Hopes

Osasuna secured a surprising 2-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in La Liga, with goals from Alejandro Catena and Ante Budimir, boosting their hopes of qualifying for European competition. Catena opened the scoring with a header from a corner in the 25th minute, and Budimir, now with 20 league goals this season, sealed the win with another headed goal late in the match. This win propelled Osasuna to ninth place with 48 points, level on points with eighth-placed Rayo Vallecano, who currently hold the final Europa Conference League qualifying spot. Atletico Madrid, already assured of Champions League qualification, suffered their third defeat in five matches and remain third in the standings with no chance to overtake Real Madrid for second place. Osasuna's strong home form and recent victories have renewed their European ambitions, while Atletico struggled to find rhythm despite dominating possession. Upcoming fixtures will be crucial for Osasuna as they aim to secure a European berth for the upcoming season.
