Real played out an underwhelming campaign last term under Carlo Ancelotti, with Los Blancos finishing second behind eternal rival Barcelona in the title race. The arrival of former Bayer Leverkusen boss Alonso has coincided with a major upheaval in player personnel, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alvaro Carreras and Dean Huijsen moving to the Bernabeu.
Their first test of the season comes against an Osasuna team that will also feature a new face in the opposition dugout, with former Mirandes coach Alessio Lisci taking charge after Vicente Moreno stepped down at the end of last season.
Real Madrid plays Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Tuesday, Aug. 19. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time, making it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US, an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Sunday morning.
