Preview

With Real's game postponed, Cristiano Ronaldo was free to celebrate his 32nd birthday at the weekend.

The Sport Bible marked the occasion with a look at the superstar's incredible career:

Ronaldo has struggled in recent weeks and was whistled by some sections of the Madrid support after some poor play in their last match against Real Sociedad.

However, the Madridistas were soon cheering the forward as he and Mateo Kovacic helped Real recover from a lacklustre start.

Indeed, as ESPN FC's Dermot Corrigan noted, the pair set each other up for Los Blancos' first two goals:

Alvaro Morata added a third after replacing the out-of-sorts Karim Benzema, so the Spaniard could be in line to replace him in the starting lineup this time around.

Zinedine Zidane's side shouldn't be overly troubled regardless of who comprises their side—Osasuna are bottom of La Liga having accrued just 10 points all season and have the worst defence with 46 goals shipped in 21 matches.

By their standards, the relegation candidates have improved of late with three draws in their last five league outings, but they were against fellow strugglers Valencia, Malaga and Granada.

Against Sevilla and Real Sociedad—third and fifth in La Liga, respectively—they lost, albeit 4-3 to the former and 3-2 to the latter.

If Los Rojillos can put in a similarly spirited performance, they could cause Real some problems, but with Los Blancos fresh from their weekend off and eager to resume their title charge, the bottom side will most likely come away with nothing.
