Atletico Madrid defeated Osasuna 1-0 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, with Julian Alvarez scoring the lone goal in the 55th minute. The victory marks Atletico's 14th consecutive win across all competitions—a new club record surpassing their previous streak of 13 wins set in 2012—and propels them to the top of La Liga with 44 points, one ahead of Real Madrid. Managed by Diego Simeone, the team has scored 35 goals and conceded eight during this streak, recording eight clean sheets. Alvarez's goal secured the 'winter champion' title for Atletico at the halfway point of the season. Earlier in the match, an Antoine Griezmann goal was disallowed due to handball.
