Hello everyone and welcome to another MARCA in English live blog, this time covering the Matchday 2 LALIGA EA SPORTS duel between Real Oviedo and Real Madrid at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere.

Los Blancos kicked off the season with a home victory over Osasuna last weekend. A converted penalty kick from Kylian Mbappe was enough for former player Xabi Alonso to celebrate his first league victory as a Real Madrid coach. The visitors will still be without Jude Bellingham, Ferland Mendy, Endrick, and Eduardo Camavinga due to injuries, but Antonio Rudiger returns after suspension.

As for Real Oviedo, the Asturian side didn't manage to kick off the 2025/26 campaign in style. On their return to the top flight for the first time in more than two decades, Veljko Paunovic's side suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Villarreal. The last time the two teams met was back in 2021, when a game played in Oviedo ended in a 1-1 draw.

Both sides are now determined to start the new season on a high, setting the stage for a clash filled with energy, drama, and intriguing storylines.
