‘Real Madrid cannot afford to have more setbacks’ read the headlines of the Madrid newspapers as a warning, on that December 30, 1990, when Osasuna thrashed its rival at the Bernabéu, and distanced it by eight points from Barcelona, even in the first round. A Navarrese legend is that of that famous victory in Chamartín by 0-4, with Urban triplet. That Real Madrid of 90-91 had a precipitous fall that culminated in a very disappointing season. It was a winning team of five consecutive Leagues, which began a very difficult period with four years without stepping on the European Cup.
Real Madrid now receives Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéuin the middle of an unexpected fall, with rout defeats at home. The two teams have played 42 times in the League on Madrid’s field, with 33 white victories (78.57%), seven draws and two away wins; 114 local goals and 33 by the rojillos. The two Osasunista victories were both by landslide: a 0-3 in 2004, with Real Madrid leading, in which they lost six of the last seven games!, four of them at home. Plus the aforementioned 0-4, from 1990-91.
Striker Urban, a native of Jaworzno, a small town in Polish Upper Silesia, on the route between Katowice and Krakow, was the hero of that 0-4 draw, with his unforgettable hat trick. He scored 48 goals in the team The Sadarin 168 games, during six seasons, one of them in the Second Division. It was the first time he scored three goals.
That tough defeat was a warning for the 0-3, two weeks later, against Atlético at home, and for the elimination with Spartak Moscow, also at the Bernabéu (1-3), after almost twenty years without losing in the Cup of Europe in Chamartín.
