The Spanish giants were eliminated from the Club World Cup earlier this week as they suffered a heavy 4-0 semi-final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey. Their extended 2024-25 season officially come to a close after the match. <\/p><p>Real Madrid&rsquo;s season began in August last year and spanned 68 matches across all competitions. Los Blancos played 38 matches in La Liga, 14 in the Champions League, six each in the Copa del Rey and the Club World Cup, two in the Spanish Super Cup, and one each in the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup.<\/p><p>The defeat against PSG also marked veteran midfielder&nbsp;Luka Modric&rsquo;s last match at Real Madrid. With only 41 days between their Club World Cup exit and their La Liga opener against Osasuna on August 19, Real Madrid had hoped to gain an additional day of recovery and preparation time. But Tebas was quick to shoot down the idea.<\/p><p>Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundodeportivo.com\/futbol\/real-madrid\/20250712\/1002498801\/tebas-vuelve-tirar-bala-real-madrid.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Mundo Deportivo<\/a>, La Liga president Javier Tebas president took a jibe at Real Madrid.

PSG does not change the date for their first match in Ligue 1, Chelsea neither in the Premier League. Real Madrid wanted to have 21 days of preparation, they will have 20. I don&rsquo;t think they will lose the game they are going to have with Osasuna because of one day.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680;&#128483;&#65039; Javier Tebas (La Liga president): \"I don't see PSG changing the Ligue 1 structure.
