There was liga this Thursday evening. Only a few days after the end of the international break, FC Barcelona faced Osasuna in a late match of the 27th day of Liga. The meeting was postponed a few weeks ago after the tragic death of Barça's doctor a few hours before the game. And the Liga had therefore decided to reprogram this match this Thursday despite the complaints of FC Barcelona explaining that Raphinha and Araujo, who played 24 hours ago with Brazil and Uruguay, could not play the match.
Despite the absences, Hansi Flick aligned a very competitive eleven. Jules Koundé was holder on the right, by Jong, captain, began with Pedri and Gavi while the attack was entrusted to the Lamine Yamal, Olmo, Ferran Torres trio. The latter started his meeting very well since he opened the scoring after only 10 minutes of play. A few minutes later, Dani Olmo was breaking on a penalty. His first penalty was missed but the referee decided to restore him to withdraw since a defender of Osasuna had returned to the surface too early.
Barça unrolls
Just after his goal, Dani Olmo was forced to go out on injury, replaced by Fermin Lopez. A new blow for the former Leipzig who was therefore absent 51 days because of the injuries since his arrival last summer in Barça. But that did not prevent Barça from quietly managing his advance during the match. Better still, on the return from the locker room, after having further dominated the debates, the Catalan club scored a third goal to definitively seal the victory in this meeting.
It is the top scorer in Liga Robert Lewandowski who placed a powerful whim (3-0) for the third goal of his own. The score will no longer move despite several other Barcelona occasions. With this victory, Barça, which was in the lead with a better difference in goals in front of Real Madrid, confirms its first place and now takes 3 points ahead. For his part, Osasuna, who will not have existed in this match, remains 14th in the Liga and misses the opportunity to move away a little more from the red zone.
