Osasuna eats children

Neither record of victories nor pressure on the pursuers. A Barcelona with an excess of rotations was devoured by Osasuna in El Sadar, who beat the leader 4-2 in a match in which Flick’s men spent an hour. Pamplona is a field for crazy people and Barcelona came out with too many youngsters who lost the individual duels against the Navarrese team, which continues to make its field a fortress where it continues without losing. Yesterday, the rojillos exploded again Bryan Zaragoza, Barcelona’s kryptonite.

You cannot deny Flick his commitment to the Blaugrana youth team, who, seeing the lineup an hour and a half before the game, was somewhere between bravery and recklessness.. Five untouchables so far started on the bench (Íñigo Martínez, Balde, Casadó, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha) while in exchange he gave reels to players like Sergi Domínguez, Gerard Martín, Pablo Torre and Pau Víctor accompanied by Ferran Torres. Quite a declaration of intentions. Going out to El Sadar with a central couple of 17 and 18 years old and Gerard Martín, 22, but with 195 minutes in the elite it is worth having them very well with a starting lineup that offered an average age of 23 years. Or not knowing where he was going.

The second was confirmed as soon as the match started with Osasuna beating baby Barça in each and every one of the actions in which there was a divided ball. The Blaugrana team did not know how to get the ball played from behind in the face of local pressure and the attack was non-existent.

Every loss by Barcelona in the center of the field, and in the first half there was give, take and distribution, was a scare for the Blaugrana. In the 18th minute, Pablo Torre lost a ball, which reached Bryan Zaragoza, who sent a candy to Budimir who scored the first, beating Cubarsí.

The goal was gasoline for a grown Osasuna that bit more and more in the center of the field, where he stole a ball that Barça protested as a foul, which the referee did not consider. The ball came again to the Blaugrana nightmare called Bryan, who with another stomp, this time delicious indoor soccer, surpassed Iñaki Peña and scored the second before half an hour.

Without shooting on goal once and absolutely lost, Barcelona was waiting for the break to redo the initial plan, which had turned out abysmal.

After the break, Flick remained firm in his bet and made no changes at the start, but brought out Raphinha, Casadó and Lamine Yamal to warm up.

Before bringing in the artillery, Barça already showed its teeth. Sergio Herrera saved a very poor shot from Lewandowski after a great play by Koundé, but Two minutes later the local goalkeeper failed in a goal kick that allowed Gerard Martín to recover the ball who passed it to Pau Víctor who played it with a weak shot, from a distance and tight that Herrera swallowed. Barça returned to the game and Flick brought on Raphinha and Lamine Yamal to press the last half hour, but the expected effect was the opposite. Barcelona became disorganized and Osasuna revved up until they forced a penalty from Sergi Domínguez after a mistake by Balde that Budimir converted.

Barça was already rowing against the current, without order or concert. Osasuna forgave the fourth twice, but not the third timewhen Abel Bretones stole a ball from Lamine Yamal and from the edge of the area scored the fourth before Lamine scored a great goal that unleashed a culé siege. But it was too late
