FC Barcelona has lost points for the first time this season. After seven wins in La Liga, the leader lost to Osasuna: 4-2.
Behind
It became clear in the first half that the changes did not do Barcelona any good. The team did not create any chances and saw Osasuna score twice. Croatian striker Ante Budimir headed in the 1-0 after shaking off defender Pau Cubarsi.
Osasuna’s second goal was also a nice one. Bryan Zaragoza was sent deep and with a wonderful foot movement he passed goalkeeper Peña.
Blunder
In the second half, Osasuna keeper Sergio Herrera helped the visitors back into the match. He blundered by throwing a throw at the opponent’s feet. Pau Víctor produced a roller, but Herrera saw the ball disappear into the goal while grabbing and stumbling.
After an hour, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha came into the team and Barcelona immediately became more threatening. They did not win, as Budimir used a penalty for Osasuna after a foul by Sergi Domínguez. Abel Bretones even made it 4-1 with a beautiful long shot.
Lamine Yamal showed his class with a nice goal. Despite the defeat, Barcelona remains the leader in Spain.
