cwith an incontestable victory the winning streak ended of Hansi Flick’s Barça, more full of young people than ever. There was never a real option to get out of Sadar unscathed despite the flashes of the goals. A very weak first half of the Barcelona fans left Barcelona mortally wounded, although the second goal came preceded by a foul, and a full and solvent Osasuna finished it off in the second half.
lon a streak ended up in Pamplona, like that of Tata Martino’s Barça, but on that occasion, eleven years ago, it was 0-0. This time it was a resounding and painful 4-2. Double from Budimir, goals from Bryan Zaragoza, the Barça nightmare, and Bretones against the insufficient goals from Pau Víctor and Lamine Yamal, who rested at the start. His entry into the game, midway through the second half, alongside Raphinha, was not enough despite that goal as he asked for a penalty for grabbing.
TOBarcelona were missing five starters from the start, including Lamine Yamal, and also Osasuna did things very well: very intense pressure in the center of the field, physical superiority and passes into spaces, spatially
Yeswith no imbalance up front either on the wings or inside, without recoveries in the high press and with very little depth and a feeling of danger when they managed to link three passes in a row, something that almost never happened, Barça I couldn’t even tickle to an Osasuna that closed tight and that when it gained a few meters it suffocated Barcelona or surprised it with entrances.
YesI saw the first goal coming when it arrived. Shortly before, a defective rejection Lewandowski’s move back had enabled Areso, who crossed the ball too far in his shot.
ANDthe red team He had his architect in Oroz and on his far left, Bryan Zaragoza, Koundé’s particular nightmare, who had already had a night at Granada last season and wanted to repeat.
dsaid and done. A loss for Pablo Torre It led to a textbook attack on Bryan’s end, who crossed for Budimir to finish with an academic header after beating the two centre-backs.
ANDThe goal was a classic at Sadar, a timeless one, as if the interpreters of the play were Martín and Iriguíbel. Or Ziganda and Michael Robinson. A classic on this earth. A textbook Osasuna goal.
lSadar’s atmosphere strengthened confidence of Vicent Moreno’s and encouraged the referee to come out with another classic: the details that do not favor Barcelona. A stomp like the one that started the 2-0 play led to the annulment of a goal against Barcelona on the first day. Not this time, what things.
Yesundoubtedly, Cuadra Fernández saw the stompbecause he explained to the protagonists that it was not punishable. The point is that Torró stepped on Pau Víctor and the ball reached Ibáñezx, who gave it first to Bryan, who came out like a bullet with the field in front of him, avoided the desperate exit of Iñaki Peña and scored a great goal.
dsuddenly, Barcelona was two down for the first time this season against a grown Osasuna, who still saw Peña reject another poisoned ball.
EITHERAnother very dangerous shot with the defense out of balance crossed too far and the second half was faced with two people down and, from the start, without changes.
Fwas very high and Barça was still not lucid although faster in the ball circulation, when an error by goalkeeper Sergio Herrera after having taken Lewandowski’s only shot, it led to a recovery by Gerard Martín and a shot by Pau Víctor which the goalkeeper literally swallowed.
YoImmediately, Barça had a few minutes in which they showed their head, but still without mordant and without continuity. Flick introduced the changes in search of a tie, but Osasuna knew how to resist the threat of Barcelona’s reaction.
Nor it had taken the rojillos a long time to start faking penalties, until Cuadra Fernández whistled one that was. A quick play by Areso ended up in the center for Budimir, whose shot attempt was prevented by a foul by Sergi Domínguez. The forward did not forgive.
YesOsasuna grew with the changes and Abel Bretones, having just entered the game, took a shot from outside the area and made it 4-1, before a final Barça reaction from the hand of Lamine Yamal, who achieved the goal. 4-2 and asked for a penalty, while Ferran hit the post.
