Barcelona Dominates Osasuna in Rescheduled La Liga Clash
Barcelona secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Osasuna in a rescheduled La Liga match played late Thursday night. The game, originally postponed due to the passing of Barcelona's team doctor, saw the Blaugrana navigate a challenging situation: several key players were still fatigued from international duty and associated travel. Despite resting stars like Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, Barcelona showcased their depth and dominance, extending their unbeaten run to an impressive 19 games.
Early Goals Set the Tone
Ferran Torres opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a composed finish, expertly converting Alejandro Balde's pinpoint cross. Ten minutes later, Dani Olmo doubled the lead from the penalty spot after being fouled by Osasuna's goalkeeper, Sergio Herrera. Although Herrera initially saved Olmo's first attempt, a retake was ordered due to an Osasuna player encroaching the penalty area. Olmo made no mistake with his second attempt.
Lewandowski Extends the Lead, Yamal Impresses
While Olmo was unfortunately forced off with an injury, Lamine Yamal continued to shine, creating several chances for Barcelona. Substitute Robert Lewandowski added a third goal with a powerful header in the 77th minute, securing a resounding victory for the home side. Barcelona controlled the match, boasting 78% possession and completely dominating the flow of the game. Osasuna never managed to register a shot on target.
Barcelona's Unbeaten Streak Continues
The victory cemented Barcelona's position at the top of La Liga, moving them three points clear of Real Madrid. Their unbeaten streak, stretching back to late December, makes them the only team in Europe's top five leagues to remain undefeated in 2025. This win sets them up perfectly for a busy period ahead, with crucial matches in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
What's Next for Barcelona?
Barcelona's next challenge is a La Liga clash against Girona on Sunday, followed by the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid. With a commanding lead in the league and momentum on their side, Barcelona are firmly in contention for multiple titles.
