Barcelona achieved a decisive 3-0 victory against Osasuna on Thursday, maintaining their top position in La Liga’s standings. The match saw Ferran Torres net the opening goal in just the 11th minute. Shortly after, Dani Olmo doubled the advantage by converting a penalty in the 21st minute. Throughout the game, Barcelona dominated with 19 shots compared to Osasuna’s mere three, and managed to prevent any shots on target. Despite the absence of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha due to international duties, Lewandowski made an appearance later in the game to score the third goal in the 77th minute.

This match was rescheduled after the passing of Barcelona’s doctor, Carles Minarro Garcia, earlier this month.
