But being Osasuna's guest at the moment is not an easy challenge. Los Rojillos is playing well from the beginning of the 2022/23 season, at least compared to the strength and class of the team. Two of the factors that help Osasuna make every opponent in Spain wary is the fulcrum of El Sadar's home ground and a solid defense.

Before welcoming Barca, coach Arrasate's army turned the El Sadar lair into a real fortress with a record of winning 5/7 past matches this season. In addition, Osasuna has only conceded 12 times/13 matches, the 4th lowest in the tournament. Particularly in the last 4 matches, Osasuna only received 2 goals.

However, considering La Liga alone, the Cataluyna team has shown top performance since the defeat in the El Clasico match in round 9. Accordingly, the last 4 rounds, the Blaugrana won all, scored 10 goals and kept clean. net. After 13 rounds, Barcelona tore the opponent's net a total of 31 times while conceding only 4 times, thereby becoming the team with the strongest attack and the most solid defense in the tournament.

Host Osasuna took the lead early

In addition, Barcelona also has an overwhelming head-to-head record against Osasuna: unbeaten in 12 encounters over the past decade (won 9). Although quite a lot of personnel and a tight schedule, compared to the victory over Almeria just a few days ago, Barca only had one "mandatory" personnel change in the starting list when Christensen took his place. Pique, the central defender has officially retired and being able to play against Almeria is a parting gift that the team gives him, not a professional factor.

In the 6th minute, a surprise broke out when the home team took the lead. Starting from a corner situation, David Garcia chose the right spot to hit the header without jumping, blocking goalkeeper Stegen. The Barca stars complained to the referee about Marcos Alonso being pushed down by an Osasuna player before the ball reached the scorer's position but the referee, after talking with the VAR department, still decided to recognize the goal.

Of course, as a big team, Barca reacted quite strongly after being conceded, but the attacks in the first half of the first half of them almost did not scare anyone. Even Osasuna was the team that caused waves like the situation where Gomez pushed the ball favorably for Avila to finish the left foot in the area of ​​​​16m50, shaking the net outside.

It was not until the 25th minute that Barca created the first and only remarkable situation in the first half when Lewandowski launched a pretty good kick in the middle of the penalty area but goalkeeper Fernandez played focused to block. successful. But not long after that, Barca's number one goalscorer (18 goals in 18 appearances from the beginning of the 2022/23 season, of which 13 were in La Liga) had to receive a second yellow card after the foul was seen. was deliberately aimed at David Garcia.

Difficulties piled up, Barca in a lack of people (also a leading pillar) increasingly proved helpless with less sharp attacks despite superiority in ball control. In fact, before halftime, Ferran Torres shot Osasuna's net after a cross to clear Alba's deck on the left, but with the naked eye, the line referee also recognized the offside error, without the need for VAR intervention.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Barca finally found an equalizer. Still the old general Jordi Alba stretched extremely uncomfortable from the left wing, the two defenders Osasuna surrounded Ferran Torres to block the ball, but thanks to that, Pedri was free to make an accurate shot at close range, bringing the match. return to the starting line.

It seemed that the goal could help the Blaugrana play better despite the lack of players, but it was Osasuna who proved to be dominant, especially in terms of creating opportunities. In the 68th minute, Chimy Avila suddenly launched a long shot straight to the goal in an unfavorable position and goalkeeper Stegen only needed a moment of inattention to definitely go into the net to pick up the ball.

About 10 minutes later, Kike Garcia finished a touch out at close range after a delicious assist from his teammate. At the end of the game, coach Xavi decided to refresh the attack when he launched Fati and Raphinha on the field and it was the correct decision when Barca found the decisive goal without having to play well.

In the 85th minute, Frenkie De Jong flew the ball too high or in the middle of the field to eliminate the entire opponent's defense so that Raphinha quickly jumped down to make a technical header, put the ball over the opponent's goalkeeper and then got into the net. . This is just the second goal of this player in La Liga 2022/23 - an achievement not commensurate with expectations, but recently Raphinha is still on the official list of the Brazilian national team to attend the 2022 World Cup finals.

Raphinha brought the reverse victory for Barca after coming on as a substitute

Thus, Barca officially owns the top of the La Liga 2022/23 rankings before the 2022 World Cup without having to worry about the results of rival Real Madrid in round 14. The recent victory has shown the leadership, fighting spirit to the end and the quality of Blaugrana's personnel.

After this match, the Barca stars who have been called to the national teams to attend the biggest football festival on the planet will soon leave the team because this weekend, Barca (with Betis, Real Madrid, Valencia) are not competed in the 1st round of the Copa del Rey because of the exemption because all 4 clubs have won the right to participate in this season's expanded version of the Super Cup (the tournament brings together 2 champions and 2 runners-up).
