Overview
- The Brazilian scored in the 70th and 86th minutes, delivering the breakthrough after starting in a central attacking role.
- Ferran Torres had a first-half header ruled out by VAR for an offside in the buildup, preserving a tense stalemate until late.
- Hansi Flick started Ferran Torres over Robert Lewandowski, brought in Marcus Rashford, kept Eric Garcia alongside Pedri in midfield, and Joan Garcia deputised in goal as Gerard Martin returned to start in defence.
- Barcelona controlled the match with roughly 80% possession and 24 shots against Osasuna's three, breaking down a compact five-man back line.
- The result brought Barcelona their first clean sheet in six matches and puts pressure on Real Madrid, who visit Alaves on Sunday with a game in hand.
