Barcelona locked horns with Osasuna at the El Sadar Stadium earlier tonight as they looked to secure a win on the road in La Liga. The Catalan club made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 18th minute when Ante Budimir scored for the home team. Bryan Zaragoza doubled his team’s advantage in the 28th minute as Barca went into the half-time break 2-0 down on the scoreline.
Pau Victor got a goal back for Hansi Flick’s side in the 53rd minute. However, Budimir scored again from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute. Abel Bretones killed the game off when he scored in the 85th minute. Lamine Yamal got his name on the scoresheet late in the game as Barcelona crashed to a poor 4-2 loss away from home.
