Although the Barça needed to win to Osasuna and expect to that the Real Madrid 'punctured' in his party against the Villarreal, the things did not go out as the foreseen to the rest of both parties. A goal of José Arnáiz, that does some years dressed the elastic Barcelona and marked some goals with the first team, trastocó the plans of Quique Setién from the minute 15.

And the goal of Karim Benzema in Valdebebas, some minutes afterwards, went a new vase of cold water that did not have solution passed the first 45 minutes of game. The group culé left underneath in the marker of surprising form in the Camp Nou, where to date accumulated 42 consecutive parties invicto (36 triumphs and 6 defeats).

The goal of Arnáiz arrived after one of the varied incursions by the left band of Pervis Estupiñán, that did a lot damage to Nélson Semedo and to the rest of the Barcelona defence. A pass to the centre of the area of the player sudamericano, after arriving until the background line, allowed to Arnáiz finish very near of the goal to the short stick, beating like this to Ter Stegen and giving the surprise in Betway and the rest of houses of bets.

The forward rojillo did not doubt in celebrating the goal in spite of his past barcelonista, and after the target arrived some occasions more than Osasuna, mainly a shot of Moncayola from out of the area that was about to to put the second in the marker. The FC Barcelona did not have of clear opportunities to exception of two shots of fault of Leo Messi: one went to the crossbar and, the another, slightly diverted above the goal.

A Barça with the mind in another part

It arrived to the rest with a FC irregular Barcelona, grey and visibly tired in spite of the rotations entered by Quique Setién. 0-1 atypical to the half time, and that definitely broke all the sportive bets made until the moment. It did not paint well the thing for the Barça, so the Cantabrian technician commanded to heat to varied of his heavy weights in the bench.

It knew that the Real Madrid could conquer mathematically LaLiga this Thursday, but no that the FC Barcelona went out so soft in front of Osasuna in the first-half, with the title still at stake until the term of the ninety minutes. Bad image of a Barça that, seemingly, already was thinking in the Champions League and in the party in front of the Naples.
