Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona defeated the Tuesday by the minimum to a combativo Osasuna that, in spite of remaining with one less before fulfilling the first half hour, was able to plant expensive and sell very expensive his defeat. Only Jordi Alba, with a finish bitten to five minutes for the end, was able to break the resistance of Aitor Fernández that was about to to close a night consagratoria.

The party was a monologue culé from beginning to end, with a Barça that also added a key drop in the first part after the injury of Gavi. Ansu Fati Replaced to the mediocentro and was one of which more tried it, although without too much clarity. At the end, a good assistance of breast of Frenkie of Jong was sufficient to break the wall 'rojilllo', combined with the excellent placing of the finish of the '18'.

Ter Stegen

Viewer of luxury during a first part in which the Osasuna, practically, did not touch the balloon. In the complement also had little work, but showed his concentration diverting with solvency a finish poisoned of Iker Muñoz. They are 25 goals to zero for the '1', absolute record in the Barça and LaLiga.

Jules Koundé

It went back to have a calm night occupying the right side. Unlike other parties, the Frenchman encouraged to go up to the rival area, taking advantage of the numerical inferiority of the 'rojillos'. It brushed the goal of head in the first part and his desbordes created danger, although it went turning off in the complement. Still like this, Xavi kept him during the 90 minutes.

Ronald Araújo

The Uruguayan neither had a lot work and was very near to convert the 1-0 on the end of the first part. Fast in the courts, the 'charrúa' always is a guarantee backwards and completed a performance average, helping to the team to keep the high lines to drown the rival exit. Unlike the party in Vallecas, this time forgot of the long balloons, an alternative that is used to to bother to the technician egarense.

Andreas Christensen

It left some interesting dribbling in the first part in an offensive action that well could finish with a finish of half distance, but did not have confidence. The Danish saw comfortable, again, beside Araújo in the centre of the saga, but is clear that still is not to the 100 % and Xavi opted for replacing him in the minute 52 by Eric García.

Alejandro Balde

It served a centre to Pedri that the mediocentro did not reach to finish by a pair of centimetres in one of his so many desbordes by left. Playing almost like an extreme more during the 90 minutes left spaces that well could complicate him the life to the Barça, but at the end the intentonas visitors remained in at all.

Sergio Busquets

Party quite complete of the captain, maybe his antepenultimate in the Spotify Camp Nou. 'Busi' Was flawless in the short pass, although lució something slow when trying add to the attack. His recoveries helped to suffocate to an Osasuna that had very little the spherical and, when it could project to contrary field, between Sergio and Frenkie commissioned to leave in at all the scarce offensive possessions that had.

Frenkie Of Jong

It enabled to Pedri with a big pass to the space in the action that propició the expulsion of Jorge Errando in the minute 26. Beside Busquets, Frenkie luce much more comfortable and the Tuesday was an authentic magnet to recover balloons. Also it encouraged to finish to door, but Aitor Fernández answered with a paradón. On the end, had the sufficient lucidity to enable to Jordi Alba in the played of the only goal of the party, with all the Osasuna put in his area.

Pedri

Although it still is not to tope, the '8' has showed things very interesting from his return that evidencian how the fault of rhythm does not affect in at all to his usual quality. It could play the 90 minutes and brushed the goal in a pair of occasions in which it did not arrive by very little. At the end, the Canarian gives the impression to be very near to recover his best version.

Gavi

The one of The Palaces and Villafranca had bad fortune. Xavi removed him grieve to the 36 minutes of game by an annoyance in the back and, although it wanted to continue, the egerense descartó run risks and put to Ansu in his place. The Wednesday will make several proofs to determine the scope of an injury that, in principle, does not seem grave.

Raphinha

The Brazilian was of less to more, turning into the first change of Xavi in front of his frequent losses. After the infringement that cost him the red to Jorge Errando was very near to convert with a free shot that brushed the crossbar. Further of this played, little more for the ex forward of the Leeds, the one who with the happen of the days follows generating a lot of doubts on his future.

Robert Lewandowski

To the Pole went back to close him the arch, turning into the second part a goal that was cancelled by offside previous of Ferran Torres. Again lució something isolated, by moments, although it did not leave to move to try participate in the preparation. Luckily for his interests, Carlo Ancelotti gave rest to Karim Benzema, by what will not have risks to lose the 'Pichichi' this day.

Ansu Fati

The '10' did a good work replacing to Gavi, but did not have fortune of face to the arch. In fact, a rival deprived him of the goal of head before the rest and, in the complement, his contribution went diluting with the happen of the minutes. The best, a pass to Dembélé in the 61' that the Frenchman did not attain to address.

Ousmane Dembélé

Ingresó In the 55' to occupy the right side, but did not have a good night. In fact, it wasted an occasion inmejorable in the 61' after a pass crossed of Ansu that finish finishing diverted, totally only. Still like this, it is well see him adding minutes and is possible that return to the eleven in the day 36, perhaps already with the clear-cut title.

Ferran Torres

The one of Foios was about to to mark in the first balloon that touched, but the carambola after the bad clear of Aitor Fernández left slightly diverted. Only it played a chamber of hour and, further of this played, generated little danger by left.

Eric García

Practically it did not have work like second head office and, in 35 minutes, participated very little in the party. To the central sees him , logically, lacking of rhythm, as it has played very little in the second stretch of the season.

Jordi Alba

The unexpected hero of the day. Ingresó By Balde in the 76' and finish marking with a finish of first in which it could not hit of full the balloon and this did that the spherical took an odd effect for colarse in the first stick of the arch defended by Aitor Fernández. It can have been his last big moment in the Camp Nou.
