Despite defender Pau Cubarsí being sent off in the first half, Barcelona defeated Benfica away in the Champions League, thanks to a goal from Raphinha in the second half.
The team defended well as Hansi Flick reacted by substituting Dani Olmo for Ronald Araújo. The squad relied on the brilliance of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, who’s become a fan favourite for his shot-stopping ability, unlike his competitors.

Barcelona defeated Real Sociedad last weekend in a match marked by an early red card for the opponent’s captain. Flick used the early 2-0 lead as an opportunity to rotate his men in the second half.
Lamine Yamal’s agent Jorge Mendes confirmed that the player is close to extending his contract with the club. The Portuguese superagent met Joan Laporta, and told the media that “we only talked about Lamine Yamal”. The youngster’s contract expires next year, and he’s already given assurance in multiple interviews that he wants to stay.
Relevo published a report confirming that Barcelona will not return to the Camp Nou for several seasons. Rumours claimed the team would be able to return this season, but the earliest date would be January 2026.
Marc-André Ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, and Andreas Christensen remain sidelined through injury.
Barcelona predicted line-up vs Osasuna (4-2-3-1): Szczęsny, Martin, Cubarsí, Araújo, Koundé, Pedri, Casadó, Raphinha, Gavi, Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski.
| Key Player to Watch | Raphinha |
| Team Strengths | Aggressive offside trap, high pressing, rapid transitions, established chemistry between key players |
| Team Weaknesses | Risky approach, lack of rest defence, overreliance on Lamine Yamal and Pedri to create chances |
| Key injuries and suspensions. | Marc-André Ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen |
Osasuna dominated the first half against Valencia last weekend, leading 3-0 by half-time. The third goal was a converted penalty by Ante Budimir, who scored his 58th. This makes him Osasuna’s all-time top scorer, but it wasn’t enough to guarantee a victory.
Valencia took control of the second half, notably through an excellent Umar Sadiq. He allowed them to complete the comeback and the match ended 3-3 with a complacent Osasuna at El Sadar.

| 02/03/2025 | LaLiga | Osasuna | 3-3 | Valencia CF | Draw |
| 21/02/2025 | LaLiga | RC Celta | 1-0 | Osasuna | Loss |

| 06/02/2025 | Copa del Rey | Real Sociedad | 2-0 | Osasuna | Loss |
| 02/02/2025 | LaLiga | Osasuna | 2-1 | Real Sociedad | Win |
This draw leaves the visitors without a victory in five consecutive games. Their last success was against Real Sociedad on February 2nd (1-2). A few days later, ‘La Real’ eliminated them from the Copa del Rey.
Two months ago Osasuna were 7th, but they’ve dropped to 11th due to their poor recent form.
Aimar Oroz and Jesus Areso will be sidelined due to injuries.
Osasuna predicted line-up vs Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Herrera; Bretones, Catena, Boyomo, Areso; Torro, Moncayola; Zaragoza, Moi Gómez, Rubén García; Budimir.
| Key Player to Watch | Ante Budimir |
| Team Strengths | Compact mid-block, intense gameplay out of possession, strong in counter-attacks through the wings |
| Team Weaknesses | Lack of goal-scorers outside of Ante Budimir, lack of squad depth, lack of impactful wingers |
| Key injuries and suspensions. | Aimar Oroz and Jesus Areso |
In 24 fixtures, the Barcelona club won 18, Osasuna took 3, and 3 were drawn. In the last match, Hansi Flick rotated his squad as his team was first in La Liga. The consequences of his choice were heavy, with the rivals inflicting their first defeat of the season, at El Sadar.
Barcelona’s victory against Osasuna dates back to January 2024, with the prior winning 1-0. Vitor Roque scored the only goal.
Bet hereWhile Lamine Yamal will remain at the center of attention as an invaluable winger, Flick must choose the right advanced midfielder to break through Osasuna’s compact defensive lines. The choice lies between Dani Olmo and Gavi, depending on what type of game the coach is looking for.
Gavi will likely succeed in matches where he must defend. Dani Olmo, on the other hand, is the more technical choice. He focuses on breaking the lines but gives up space behind his back.
As for Osasuna, the obvious choices would be Bryan Zaragoza and Ante Budimir. The latter just became the club’s top all-time scorer, while Bryan continues to perform as an explosive winger, no matter the difficulties of the team.
Barcelona are expected to dominate Saturday’s event, especially at home. Furthermore, Flick demonstrated he’s capable of responding to red cards, although he’s already been warned not to underestimate Osasuna.
The guests should rely on Moncayola and Bryan Zaragoza as their main threats in the final third. The squad are expected to set up in a compact mid-block, but the question is, how long can they hold it before Barcelona scores.
El Sadar is never an easy venue to play at, and if any team knows that, it’s Barcelona. Hansi Flick rotated his squad in his first encounter with Osasuna, which resulted in the side’s initial defeat of the season in La Liga.
Fortunately for him, the match will not take place at El Sadar. Instead, the FC club will host the game, with betting odds vouching for the locals. This is hardly surprising considering the team just won against Benfica with 10 men for 70 minutes.
Osasuna will be without injured Aimar Oroz. Although both sides are expected to deploy a 4-2-3-1, Barcelona’s superior individual quality should be enough to secure a win in the midst of a three-horse race for La Liga.
Though Osasuna are not known for their attacking prowess, their compact mid-block makes transitions through the wings the most dangerous attacking route. However, Raphinha has proven to be effective in these situations, as his runs behind the backline often lead to significant scoring opportunities inside the penalty box.
