Mid-term conclusion:
FC Barcelona leads 1-0 at half-time at Osasuna. The Catalans got off to a flying start and had a double chance through Lewandowski and De Jong in the first minute, which saw the Dutchman hit the post. Afterwards, however, Barca did not have any clear opportunities, while Osasuna became more offensively dangerous. However, José Arnáiz and Aimar Oroz failed twice at Marc-André ter Stegen. So it was the mostly harmless FC Barcelona who took the lead with a header from Jules Koundé just before half-time. Although Pablo Ibáñez wanted to have seen a foul in the duel with the goal scorer, the action was clean. Barca’s lead isn’t entirely undeserved, but it was an even first half.

Tooor for FC Barcelona, 0:1 by Jules Koundé
Gündogan takes a corner kick from the right into the centre, where Koundé and Pablo Ibáñez head-to-head. The France international hits the ball perfectly and places it precisely in the left corner. Pablo Ibáñez, who fell to the ground, pleads for a foul, but the goal scorer’s fault is not evident.
45
21:46
The last minutes of the first half are running and Barca try again with a “final offensive. However, the attacking line hardly moves, which is why de Jong tries a half-court cross, which can be cleared by Herrando for a corner. However, the ensuing standard can be mitigated by Rubén García at the near post. However, there is another corner kick.
43
21:43
Koundé tries a shot from the second row, which lands uncomfortably in front of Aitor Fernández and jumps into the keeper’s chest. The ball bounces forward, but the Osasuna goalkeeper is immediately back on his feet and grabs it safely.
41
21:41
Areso (CA Osasuna) is shown a yellow card.
Areso is in a nap and doesn’t see Gavi pass him at the halfway point. Accordingly, the young full-back can only save himself with a tactical foul.
40
21:41
CA Osasuna wins a free kick at half-left position. Rubén García swings the ball dangerously in the middle, but Christensen clears with a header. A little later, the hosts receive a corner kick from the right, but Gündoğan at the near post can easily clear it.
38
21:39
De Jong boosts and plays a one-two with Lewandowski in the penalty area. On the left of the penalty area, the Dutchman, who at least tried, can get a corner kick out. İlkay Gündoğan takes a swing, but the ball goes too high and too long. Aitor Fernández fell in the six-yard box in a duel with Lamine Yamal. Accordingly, the scene was also stopped.
36
21:37
FC Barcelona no longer has compelling opportunities. In a way, the pace dribbling Dembélé was capable of before his PSG move is missing. In addition, Ferran Torres and Raphinha, who have similar qualities, are only on the bench, while Fati is also currently on loan. The Catalans’ game is too slow, too static and doesn’t hold any surprises for the opponent.
33
21:33
Yellow card for Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona)
Lewandowski has his arm in his opponent’s face again. The victim this time is Herrando. Now referee Arias rightly gives the yellow card for the first time.
32
21:33
Great chance for Osasuna! Arusa plays a great one-two on the right and serves Aimer Oroz with a low cross, who can finish from ten meters, central position. However, the 21-year-old’s shot is half-height and relatively centered. Accordingly, Marc-André ter Stegen can parry the leather with a good reflex.
31
21:31
Lewandowski can only accept a long pass from Romeu with problems and then has to fight Munoz. The attacker prevails, but has his arm in the opponent’s face. Accordingly, the scene is also rightly whistled off.
29
21:29
Osasuna settles in front. Juan Cruz tries a long throw-in from the left, which Koundé heads off at the near post but falls at Munoz’s feet. The defensive midfielder tries from 20 meters, but his shot is deflected.
27
21:28
Again Gündoğan can only help himself with a foul and gets José Arnáiz off his feet. The midfielder misses another card but Osasuna concedes a free-kick from 35 yards out, which sees Aimar Oroz finish 20 yards from goal. However, the shot from a central position is deflected.
25
21:26
ter Stegen is really challenged for the first time! Rubén Garcia serves José Arnáiz with a pass, who is looking for a shot on the right in the penalty area. The ball is deflected by Baldé and is uncomfortable for the keeper. However, the former Gladbacher pulls his arms up in time and can parry the conclusion from ten meters.
22
21:23
Osasuna gets into a slightly longer ball possession phase for the first time and works out a corner from the right side through a blocked half-field cross from Areso. However, Rubén García hits the standard too close to the goal, which is why Marc-André ter Stegen can easily get the ball out of the danger zone on the ground.
20
21:21
The Barca game still lacks a bit of precision in the last third. Again and again the Catalans play their way to the opposing baseline, but the crosses, which are usually played behind the defense, get stuck on it.
18
21:20
Yamal is brought down quite rudely by Aimar Oroz on the right, and Barcelona’s free-kick continues on the halfway line. The gait on both sides is becoming increasingly tough, even if the referee still manages without warnings. A little later, Yamal is again a little late against Oroz, but the referee’s whistle remains silent.
16
21:17
Gündogan makes a clear tactical foul and brings down Iker Muñoz, who understandably demands a warning for his opponent. However, the Barca pro is lucky and gets away with a warning.
14
21:15
Osasuna hardly dares to leave their own half, while Barca show their classic possession game. The leather circulates safely through its own ranks. Only fouls can interrupt the flow of the game again and again.
12.
21:12
Romeu plays a nice diagonal ball in the direction of Yamal, who tries to finish on the inside right of the penalty area, but fails on the block of an Osasuna defender. However, the hosts cannot free themselves in slapstik fashion, which is why the ball falls nine meters before the goal Gündogan’s feet. However, the conclusion of the German international is also deflected.
9.
21:09
FC Osasuna became a threat for the first time after Rubén Garcia captured the ball on the right and passed it to Aimar Oroz. The hosts’ ten have plenty of space and try to finish 17 yards from goal. However, Jules Koundé is in good shape and can block the opponent’s shot.
7.
21:07
Romeu hits a strong long ball from the center of midfield into the path of Lamine Yamal, who is fighting a running duel with Juan Cruz on the right. The Osasuna pro is one step faster and can clear successfully.
5.
21:06
Gündogan makes a great impression in midfield and then plays a strong pass to Álex Balde on the left. The left-back moves to the baseline, but his attempt to find a team-mate behind the defense fails.
3.
21:04
FC Barcelona starts extremely powerful and shows a good positional play. The hosts have not come into the duels so far, which is why it is only going in one direction.
1.
21:04
Awesome chance in the first minute! First, de Jong hits a fantastic half-field cross from the left to the far post, where Gündogan wants to head the ball back to Lewandowski in the middle, but Poland can’t find it. However, Herrando’s save falls short, allowing De Jong to shoot from 16 yards and put the ball on the right post. The rebound lands in front of Lewandowski’s feet, who, however, is too surprised and shoots the ball past the right post from close range. Incredible luck for Osasuna.
1.
21:01
The ball rolls. The Catalans play in light blue, while the hosts wear their home red.
20:58
The two teams meet today for the 93rd time. In a direct comparison, FC Barcelona is ahead with 54 wins, 19 draws and 18 defeats. The players are about to step onto the lawn of Pamplona’s Estadio El Sadar. The backdrop is atmospheric and offers a suitable setting for the last match of the fourth day of the game.
20:41
Barca coach Xavi makes just one change compared to the 4-3 win against Villarreal. This concerns the left-back position, where Álex Balde moves into the starting XI for Marcos Alonso. New signings João Cancelo and João Félix are in the squad and could play a role later. Barca will also play in a 4-3-3 formation. On paper, the line-up reads quite defensively, as in the weeks before. It will be interesting to see if Robert Lewandowski will be fed enough balls.
20:30
Osansuna coach Jagoba Arrasate made three changes to his team in the 2-1 win over Valencia. Goalkeeper Sergio Herrera is on the bench, as is central defender David García and right winger Kike Barja. The trio is replaced in position by Aitor Fernández, Herrando and Rubén García. Tactically, everything stays with the 4-3-3 system.
20:19
FC Barcelona has not quite arrived in the new season yet. After the draw against Getafe (0-0) at the start, two rather narrow victories against Cadiz (2-0) and Villarreal (4-3) followed. A win is needed today to take second place in the table and stay on Real Madrid’s heels. With João Cancelo and João Félix, the Catalans made another clear statement towards the end of the transfer phase.
20:13
CA Osasuna should only be partially satisfied with the start of the new season. In the league, the result with six points after three games can be seen. Thanks to the two away wins in Valencia and Celta Vigo, the club find themselves in ninth place and could jump to third place with a win. Internationally, however, Osasuna said goodbye before things could really get going. Against the Belgian representative Club Brugge they were eliminated early in the Conference League play-offs.
20:06
Hello and welcome to the fourth round of the Spanish La Liga. Tonight, CA Osasuna and FC Barcelona meet. Kick-off is at 9 p.m.
