Barcelona did not have an easy time against Osasuna for half an hour. The 1-0 came after a messy phase, when Braithwaite got the ball over the line with his knee.
Messi even jumped for the ball and seemed inspired by “the Hand of God” to help the luck of Barcelona a little with his hand, but that was ultimately not necessary.
Before the break, Griezmann provided a more comfortable lead with a lovely volley on a falling ball. A goal that Maradona would have enjoyed.
After the break, Coutinho took care of the 3-0 with a ticker and Messi himself once again took care of the pedal point with a nice dribble and a beautiful shot in the top right corner. His celebration in retro shirt of the Argentinian club Newell’s Old Boys will go around the world (see also read).
The only setback for Barcelona was the failure of defender Langlet. Barça has also lost Sergio Roberto and Gerard Piqué for a longer period of time.
