KOLKATA:- Barcelona lost the La Liga match. Hansi Flick’s team lost 2-4 to Osasuna on Saturday after a seven-game winning streak. At the same time, the German coach did not set a precedent.
Gerardo Martino won his first eight games in La Liga as Barcelona coach. Flick, like Martino, would have won the first eight matches if Osasuna had been beaten.
But it didn’t happen. Flick did not include one of the team’s best players, Lamine Yamal, in the starting XI for the away match. Namanani Rafinia too. Apart from them, the possession of the ball was at the feet of Barcelona footballers from the beginning of the game. But they could not use the opportunity. Instead, the football players of the opposing team took advantage of the opportunity and took away the victory. Ante Budimir scored the first goal for them in the minute. In the 28th minute, Barca fell behind by 0-2 with the goal of Brian Zaragoza. This ended the first half of the game.
Trailing Barcelona stepped up their attack in the second half in an attempt to equalize. They also get results. Pao Victor narrowed the gap with a goal in the 53rd minute. But Budimir scored his second goal from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute to give Osasuna a 3-1 lead. That’s how Barcelona’s loss is confirmed. Abel Bretons secured the victory by scoring the fourth goal for the team in the 85th minute. In the 89th minute, Yamal came on as a substitute to reduce the gap for Barca.
Despite the loss, Barca has retained the top spot in the league points table. They have 21 points in eight matches. Second-placed Real Madrid have 17 points from seven matches.
