The team has started the new La Liga season quite successfully. First, they had a draw and a win, followed by two losses and one win in the next three matches. However, in the last two rounds, they first beat Las Palmas 2-1, and in the most recent game, they managed a 0-0 draw away against Valencia.
As a result, after seven matches, Osasuna has 11 points and sits in seventh place in the standings. The gap to fourth place is just three points, but it’s still too early to focus too much on the table. The match against Barcelona will serve as a good test for Osasuna.
The Catalans are the only team in La Liga that hasn’t dropped any points yet. Seven games, seven wins. Along the way, they have defeated some tough opponents: 2-1 against Athletic Bilbao, 5-1 against Villarreal, and 4-1 against Girona. Their place at the top of the table is well-deserved. Barcelona also boasts the best attack in the league, with 23 goals scored and a goal difference of 23:5.
However, in the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona started with a 1-2 loss to Monaco, though that’s not the worst issue at the moment. The injury situation is challenging. Eight players are sidelined, including Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, and Marc-André ter Stegen. The German goalkeeper is expected to miss between seven to nine months. Wojciech Szczęsny will take his place. It will be interesting to see how the team copes without several key players.
