Barcelona managed to break their streak of consecutive losses with a crucial win against Osasuna, thanks to a goal from Brazilian youth sensation Vitor Roque. Javi Hernandez's side secured all three points in a hard-fought encounter, emerging victorious with a 1-0 scoreline at the Olympic Stadium.
The match began with Barcelona showing early promise, with Joao Felix having the first chance in the fifth minute, albeit failing to capitalize on it. Robert Lewandowski also came close with a header in the eleventh minute, narrowly missing the target.
Despite both teams having few opportunities in the first half, Barcelona's attacking prowess was somewhat subdued. However, Osasuna faced similar challenges in creating clear goal-scoring opportunities, resulting in a goalless first half.
Barcelona seized the initiative in the second half, with Roque making a significant impact after being brought on as a substitute. The 18-year-old forward broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute, scoring his maiden goal for Barcelona with a well-timed header from Cancelo's cross.
Osasuna's hopes suffered a setback when defender Unai Garcia received a second yellow card for fouling Roque, reducing them to 10 men. Despite their numerical advantage, Barcelona couldn't extend their lead, ultimately securing a hard-fought victory with Roque's solitary goal.
With this important win, Barcelona currently occupies the third position in the standings with 47 points from 22 matches, boasting 14 wins and 5 draws. Real Madrid holds the second spot with 54 points from one game fewer, while Girona leads the season's surprises with 55 points from 22 matches. Osasuna sits in twelfth place with 26 points.
