Barcelona vs Osasuna LIVE: La Liga result, latest updates and reaction after comfortable win for hosts

Barcelona vs Osasuna LIVE

Barcelona have eased to a 3-0 victory over Osasuna as goals from Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski mean Hansi Flick’s side are now three points clear at the top of the La Liga table. This fixture was originally scheduled to take place earlier in the month, however, it was postponed shortly before kick-off due to the tragic death of Barca’s doctor, Carles Minarro Garcia.

The rescheduling of the game has been rather controversial given it was hot on the heels of the international break. Despite Barcelona and Osasuna proposing other dates for the game to be played, their requests were rejected, and as a result, the hosts were without Raphinha, but coped fine without the Brazilian as Lamine Yamal and Pedri helped run the show.

That said, Barca boss Hansi Flick - who had been vocal with his unhappiness at the timing of this fixture, expressing concern over player welfare - will be concerned that Olmo had to limp off in the first-half with an injury. Follow the game back below with our dedicated match blog.

Vicente Moreno: No two games are ever exactly the same

18:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Osasuna boss Vicente Moreno has told his side to forget about the 4-2 win over Barcelona from earlier in the season as “no two games are the same”.

“Some things can be useful, such as general aspects, and others not,” he told reporters. “Every moment makes the scenario and circumstances different.

“No two games are ever exactly the same; within a game, no two plays are the same; something always changes, and this one will be no different.

“At the time, we prepared the game as we thought we should approach it, and tomorrow we'll do the same. We have more or less clear ideas about what we want to do, knowing that you have an opponent in front of you that sometimes lets you down or doesn't let you down, not us, but most opponents.

“You only have to look at the results they've been getting in the league in general and at their home ground, important results for them.”

Tonight's setting...

18:25 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Kick-off at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium is in around an hour and a half.

Why are Barcelona playing Osasuna tonight?

18:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Tonight’s fixture was originally scheduled for Saturday 8 March, 2025 at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium.

However, the fixture was postponed minutes before kick-off due to the unfortunate death of the Catalan club's doctor, Carles Minarro Garcia.

Just over a week after the postponement Spain's football federation announced the Barcelona vs Osasuna fixture had been rescheduled for March 27.

The date is rather unusual given it’s the international break and players are still filtering back to their respective club sides with La Liga action originally set to resume on March 29.

18:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has said he is "not happy" about having to play against Osasuna tonight on the back of the international break.

"It's not the best situation for them. The players have played with their national teams, and that's bad," he told reporters. "Now we have to play against Osasuna, and we have to talk about whether it's the right time. I'm not happy. There are other leagues that do it differently.

"I can't change that. That's my personal opinion. But we're going to play, we're not making excuses. The team is ready and we have to strive for the best performance. We're going for it.

"The quality of the team is good and we can beat anyone, even if the players don't get the optimal rest."

It's a tough one to call as a lot will depend on the conditioning of the Barcelona players that were on international duty.
