Full time: 4-0, Barcelona put a show against Osasuna

Barcelona will finish the weekend in third place and continue to control their destiny in the La Liga Top 4 race thanks to a dominant 4-0 win over Osasuna at Camp Nou on Sunday night.

Barça responded to average performance in midweek with a sensational first half and more dominance in the second, scoring four very good goals, playing a complete game on both ends, and even resting some key players.

Barcelona could have been accused of some complacency in the last couple of games, but there was none of that in the first half. The home team was at it from the very start, with every player showing urgency and playing with intensity with and without the ball. The midfield and front three were moving the ball and themselves quickly in the final third, and Osasuna had no answers for an electric Barça attack.

The performance was excellent, the attack was creative, the defense avoided any real trouble, and the goals came as well: Torres scored a perfect penalty to give Barça the lead; seven minutes later Ferran doubled his tally with a beautiful finish through the goalkeeper’s legs after a brilliant assist by Ousmane Dembélé.

Dembélé shined again for the third goal with a fantastic cross from the right to pick up a great run from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Xavi Hernández made some substitutions to rest a few of his big players and just run out the clock. But the team continued to look for goals, and substitute Riqui Puig scored a very good one off the bench to add a fourth and receive some love from his teammates and the Camp Nou crowd.
