Barça started biting and Lewandowski started failing. Xavi came out young, with Lamine Yamal as the starter, and the Polish striker was weighed down by age and was late for the most elementary actions. Osasuna put up with the initial Barça effervescence and revealed the fragile defense of the rival, which at times bordered on the dramatic. Oriol Romeu is a player as vulgar as he is a fighter. It gives so little prestige to have him on your team as it resolves you in his dull and dirty work, nothing exciting, without any technical interest but certainly useful for such a decimated defense. This is Romeu: rural forcefulness, village refinement. It’s no the same, but it’s equal. Over the weekend he was seen participating in folk dances in his hometown, Ulldecona.

Referee
Ortiz Arias (C. Madrid). He admonished Areso (Min.41) and sent off Catena (min.84) for Osasuna, and admonished Lewandowski (min.33, Gavi (min.67), De Jong (min.83) and Alejandro Balde (min.92 ) by FC Barcelona.
The ball did not reach the right side of the Barça attack, lack of fluidity in the team, insubstantial, slow attacks, far from the local area. Osasuna closed the interior corridors and Barça did not feel comfortable. Ter Stegen, and this is rare for him, was imprecise with his feet, and Barcelona faded away, lost control of the game, the effervescence and fog settled in the brain and legs of his teammates. The thick night fell on Pamplona.
Frenkie de Jong, omnipresent: the only one who stood out in his team. Osasuna, on the other hand, recovered and began to weave longer and poisoned attacks, but in any case without too much danger, and leaving the rival alive, who every few minutes had an interesting exit although he was not able to specify. Lewandowski shot like an Imserso bus on the way to Benidorm. Neither of the two teams was superior, but the tie seemed more like inferiorities. Sergi Roberto showed signs of a lack of amateur tension and lost an inconsequential but significant ball. Lamine Yamal played the weakest first half since he has been important. It wasn’t just his fault: he received few balls from a collapsed Barça. Aimar facing forward and from inside the area tested the reflexes of Barça’s German goalkeeper, who responded to what was half a goal with a superb hand. After half an hour, 54% of the game had been played in the Barça field, which was insecure with the ball even in the easiest passes.
In the last minutes of the first half, Barça got a little closer to the rival area, and after some confused and unintentional attacks, at the exit of a corner, Koundé scored the first with a header. A lot of prize for a team with serious shortcomings, without passing lanes. The whole world is beginning to know about Xavi’s square, and they see Barça come a league away and it is too easy to neutralize it. Bucket arrives little and with little danger. But it is true that this team has shown that in the second half -it happened in Villarreal- it can display strengths that have not emerged in the first.
No changes at the restart, Barça started with a long and oriented possession, but a very clumsy Lewandowski wasted his team’s offensive production with very rude touches. At any moment he can score a fantastic goal that makes all these mistakes be forgotten, but the mistakes existed and they were as serious as they were striking. Gavi’s ear bled from an elbow from Rubén García. The Andalusian had to staple the wound without anesthesia, live. If they do it to me, at that very moment I release all the bulls in Spain through Pamplona without waiting for San Fermín.
Osasuna did not give up and Xavi did not have the balls to replace my Lewandowski transvestite grandmother, and he seated Lamine Yamal to introduce Ferran. Cancelo made his debut and Sergi Roberto deservedly left. Few become a Barça coach, but if you do, you have to take advantage of this unique opportunity in your life to decant your life in favor of what you believe in. Xavi is the only counterweight that Laporta has at Barça, the only obstacle in his steamroller of regular commission agents. But the one from Terrassa is so cowardly, so accommodating, so unsteady in his convictions, that deep down he agrees with the president when he considers that he is not a sufficient coach for such an important team.
Osasuna went for the tie. Chimy Ávila replaced José Arnáiz. Before Budimir he entered for Raúl García. Barça began to suffer, Osasuna pressed. Cancelo offered a brilliant cross with the outside as the first of his actions with the Barça shirt. Lewandowski, who missed the shot, tried to emulate the Portuguese in the subsequent action, using the outside when he was not needed and of course wasting the play. Osasuna was looking for the goal, without success, without light, but what was missing was suddenly found by Chimy Ávila with a tight, perfect, unstoppable shot. Joao Félix, with the mythical 14 of Cruyff, entered for Oriol Romeu, that operator.
The joy did not last long at the poor man’s house and the referee awarded a highly exaggerated penalty, including the expulsion of Catena, which Lewandowski converted. Osasuna has reasons to be outraged with such a robbery.
