Xavi post-game quotes:

We didn't play with the ball enough... we suffered but we did it.

It's always really difficult here in El Sadar, but I'm happy.

They put crosses in, they are an intense team.

We are happy and satisfied with the win.

I feel they closed the central spaces really well, we didn't generate enough chances.

They are 3 really important points for us in a tough stadium.

We used Cancelo to give us more numbers in the midfield as well as on the wing.

[Félix] can play on the left, in the middle and on the right. I like both Joãos. 

Everyone played their part in the win.

De Jong given MVP

Barcelona's Dutch midfielder was rightly given the MVP award for the game.

According to the Sofascore boffins, he had a 93% pass success rate and 100% successful dribbles.

Full time report:

Well, that was intense!

Barcelona managed to squeeze past a resilient Osasuna side who probably had the better chances overall.

Xavi's side, after suffering heavily in the first half, went ahead with a header from Joules Koundé, and went into the break a goal ahead.

The second half was much of the same, with the fantastic atmosphere growing with every home attack. The climax came when substitute and talisman, Chimy Ávila, smashed home from long range.

But it was not to be for Los Rojillos, who had a penalty awarded against them after Catena brought Lewandowski down. The Pole, after a quick VAR check, stepped up a slotted home.

Gavi is back!

An Osasuna attack goes to waste after Rubén García's cross is easily stopped by Ter Stegen in the Barça goal. However, that was a positive move from the home side, who had Barcelona scrambling as they doubled up again on the right side, where Balde was stood like a small child lost in his parents' second-choice supermarket.

Will Barça get the record?

It will take a mammoth-sized effort to hold onto this result in such a hostile ground, so let's see if they can do it.

as.com

Half-time score:

Well, I'd be lying if I said that Barcelona deserve to be ahead.

Osasuna have piled on the pressure for 46 minutes and have been relentless, especially after a wobbly first 10 saw Barça have a string of good chances to score.

The home side have given poor Balde at left-back a torrid time, with Areso doubling up with his teammates to overload the player and take advantage of the space he leaves behind. 

The chances for Osasuna have been saved by Ter Stegen, who, can now be forgiven for a few dodgy passes early on.

Barça, it must be said, have had their fair share of chances too: the closest, before the goal, coming from De Jong, who hit the post.

De Jong has led the side in the midfield and is perhaps the only bright spark of a Barça side who started well and finished well: everything else in the middle can probably be forgotten about.

as.com
45+1

Half time!

A late, late goal from Barça sees them go into the break ever-so-slightly in front!

We're into the final minute of normal time in the first half...

43

It's De Jong again for Barça, as it has been all game. This time, the midfielder drives through the midfield line of Osasuna and slides a delightful pass through towards Gavi, who is trying to break behind the defence. Areso covers well and clears. 

as.com
42

A half chance for Barcelona as Kounde gets bored of playing it around the back line and fires a long-range effort that is saved by Aitor.

Areso is booked for a foul on Gavi.

Osasuna, with 5 minutes to go, are still piling on the pressure on Barça's defence.

39

Barça players are not happy at some of the decisions from the referee...

as.com
37

De Jong conducts an almost perfect move from the edge of the box before driving in, bouncing the ball off the feet of Lewandowski. The cross from the Dutch midfielder is eventually blocked and sent out of play.

as.com
36

Barcelona come forward for the first time in 3,000 years. Yamal skips past Juan Cruz and plays a weak cross into the centre of the box that is easily cleared. 

as.com
34

Barcelona are struggling here; Osasuna are fully on top and are dragging poor Balde all over the pitch.

33

Lewandowski gets the first yellow of the game for a hand to Herrando's face.

The work down the right was simplybreathtaking: a stunning flick from Rubén García allowed Areso down the right and the cross met Aimar who shot towards the far corner... but Ter Stegen was there!!!

WHAT A MOVE FROM OSASUNA!!!!

31

WHAT A SAVE FROM TER STEGEN!!!!!

as.com
30

Lewandowski has dropped very, very deep, presumably in an effort to drag his team forward, as they've been very quiet for about 5 minutes now and allowed Osasuna to find their feet.

as.com
28

Catena connects with a dropping ball and hits a low shot that pinballs through a gaggle of players inside the box. Luckily for Barça, the ball slows right down and is nice and simple for Ter Stegen to collect.

as.com
27

Areso drives inside from the right, skips past one, two, three players and launches a missile towards goal... that is blocked.

I think we all saw his name in lights for a second!

as.com
26

The ball drops kindly to Lewandowski on the edge of the box and the striker fires a shot that flies centrally and into the warm grasp of Aitor.

as.com
24

Xavi is arguing with the fourth official. Tick that off your bingo card.

Fantastic work from Osasuna.

Aimar twists and turns in the middle of the pitch and plays to Arnaiz, whose shot is ferocious and well stopped by Ter Stegen after Kounde had forced the forward out wide.

BIG SAVE FROM TER STEGEN

Corner to Osasuna after another promising attack...

Ter Stegen punches away.

Osasuna decide it's their turn to attack and Areso does fabulously well against Balde on the right wing. The cross comes in but unfortunately for the home side nobody is there to meetit

as.com

A great chance for the away side!

De Jong gets ahead of Balde and the left back finds him on the byline. The Dutchman pulls the ball back to the penalty spot but nobody is there to stick a foot on the end of the pass.

as.com
19

A couple of decisions in favour of Barcelona have really got the already loud crowd whistling like a box of mad parrots. The noise is tremendous!

as.com
17

Ter Stegen has made two errors at the back now, mainly thanks to Osasuna's uber-high press on the German. Something to keep an eye on, perhaps.

as.com
15

Osasuna's press, as you can probably tell from my recent comments, has been keeping the blaugrana at bay over the past couple of minutes. They away side are patiently waiting for the right moment to move into the final third.

as.com
14

I've just seen Xavi shout "SERGI" about five times to no reply from the right back. That's how loud it is at El Sadar...

as.com
13

Gundogan's run goes nowhere as he's fouled by Aimar, but my oh my, what a flick through the legs of the midfielder. *Drool emoji*

as.com
12

Great work from Kounde, who gets back to steal the long ball away from Arnaiz.

Ter Stegen collects the smart defensive header.

as.com

Romeu, after a long spell of possession, finds Yamal on the right. The winger takes a touch inside and shoots, which is blocked.

The ball bounces out to Gundogan in the box but the reactions from the German needed to be lightning fast just to make contact with the ball and he sent hisshot wide of the goal.

HUGE CHANCE FOR BARCELONA

A long ball nearly finds Lewandowski but Osasuna's back line moves well to close off the space for the Pole.

Ibáñez has Osasuna's first shot of the game: a nice effort from the right side of the box after Balde was caught out in his defensive third.

as.com

Juan Cruz at left-back does excellently well to get back and cover the spacethatYamal spotted and broke into; that was almost a 1vs1 for the young winger...

Balde gets forward and fires a low cross into the box which is well blocked by Catena.

Barça are settling into their possession game; a nice string of passes in the middle third have dragged various players out of position.

What a frantic start to the game! 

Osasuna bite back with a few attacks but the ball ends in the hands of Ter Stegen.

De Jong chipped over to Gundogan on the line who, instead of shooting, played backwards towards Lewandowski.

The ball fell to Frenkie whose volley hit the post and Lewandowski fired the rebound wide form close range!

Where is Ansu?

Where is Ansu? You may be asking...

Well, the poor lad has packed his bags and is off to Brighton.

The young winger has had his injury troubles and is looking to pick up peak form once again, this time in the Premier League with the Seagulls.

If he regains his form, he could be one of the best players in the league and will undoubtedly return to Spain ready to fight for his place in the XI.

None of the Joãos are in the starting XI today, but their skillsets are perfect for breaking down a defensive team which we might see today.

Also, has anyone seen them apart from each other since they arrived? Maybe my thoery is correct...

Osasuna's Euro dream is over...

Poor Osasuna, after a huge legal case of whether or not they were allowed into European competition despite having qualified (basically their old owners did naughty things and the new owners were set to be punished for it, despite them being the ones who called the whole thing out). 

They got through to the qualifying rounds after a fantastic league campaign but they got drawn again against perhaps the toughest opponents possible at this level: Club Brugge.

They lost over two legs and unfortunately didn't make it to the group stage of the competition.

Xavi pre-game quotes:

A fantastic job has been during the transfer market. We are happy.

Xavi, Barça manager

João Félix fits in 100%. He is a natural talent. He scores and he can make the difference. He's a versatile player who can operate anywhere in attack.

Xavi, Barça manager

We will compete [in the UEFA Champions League]. We are focused on topping the group but it won't be easy.

Xavi, Barça manager

Osasuna is an intense rival with the same coach for many years. They are a rugged team and strong at home. They were eliminated from the Europa Conference League, but they have a good squad, and it will be a challenge. It’s a tough away game for us.

Xavi, Barça manager

I always have the maximum enthusiasm. I am a club man and try to adapt to circumstances. Mateu, Deco, Jordi, the president, Rafa… everyone has done a great job. We are excited about how the squad has shaped up.

Xavi, Barça manager

Barça arrive at the stadium!

Who is Mamadou Fall? Barcelona close in on deal for LAFC defender

The LAFC defender signed for FC Barcelonaand will initially form part of their B team.

The highly-rated defender spent last season on loan at Villarreal in eastern Spain and as such, is not a complete novice when it comes to paella and patatas bravas.

On a more serious note, his spell in the league last year does mean that he comes to Barcelona with a sense of how things work in the country, and that should help him a lot when it comes to getting to know his new teammates and working his way up the ranks to hopefully play with the first team.

His breakthrough campaign came in 2021 when he made 36 appearances for the MLS side; he played 25 times in LaLiga 2 for Villarreal’s second team and just once for the senior side.

It can sometimes go very wrong, even for those stars with bags of ability, so how did it play out for Xavi's new recruits?

While we wait on Xavi and Jagoba to drop the teamnews, why don't you have a look atthe silky skills that the Joãos were pulling off in their joint presentation yesterday.

Barça release new threads for the game

Barcelona’s new light blue - sorry, ‘light aqua’ blue away kit, according to the club, “evokes inspiration and creativity, highlights what Barça represent, the history, the playing style, and the young La Masia-formed talents who are a source of inspiration for all.”

If they say so, who am I to argue? I think it looks lovely. Very David Villa in 2010-11.

Who's the ref?

Miguel Ángel Otriz Arias is the four-named man with the whistle round his neck for today’s clash.

The 38-year-old has overseen two games so far this season: Villarreal 1-2 Betis and Real Sociedad 1-1 Celta Vigo, and has shown 7 yellow cards and 0 red cards this season as things stand.

Señor Guillermo Cuandra Fernández is the VAR referee. Let’s hope he has a quiet one and we don’t have to hear too much from him today. Quiet VAR is good VAR.

as.com

Where are Osasuna in the league?

As for Osasuna, they’re slightly below in 9th, as they have won 2 and lost one game so far this season.

A win for the home side would see them move onto 9 points and they would be up and around the European places in the early stage of the campaign.

Kike Barja and Brasanac are the only two official injuries we know about at this moment, but manager Jagoba Arrasate hinted that he may make changes to his side given the fatigue and niggling injuries that have affected the squad over the past week.

What comes as a plus for Osasuna is that their talented spine of superheroes are indeed set to start: David García, Moncayola and Chimy Ávila.

Pau Barrena / AFP

OK, here's the big Barça news...

OK; there’s no point you and I looking at each other crouched on the ground, peering through the gap between two huge, white elephants.

The Joãos, Félix and Cancelo, joined Barcelona late on deadline day while everyone else was wondering what on earth happened to Ansu Fati. 

The wing-back and midfielder join on loan until the end of the season.

"Everyone knows that I am happy to be here, it is a dream for me. I come to help the team and it is a unique feeling. When they told me that Barça were interested I was very happy. In the end, thanks to everyone's effort it has been possible," said Félix, who made it abundantly clear he was happy to be somewhere new.

Barcelona team news:

Well, away from the transfer talk, which we’ll get to in a mo, the main new-but-not-so-new face in the Barça squad is that of Iñigo Martínez.

The ex-Athletic Club defender joined in the summer but is yet to feature due to an injury.

He’s back and ready to go and has been called up to Xavi’s match day squad for the first time.

Pedri and Ronald Araujo are the two main absences.
