Osasuna 1-2 Barcelona

Barcelona vs Osasuna match was very impressive. Both teams played very well. But in this match, they made several mistakes. Their first mistake was made by the goalkeepers. Ter Stegen made no attempt to block Osasuna's first goal shot. If he tried, Barcelona would not have gone behind 1-0 in just 6 minutes. Barcelona's second mistake was made by Lewandowski. He saw received the yellow card at the start of the match. Then she should have perfumed carefully. But he played like a fool and got a red card.

However, the performance of Barcelona's youth was outstanding in this match. Their performance impressed me. Both goals by Pedri and Raphinha were excellent. Also, de Jong's performance was very good. I would say that Barcelona won because of the good performance of these three players.

Barcelona's second mistake was made by Lewandowski. He saw received the yellow card at the start of the match. Then she should have perfumed carefully. But he played like a fool and got a red card.

Lewandowski made a big mistake, especially on the second yellow card, but this is the man's first red card in the last ten years. I think he made such a move, forgetting that he was shown a yellow card before, and couldn't foresee the consequences. Because that card was also his first yellow card this season. Despite all this, Barcelona managed to win the match by playing one player short for a long time and coming from behind, I think this is a performance that should be appreciated. The players on the field gave their all.
By the way, it was very interesting that Pique ended his career in this way by getting a red card at halftime. Barcelona fans bid him farewell in the last match, but he was in the squad yesterday. Such a career!
Now Barcelona widened the points gap and secured the lead. Now the players and the management mind will enter the World Cup comfortably.

Since Karim Benzema's injury, Don Carlo has tried to maximize the potential of other players. So far, it is clear that Rodrygo is one example whose potential is visible. Benzema's absence helped bring out the best qualities from several players such as, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Fede Valverde.

The coach and Real Madrid know that they can not rely on Benzema for too long. He is old already and his career is coming to very last seasons. They can not expect that Benzema will carry their attacking for many seasons ahead. Vinicius, Rodrygo and Valverde are growing very good under management of Carlo Ancelotti.

As for Madrid's defeat to Rayo in that match, I think defeat is a natural thing that can happen to any strong team. but as you said, El Real need some newcomers to anticipate when the team situation gets injured players, match bans.

Their attacking system is well but their defense system is not. They must enhance their defense from defensive midfielders to defenders and maybe they should have one or two players from January transfer market. If bad defense continues, they will have more troubles in later of seasons when attacking players have more pressure, exhaustion and maybe injuries that all will impact their attacking performance.

However, the performance of Barcelona's youth was outstanding in this match. Their performance impressed me. Both goals by Pedri and Raphinha were excellent. Also, de Jong's performance was very good. I would say that Barcelona won because of the good performance of these three players.

To be honest, it was de Jong for me, I respect the fact that Pedri scored the first goal that kept the hope alive of still winning the game and maintaining as the head of the league, Raphina for the winner but you must applaud de Jong for his brilliance, composure and calmness in midfied, joining the defense and also the midfielder's. Some players that should be outta Barcelona are Sergio Busquet his playing days for Barcelona are over.

The game official was not it, the first booking snd yellow card on Robert Lewandoski wasn't worth it, but I'm not arguing with the second booking but since he already had been booked before, what could he have done to evade the red card ? Nothing. Good win once again, they remain my favorites to win La Liga.

Incredible that they wanted to sell Frankie in this market, Frankie is a great player, shows commitment in all the games he plays and what an assist for the comeback goal. Barcelona's football level is developing. Without a doubt, it will soon be one of the best globally. They need time to establish themselves as a team, that's why we don't see favorable results, it's still too early for that. With the current level they can be the champions of the league.

However, on the other hand, the absence of Benzema is quite influential on the sharpness of the attack that Madrid has. Los Blancos are under pressure to turn things around after winning just one of their last four matches in all competitions. next, Madrid will play their last match in La Liga before the 2022 world cup break. Cadiz is not a difficult opponent for El Real to beat, especially this match is a match at their headquarters, Santiago Bernabeu. three points, is the result they must get in this match.

Real Madrid faced difficult to find replacement position leaving by Karim Benzema, last match I watched when beating by Rayo Vallecano not affective with Rodrygo playing as central forward. Have different quality level between regular and substitute player actually on forward position seems most trouble faced by Madrid. Speculation about Karim Benzema injury seems he want keep get chance to play on World Cup with national team and several games absent with Real Madrid.

When Benzema absent actually not any aggressive games play from Real Madrid and faced difficult how to build great counter attack, last match before World Cup Real Madrid facing Cadiz and I think three points is most important keep near close position standing after Barcelona won last night, right now have 5 points left.

They need time to establish themselves as a team, that's why we don't see favorable results, it's still too early for that. With the current level they can be the champions of the league.

It is undeniable that Barcelona line of play also lies in how Frankie De Jong is on the field. I was very surprised at Frankie when he was offered to go to Man United but he refused and was willing to cut his salary just to be able to play in the UCL. Well, the result is now he is not lucky and must be sold. Somehow Barcelona took this decision when Frankie began to feel Barcelona was considered his own home. He has a role that is quite ideal in every Barcelona attack.

A player might not suit the plan the coach or manager has for the squad which is why he was asked to take a reduced pays if he wants to stay further with Barcelona. Frankie De Jong never agreed to reduction of his salary besides they haven't concluded the debts they owe him for a season before this one. As for the night game yesterday he was brilliant at all cost the entire team displayed togetherness bit at the end they all prevailed. Can they just win the league

[X-ray]

This game really made people to believed that Barcelona coach is doing a great job in this season, because many people already concluded that Barcelona will loose the game to Ossasuna based on the red card some of their players received from the game but Barcelona players do everything possible within their power in the second half to beat Ossasuna 2:1 for the favour of Barcelona. Now that people believed that Barcelona can perform well without Lewandowski, despite the red card Lewandowski got from the game their strikers still prove to people that they are capable of winning the game.

Of course but that's only for la liga. It has been going out from champion league as the squads of barcelona is not good enough to compete with the big club like bayern and inter. As long as players can play very good and there will always be a chance to win even with 10 players in the field. It's too early to judge it while you know the fact that if lewandowski is the top scorer in la liga. that means his contribution to the barcelona was a lot compared with another players.
That being said that if lewandowski is always become the main striker to make goals in any match. Lewandoski has been saving barcelona from the loses a few times.

I think the most interesting and unpredictable game tonight will be the Mallorca vs Atletico Madrid match... The hosts have been playing well in recent games, which cannot be said for the visitors from Madrid... Although Mallorca failed to win their last three home games and could only score against Espanyol... Considering Atletico's last loss to Porto, I would guess that Atletico could try hard to pick up three points today...

A player becomes less important when the club wants him to leave and he insisted on staying. The club had already made arrangements for Frankie De Jong's replacement but he wanted to stay. He is a good player but Barcelona wanted to reduce their spending to be stable financiallyy thats why they wanted him to leave.

Coach Xavi has proved again that he is improving technically. He was able to turn the game around regardless of being one goal down and playing with ten players. This victory means that the team would be at the top of the league until after the world cup. Xavi now has all the time to plan ahead of game resumption after the world cup.

Although Mallorca failed to win their last three home games and could only score against Espanyol... Considering Atletico's last loss to Porto, I would guess that Atletico could try hard to pick up three points today...

Last season Mallorca could really beat Atletico in the two matches played, Mallorca could beat Atletico last season with the score 2-1 and 1-0. At this moment Atletico seem to be in a bad shape, and it looks like Mallorca will be able to take advantage of the situation to beat Atletico.
Because in the previous match Mallorca also played away against Villarreal but Mallorca can win 2-0, and at this moment Mallorca will play at home and it looks like this will be the right moment for Mallorca to get full points again.

Because even at this moment Atletico get odds @2.xx and Mallorca gets odds @3.xx, which means there is a big chance for the home team to win.
Also, if I consider the results of their head to head last season and also the situation at this moment, then I'm pretty sure that Mallorca will probably win or maybe even draw.
But clearly, it looks like Mallorca will not lose in this match.

Benzema absence in the squad makes Real Madrid goal productivity weaker, the draw against Girona and the defeat to Rayo Vallecano proves that something is missing in the Real Madrid squad. I can't say that Real Madrid are starting to depend on Benzema, but when Benzema is not available it will make Madrid's attack a little weaker.

As for Madrid's defeat to Rayo in that match, I think defeat is a natural thing that can happen to any strong team. but as you said, El Real need some newcomers to anticipate when the team situation gets injured players, match bans.

In a football match, every result obtained is still in a reasonable context, but if a strong team can be defeated by a weak team it cannot be said to be reasonable. There is something going on in the Real Madrid squad that they can be beaten by a team of weaker quality. Ancelotti must not allow Real Madrid's condition to continue like this, losing 5 points in two matches makes Real Madrid have to be eliminated from the top of the standings.

However, on the other hand, the absence of Benzema is quite influential on the sharpness of the attack that Madrid has. Los Blancos are under pressure to turn things around after winning just one of their last four matches in all competitions. next, Madrid will play their last match in La Liga before the 2022 world cup break. Cadiz is not a difficult opponent for El Real to beat, especially this match is a match at their headquarters, Santiago Bernabeu. three points, is the result they must get in this match.

Real Madrid strikers seemed to be confused about scoring goals, when they were defeated by Rayo Vallecano none of the Real Madrid strikers scored. Looks like Real Madrid have to look for a typical striker like Haaland who can always score goals in almost every game. Real Madrid must pay attention to Benzema's old age, he can't play in his best form in the next two years, Madrid must immediately find a replacement for Benzema to maintain sharpness in attack and can be a hero of victory with the goals he scored.

After another win, Barcelona gained another point, bringing their total to 37 points. They were now five points ahead of Real Madrid. Lewandowski and G. Pique, who received a red card before the start of the game, were unsure whether Barcelona would be able to perform well with two men sent out of the pitch. However, thanks to goals from Pedri and Raphinha, Barcelona was able to perform admirably even with two men off the field. it was actually a rough game played.

[Velvet78]

Barcelona had a really tough game honestly. I'm still surprised with the way they got the win by a comeback anyway while they were playing with 10 players. I know that the player getting the red card was Lewandowski instead of a defender or midfielder. But it was still a hindrance for them in the attacking line for sure.

Raphinha really saved his team with an impressive header. When Osasuna got ahead I started to think like whether Barcelona would experience a point loss just as Real Madrid. But Xavi is still doing a great job in the La Liga in general. For now the gap with Real Madrid is 5 points but I assume Real Madrid would finally get the win against Cadiz.

Real Madrid's defeat put Barcelona one step ahead of them. Yes now they are 5 points away from Real Madrid, with Real Madrid one game ahead. Yet this is what they expect that they are ahead of Real Madrid. Real Madrid declined slightly so that Barcelona easily snatched their position. 2 games without a win against a weak team is a very unfortunate drop from Real Madrid.

I really enjoyed watching the Barcelona game again. Barcelona would have lost tomorrow if Rafinha had not scored a great header. Barcelona were desperate to score in the whole match. The opposition Osasuna showed great skill. A defeat for Barcelona would have reduced their points. In the end, Barcelona celebrated the victory in style.

Barcelona started the game very badly, they were unable to avoid the attack built by Osasuna, lucky in the second half Barcelona found the game scheme again, despite having to lose two players due to getting a red card.
Pedri was the key behind Barcelona's victory, he managed to control the game and be the most aggressive player on the field, while Sergio Busquets and Ferran Torres were very disappointing, despite playing nine people Barcelona were able to secure full points, Raphinha's acceleration through Assit Frenkie De Jong really brought a dramatic victory for Barcelona.

[reagansimms]

Barcelona's second mistake was made by Lewandowski. He saw received the yellow card at the start of the match. Then she should have perfumed carefully. But he played like a fool and got a red card.

Lewandowski made a big mistake, especially on the second yellow card, but this is the man's first red card in the last ten years. I think he made such a move, forgetting that he was shown a yellow card before, and couldn't foresee the consequences. Because that card was also his first yellow card this season. Despite all this, Barcelona managed to win the match by playing one player short for a long time and coming from behind, I think this is a performance that should be appreciated. The players on the field gave their all.

Regardless of any drama that occurred on the pitch during the match, Barcelona suffered a huge loss due to Lewandowski red card. Barcelona which is struggling to maintain its position in the first place, must lose one of its best strikers in the next match.
In week 15 Barcelona will face Espanyol, head to head both teams put Barcelona as the winner especially this match will be played at Camp Nou. Barcelona should not underestimate the strength of Espanyol who sits in 16th place because they have just forced Atletico Madrid to a draw.

[nara1892]

Barcelona won the first half against Osasuna with 2 goals in the second half after finishing 1-0 down. Lewandowski received a red card in the 31st minute, leaving his team 10 men. Despite that, Barcelona came from behind to win.
Elche hosted Girona. After leading 1-0, they couldn't keep the score and lost the match by conceding 2 goals. In this way, they are the only team without a win in 14 weeks.

The interesting thing is that in this match Pique also got a red card There are some who say that he strongly protested the referee's decision about the red card from Lewandowski and when Marcos Alonso's foul which was a goal from David Garcia made him emotional and finally got a red card.
But indeed Barcelona played quite well in this match even though they lost Lewandowski which was actually a disadvantage.
With this result they again secured 3 points which Madrid must immediately pursue so that the margin of points does not increase.
