Barcelona were without Raphinha, who has been an undeniable standout this season, due to his exertions with Brazil, while Robert Lewandowski began the game on the bench after he picked up a knock playing for Poland, but they were comfortable winners all the same, moving three points clear of Real Madrid.

Without Lewandowski, Ferran Torres led the line, and scored within 10 minutes, finishing a pinpoint cross from Alejandro Balde.

Just seven minutes later, Olmo was sent through one-on-one by Pedri and was fouled by Sergio Herrera. A penalty was awarded, but Olmo saw his spot-kick saved. VAR soon intervened though, ruling that an Osasuna player encroached into the box; Olmo scored his retaken kick.
Shortly after, though, he required substituting, as he limped off the pitch after seemingly sustaining a muscle injury.

In a half they dominated, Barca almost had a third before half-time but Torres’ superb free-kick could only rattle the bar.

Lewandowski did come off the bench in the second half, and he scored on 75 minutes, directing a powerful header into the back of the net after a superb delivery from Fermin Lopez.

One very clever dummy saw him leave the pressing striker in the dust. Barely tested when it came to actual saves.

Dominant. Won basically every duel, particularly in the air. Such a strong defender and never looked in

Fine ball in for Torres to finish. A superbly dynamic footballer, constantly looking to drive forward, and can cause so many problems. This was a truly excellent performance.
Superb ball into Olmo allowed him to win his penalty.

As metronomic as ever. He so rarely gives the ball away.
Frenkie de Jong (7/10):

Subbed at half-time after a fine first half in which he took immense care of the ball, and kept the hosts ticking.

Lamine Yamal (8/10):

Some glorious touches and one slaloming run in the first half saw him skin two players and only narrowly miss the bottom corner. More than one key pass, and the kind of attacking flair that saw Osasuna regularly double up on him.

Ferran Torres (7/10):

Showed a striker’s instinct to meet Balde’s cross and open the scoring. Led the line well before his substitution.

Got away with his poor penalty, as he scored the retake. Was flourishing in the pocket between left wing and the 10, but had to be subbed after sustaining an injury.
