Barca continued to show their dominance in La Lagia with a comfortable 3-0 win over Osasuna at Montjuic, extending their lead on the top of the table. Even without hold of key South American internationals players and beginning with Lewandowski at the bench, they seized the match beforehand, with Ferran Torres breaking the deadlock within the 11th minute. Dani Olmo then made it two with another penalty, converted after a retake was awarded by VAR. A second-half winner from Lewandowski, who nodded home from point blank range, confirmed the win in what was a commanding performance from Xavi’s men. Osasuna barely threatened, ending the final with not a single shot on target.
Barca’s Total Control And Osasuna’s Lackluster Response
From the start of the match, Barca dominated the game, controlling the rhythm and making dangerous runs at Osasuna’s back line. Ferran Torres’ 2nd minute strike opened the scoring and a Dani Olmo penalty made it 2-0 before Barca reached the break. They were sitting well on top. They illustrated how powerful their attack was, and Osasuna’s showed how little danger they brought. Even after replacing half of the line-up, Barca were still in firm control, and Lewandowski’s goal in the second half would be the icing on the cake to an all-around exceptional performance. Osasuna were very dull and could not get through Barca’s stacked back line.

Barca’s Expected Victory Showcases Depth And Tactical Superiority
Barca’s win was largely expected, given their recent form and the home advantage at Montjuic. However, the ease with which they dominated Osasuna, a team that had previously beaten them 4-2 this season, may have surprised some. Barca’s ability to maintain their dominance despite missing key players was a declaration of their depth and tactical superiority. Meanwhile, Osasuna’s inability to create chances and their defensive lapses meant they never truly looked like challenging Barcelona. With this win, they extended their winning streak, while Osasuna must regroup ahead of their next tough fixture against Athletic Club.
