The current La Liga season has seen FC Barcelona get off to a dominant start as they have won every game thus far. Barcelona would match their season-best start from the 2014–15 campaign when they won eight straight games if they defeated Osasuna. With a victory over Osasuna, Barcelona would tie the record of seven wins, marking a significant victory for new manager Hansi Flick. Under the German manager, Barcelona seemed to have completely changed.

In their away La Liga match against Osasuna, Barcelona has fallen shockingly, 2-0. With seven straight victories to open the league season, La Blaugrana headed to Pamplona hoping to continue their winning ways. But, Ante Budimir scored a goal in the opening eighteen minutes to put the hosts ahead in a league match, causing them to trail for the first time since the end of August.

The cunning Croatian international nodded home after cleverly evading two Barcelona defenders to demonstrate his aerial prowess. Shortly after, Osasuna's second goal was slotted home by Bryan Zaragoza, shocking Barcelona with a breach in their high offside trap.

Barcelona has won seven games so far in La Liga

In their thrilling away La Liga match against Osasuna, Barcelona has struck back. The rotating league leaders led 2-0 at the half, while La Blaugana was surprised in the opening forty-five minutes. Ante Budimir and Bryan Zaragoza gave the home team a dominating lead, and a changed starting lineup found it difficult to match Osasuna's attacking intensity. Hansi Flick stayed with his starting lineup despite the demand to substitute Lamine Yamal at halftime, and the visitors have answered. Pau Victor took advantage of a mistake made by Osasuna goalkeeper Sergio Herrera to score his first-ever La Liga goal.

The tough timetable forced Hansi Flick to start the remaining crucial players from the beginning of this game; the German coach is anticipated to make adjustments at halftime. To at least secure a draw and continue their unblemished league record in 2024–2025—that should energize Barcelona for the final stages of play.  Before this weekend's trip to Pamplona, Barcelona had won all seven of their league games.
