00:00And that's why he's being left out of this game, I'd imagine
00:11Barcelona's average age this season has been 23 and a half
00:15It's even younger than that when you look around the starting 11 tonight. Okay, they have taken the 17 year old
00:21Luminium out out of the team
00:24But the whole of the outfield and indeed the goalkeeper as well apart from Robert Lewandowski at 25 years of age or younger
00:35Even if Barcelona lose tonight
00:37They will still be ahead of Real Madrid and Atletico of course are involved in the Madrid derby in 24 hours time
00:49Can Otter sooner stop this
00:54Sensational start to the season from Barcelona a start that nobody expected it
00:59maximum points and
01:01They're entertaining as well 23 goals this season
01:04Which is actually six more than any other side in the top European competitions
01:11Defensively they may not have been that sound they've only had those two shutouts
01:15But Barcelona are kind of finding their soul and they go back to their DNA steward army attacking
01:20Enterprising Cavalier football, well, they're trying to dominate games with possession, but also with penetration. It's been the key change
01:29from Hansi flick
01:32What's he side to play forward forward runs?
01:35Be a bit more difficult today, but Fanon Torres is a good runner off the ball coming in from the wide right area
01:43There's Robert Lewandowski may not be a 90-minute man anymore, but he's been doing the damage this season and
01:49See flick his former coach of by Munich has found a system that suits Robert Lewandowski three goals in his last two matches
02:03Looking for our so is an attacking fullback
02:13This boy
02:15Actually started at the season at vital he played a couple of games for them before Marino brought it for around nine million euros
02:23to sign for Osasuna
02:31It goes to
02:32Pena who's gonna have an opportunity to establish himself as the club's number one according to Hansi flick
02:38He said he's the starter for the season
02:41the position is is despite
02:44Suggestions and
02:46We'll check Chesney the Poland international
02:50Will be joining the club with that horrific injury to mark Andre ter Stegen his out until next
02:56season at least
02:58Kunde great ball for Pablo Torres establish himself in the side in recent weeks
03:06Dan Torres looking for Lewandowski
03:10Very Garcia doesn't get there
03:14If you look at the staff of Barcelona and
03:18They're ideally 11 based on everybody who's on their roster
03:22It's half a dozen players. We're probably in the beat at the moment, but they're still without two stegan, of course, Danny Olmo
03:30And now that uh-oh the young Christensen
03:35Remarkable Hansi flick is achieved
03:38with a limited bunch of players
03:41There's pal Victor who's playing out on that left-hand side
03:45It's not a particularly good cross
03:46But he's gonna try and threaten make runs from outside to it and then Torres doing likewise on the right-hand side
03:53Certainly a midfield three with Eric Garcia being the holding player
03:58Well power Victor took the eye on the tour of the United States in the summer
04:03He was loaned it to Barcelona's beat him
04:07So he scored 20 goals for bar to be last year, so they signed him from Girona I
04:13Think his ideal position is down the center
04:15But for bars to be last year played right wing left wing and center forward hence his 20 goals
04:21He's happy to start his first game tonight for the bar to senior side
04:36I
04:40See
04:44She's a Buddha mirrors on it very quickly
04:49Hey, man
04:52Could be intercepts
04:57There's by every minute at every game
04:59He feels his superhuman he has had a chat with him you revealed about
05:03Taking that of the firing line, but he said that Cunda responded by saying they would be affronted if he wasn't selected
05:09That's why he's out there today. He's not wanted to others being given a break from the stars
05:17I'm not really gonna press the ball. What's the sooner?
05:21Time on the ball the two center-backs Barcelona
05:24On the ball the two center-backs Barcelona
05:29Basi come out with it once as Dominguez
05:38Time support booty me to go and press the ball, but dropping on to Eric Garcia
05:46There is good policy
05:48Incredible this only 17 years of age already a Spain international
05:54Just missed the cut for the euros
05:56It's gonna be there for a decade and a bit to come
06:00his Petri
06:03Turns into trouble
06:06Connie
06:11See you to how Victor
06:14You
06:19These are the sort of moments where they might they certainly will miss your mall and Rafinha
06:25With these runs in beyond Lewandowski the switcher play out to your mall. You can then go past people
06:31They're sitting very deep at the moment everybody back behind the ball
06:37Total dominance has to be expected from Barcelona
06:39And
06:43Torres to Koundé
06:47Names and faces may have changed but master is sticking to that new style from Hansi flick
07:01Torres
07:03Torre
07:06Like a tenner
07:09You
07:17In the acupuncture he made his first start of the season against the taffy remember he came on against Villarreal knees
07:24percent hit rate game played
07:28Clean sheet recorded
07:35Slight wacky
07:38And it's
07:42Marty
07:43What a start for that man their hands he flick
07:47He's been fairly brave to make the changes made today
07:53Work out for him
08:08You
08:18On throw looking for
08:21Tenured join the attack. They also have Torre
08:24Is a tall central midfield players actually one the ball in the air more than any other player in La Liga this season
08:31Barcelona's offside trap has been slicked in that needed
08:34Emergency action to be taken digging back in his pal Victor excellent sliding challenge
08:41That was a dangerous bit of play squeezing high up
08:44Lovely ball played in behind
08:47There's the forward run from the fullback you were talking about that so just couldn't get his cross in very good defending by Victor
09:05This is where they might be slightly vulnerable Barcelona, it's not a big back four they've got in at the moment
09:12See the best header of the ball you can see from that
09:16illustration
09:17Now a tall team off to say that this is where they have a height advantage just enough of a touch
09:26Very Garcia ensuring that he's getting his arms out of the way
09:30And his torso between the ball and the goal
09:34It was Levon Dostoevsky that won the first ball into the box
09:37It's good defending from Eric Garcia
09:42See Levon Dostoevsky on the six-sharp box attack anything that comes into that near post area
09:50Then here's the player that's going to take it
09:52I almost stationed himself just in front of Pena. It's a poor corner kick
10:22He wanted a foul there, but he's not going to get what I don't think
10:38They rotate the team at the man who plays more than anybody else it seems is that the veteran Levon Dostoevsky
10:47Really a place at the top of the scoring charts
10:50Seven goals this season nine in his last nine in La Liga
11:00The best throw from Cruz for booty me
11:05Can be a good goal scorer good in the air. There's nothing yet
11:09We'll start to the season. He's had
11:12Wrapped up tonight
11:15What's wrapped up in Cornwall they've got a big game this week
11:18In the the Champions League as Craig Burley was saying
11:22Not the most daunting in Tuesday night home against young boys, but of course they lost on the opening night against Monaco
11:28So it's important that they start to pick up points in
11:32This new look Champions League
11:35You
11:41For two three one
11:44Indicated by those graphics there. It's the way that Osasuna going about this guy
11:50Anyone up front trying to press the ball, so he's going to drop deep as well
12:05It's a similar supporters enter the stadium with hope in their hearts, but they haven't beaten Barcelona
12:12Pamplona soil since 2012
12:17The way Barcelona have won the last five
12:20How long is this row gonna be the target is gonna be Lucas Torre the big number six is
12:26Stacey myself just in front of that in Garcia
12:30Is Torre
12:34Tall awkward spider legs player
12:38Martin hoist the ball away. He's proven to be a good alternative a deputy to Alex Balde this season
12:51Excellent play by power Victor brilliant ball through as well and the goalkeeper had to be decisive
12:54Punches the air with delight but that's the movement that he loves to make Fernan Torres
12:57I think is a very clever player off the way. It's a great time at Barcelona
13:02When you see him live and make some very good runs from outside the box
13:06I think it's a very good way to get his players to know what he's doing
13:10You
13:15He's very agile
13:17He's a very clever player off the ball. He hasn't had a great time at Barcelona.
13:21But when you see him live, he makes some very good runs from outside to in.
13:30Here's Koundé.
13:47Pablo Torre starting his third game in a row for Barcelona.
13:56He's one that was loaned out to Girona last season.
14:00He'll have enjoyed that sliding challenge.
14:02Juan Cruz.
14:05It's a surprise election tonight. It's only his second start of the season.
14:09Koundé making yardage down his right-hand side.
14:19It was taken quickly, but he caught out his own teammate there, Pedri.
14:33Another great throw from Koundé.
14:35I think Fernando Torres wanted it on the other side of him, away from the defender.
14:43This was good play from Pedri, wriggling away from that challenge.
14:50That's the ball he tried to play through.
14:52Herrera got there first.
14:55He was quite pleased with himself, I think.
15:00He's quite a character, the goalkeeper.
15:01He had a reputation for saving penalties a couple of seasons back.
15:06Saved two from Karim Benzema and from Ivan Rakitic.
15:10These things can be offside.
15:12Can they make the most of it?
15:14Flashed across the face of the goal.
15:17Resso was onto it very quickly.
15:22It's played back by a Barcelona player.
15:26He's trying to go across goal. Could he have crossed it? Probably not.
15:30It's a fairly good effort. That's the place to beat the goalkeeper.
15:33It's only a fraction wide, isn't it?
15:36A couple of warning signs for Barcelona.
15:46Barcelona have been generous.
15:48They have offered the opposition a lot of chances this season.
15:51Only by the lead, and Hatapia failed to score against them.
15:55I wonder whether Cruz was just blocking the run of Fernand Torres.
15:59Fernand Torres played it square and then wanted to get in behind him.
16:06Kubasi.
16:08It's strange, isn't it?
16:10Kubasi seems to be the senior of the two central defenders.
16:13He's 17 and he's part of the Sergio Dominguez
16:16who's been drafted and he's 19 years of age.
16:24He's had a go at it.
16:26He's had a go at winning the free kick.
16:28He hasn't seen much in the game so far.
16:31Two wide players have swapped wins already a couple of times.
16:34Osasuna.
16:36Here is Brian Telegotha who's on loan from Bayern Munich.
16:40He's made the headlines when he scored a couple of goals against Barcelona.
16:44An excellent spell he had with Granada.
16:49Put it over to Bayern for about 15 million euros.
16:54He had issues with the language there.
16:57And they've loaned him back to Osasuna.
17:00They're delighted to have his services for the season.
17:04Cruz launches it.
17:06Pedri teases the way.
17:08It falls kindly to Lewandowski.
17:11Now Palovic to him.
17:12Well done.
17:23Quite a bit of possession so far in this first 16 minutes.
17:26Barcelona, you're just wondering where the penetration will come.
17:32He's challenged it.
17:34Ballon.
17:36Lewandowski, that could be the last time that occurs tonight.
17:40Good turn, Lewandowski.
17:42Ball was rolled into him.
17:44He doesn't have to worry about his first touch.
17:46He can let it roll off the outside of his boot.
17:48He got too tight.
18:03Missed by Heymann.
18:06Brian Telegotha.
18:09Toe-to-toe with Koundé.
18:11And allowed to get his cross in as well.
18:13And Barcelona's soft centre
18:17allows Boudimir to get Osasuna the lead.
18:22Superb from Telegotha.
18:25And Boudimir doing what Boudimir does best.
18:28Big, powerful finisher.
18:33Well, it's a really good goal from Osasuna's point of view.
18:40And Zaragoza does really well here.
18:44He's onside when the ball's played to him.
18:48Now, Koundé needs to get tighter.
18:51It's too easy for Zaragoza to get it onto his right foot.
18:55Plays a good ball in and that's where you think they might have a problem.
18:58And that's been the case here.
19:00Two centre-halves that aren't particularly big
19:02against a centre-forward who loves to head the ball.
19:05And Boudimir makes the right run,
19:07gets in front of his marker
19:09and it's a good header.
19:11Kovacic couldn't get there.
19:13Nor could the goalkeeper, Peña.
19:16What a moment for him and his team.
19:22Boudimir's second goal of the season
19:24which makes him the leading scorer in the team.
19:28And he brushed off his man-marker.
19:30It all came down to his strength and his physicality.
19:39Looking at the two centre-halves.
19:41Kovacic's done brilliantly.
19:43Let's make no doubts about that.
19:46But at 17 he's not going to be physically at his best at the moment.
19:50He's strong.
19:52Not the biggest centre-half.
19:54And Boudimir is a very experienced centre-forward
19:58who loves to get on the end of crosses
20:00and that's exactly what he did there.
20:04A nicely experienced one of those strikers
20:06who's got better with age as well.
20:08And Ted Boudimir.
20:1033 now.
20:12Last season he scored 18 goals in all competitions.
20:14Best ever return.
20:16He's played his trade in Germany, Italy,
20:19Spain, Mallorca, Croatia as well.
20:28And that certainly has given us a sooner encouragement.
20:31We've seen a lot of balls just played in behind Barcelona
20:34as they try and defend that.
20:38It's not much of a run uphill.
20:41Landgruth.
20:43Chamberlain throw to the near post.
20:48Barca needing every back to help with defence.
20:52It's an important little period of the game.
20:54This adrenaline flowing for Osasuna.
21:05It's been a real live wire down that right-hand side.
21:07Here's the goal again.
21:09Boudimir just on the edge of the box here.
21:11He's waiting.
21:13Then he makes his run, gets across the defender
21:15who should step across him.
21:17Doesn't pick him out.
21:19He just plays it into a good area.
21:21And it couldn't be any better for Boudimir
21:23making his run in between the two centre-backs.
21:26And he gets enough on it to beat the goalkeeper.
21:32Kind of an extension of a training ground exercise, wasn't it?
21:35They must put dozens of those in every day.
21:38So he can do all that he's tried.
21:40And take Boudimir.
21:44Needless to be said, it was the perfect cross as well.
22:01Good day.
22:05Cameron did focus on the two teenage central defenders.
22:08But as you rightly said, Stuart,
22:10the initial issue was Koundé not closing down Felagoff.
22:17I heard Craig Burley talk about how he gave Koundé
22:20a really tough time.
22:23A little while ago.
22:26And that's why Koundé maybe didn't get too tight to him there.
22:35Loops it in the air and again.
22:3750-50 is a run.
22:39One bunny.
22:41Not as soon as the players.
22:43Harry Garcia must have acted as an extra central defender.
22:46Which, of course, was his original position
22:48when he broke into the Barça team.
22:52These days at Manchester City.
22:56He's had to adopt to the anchoring role
22:58in the centre of midfield.
23:05I think it's fairly clear to see.
23:07Osasuna aren't going to try and keep the ball that much.
23:10They're just going to keep playing balls
23:12in behind Barcelona.
23:14Get it wide at times and get crosses into the box.
23:20Offside, I think, to start with by Boudimir
23:23who came back from that offside position
23:25to make a challenge.
23:27Torres.
23:29What a control from the Spain international.
23:35Aymar Olof who's running the midfield at the moment.
23:40Now they double up and then Torres
23:42is assisting Koundé on this near side.
23:46Good play.
23:48Boudimir linking the play up.
23:50Aymar doing really well to play the ball
23:52around the corner.
24:05I think Peña was quite expecting that.
24:08The sensible thing is to put his boot
24:11through the ball.
24:14Second season in a row, of course,
24:16that Iñaki Peña has had a run in the team.
24:18He's done his 17 games
24:20last season between November and February.
24:23Another player coming back from an offside position.
24:29That goal has certainly got the crowd going here.
24:53They do have a lot of strength
24:55on the bench tonight.
24:57Laminha, Mel, Rafinha, Balde, Cassano,
25:00Inigo, Martínez.
25:02The players have been asked to step aside
25:04as Hansi Flick has hit the refresh button.
25:09We've heard a lot from top-class players
25:11in recent weeks
25:13about the marathon season.
25:15They have been asked to play.
25:18Many experts on that list will say
25:20the answer to that is to rotate.
25:22Rotate the team.
25:24That's been done to excess
25:26by Hansi Flick tonight.
25:31Lewandowski
25:33plays a neat one-two.
25:35Lewandowski flips it over the top
25:37seeking out
25:39Paul Victor who'd come in from the wing.
25:41He was trying to flick it on
25:43Fernand Torres,
25:45but Fernand Torres hadn't made the run in behind him.
25:50Both wide players making those forward runs
25:52for Lewandowski.
25:56A German coach
25:58who hasn't yet mastered
26:00the Spanish language
26:02gives his interviews
26:04in perfect English
26:06which is great for the English-speaking audience.
26:08The issue tonight
26:10is that nine of his players
26:12are Spanish or maybe Catalan players.
26:17He needs to get his orders over.
26:19He needs to motivate these players
26:20to find some shape
26:22and get them realigned.
26:24Peña comes to the rescue again.
26:26There's another one of those balls
26:28just hooked in behind Barcelona.
26:30Lewandowski.
26:39The future of the game
26:41has been Peña coming off his line.
26:43He's left his goal
26:45unguarded there.
26:47Budame got in the way of the shot.
26:48He would have had the strength to reach the goal
26:50but once he hit Budame
26:52he was in an offside position.
26:54There's Ruben Garcia
26:56who's playing out on that right-hand side
26:58who had the effort.
27:02He's linked up quite well down that far side
27:04with Oresso, the right-back.
27:19Big night for those two young centre-halves.
27:23Mbappé and
27:25Dominguez.
27:27Martín.
27:29Likewise, the left-back.
27:32There you go, Martín.
27:34Let's face it, he's generally
27:36the back-up central defender's player.
27:38He's not the centre-back.
27:40He's not the centre-back.
27:42He's not the centre-back.
27:44He's not the centre-back.
27:46He's not the centre-back.
27:48He's been asked to play every minute of every game
27:50so far this season.
27:52At the age of 33.
27:56Nancy Flick was explaining in the interview
27:58before the game
28:00the reasons for arresting Martínez.
28:13Again, the offside trap is sprung.
28:15Tabekoffer has the speed.
28:16And oh my goodness, he has the finish.
28:21Confidence is flowing
28:23through the veins of Osasuna.
28:28And Barcelona's perfect start
28:30to the season
28:32is coming undone spectacularly.
28:36Once again, credit to Osasuna,
28:38credit to that man there.
28:40Good run, great composure.
28:42Takes it round the goalkeeper.
28:44Easy finish, but
28:46when you've got time on the ball
28:48you cannot
28:50try and play a high offside line.
28:53And Domínguez, instead of recovering,
28:55allows the ball to be played inside of him.
28:57Koundé can't get there.
28:59Lovely bit of skill there
29:01and a good finish.
29:03Domínguez has to realise that ball
29:05is going to be played behind him.
29:07And they're in big trouble here, Barcelona.
29:09Great bit of skill.
29:11Rolling it on the side of his foot.
29:13Past the goalkeeper.
29:15And what he's celebrated.
29:17Vicente Moreno.
29:21At the moment, it does look like
29:23men against the boys of Barcelona.
29:39Pedri is clearly upset about something
29:41in deep dialogue with
29:43the referee.
29:45Fernando Fernández.
29:47I think they felt
29:49as though there might have been a foul somewhere
29:51in the recovery of the ball for
29:53Osasuna, but
29:55I'm not sure there was.
30:00Hansi Flick, I think, will want half-time
30:02to come fairly soon
30:04so he can rethink
30:06the shape of the team.
30:08Maybe the personnel of the team as well
30:10as they haven't been a threat so far.
30:13They've looked vulnerable to anything
30:15played in behind them.
30:19How to feel for young Sergio Domínguez.
30:21He's only made his
30:23first start a week ago.
30:25Been thrown into the deep end tonight
30:27alongside Kubasi,
30:29his 17-year-old partner.
30:33They have looked
30:35very raw.
30:39Budimir lurking in an offside position.
30:42As if he's considering
30:44maybe dropping Eric Garcia back there
30:46or having to throw
30:48against his earlier judgment,
30:50Inigo Martínez.
30:53They've been ripped apart here,
30:55Barcelona.
30:57Aimar Arata looking for the third goal
30:59and it was so very close.
31:02Hansi Flick needs to do something
31:04and do something very quickly
31:06to change the course of this game.
31:09It wasn't by far there.
31:11You see it's Eric Garcia that runs back.
31:13He runs past, he sends it back
31:15to try and get in there.
31:18Every so often
31:20Hansi Flick had that problem
31:22when he was the manager of Bayern
31:24and the manager of Germany
31:26where teams exposed his high line.
31:28Didn't happen very often
31:30but it's happening here.
31:36At some point he had to rest
31:38Laminia Malt
31:40the 17-year-old
31:42and take Rafinha out of the firing line.
31:44But in the same game?
31:46That's my question.
31:48Exactly.
31:50He finished the sentence for me as always.
31:52I do apologize.
31:57Rafinha is maybe understandable.
31:59He didn't participate
32:01in training yesterday.
32:03He did a gym session
32:05so there were hints
32:06that Laminia Malt has been
32:08an ever-present.
32:18When people talk about rotation
32:20I always think rotation is
32:22maybe leaving a couple of players out
32:24and then changing the next couple
32:26that go out for the next game.
32:28He has made some big changes here
32:30quite a lot of them.
32:32Very young, inexperienced
32:34not without too much
32:36fatigue from the wide areas
32:38at the moment.
33:07Dostoyevsky waiting
33:09patiently in the center
33:11something to work with.
33:14Every time they attack
33:16they look like
33:18they can have the cross as soon as...
33:21Budimir.
33:25Ivan F. loses out.
33:28Ali Garcia.
33:33Hyundai.
33:36Barcelona.
33:46Barcelona really struggling
33:48to find their rhythm.
33:50They have been blitzing teams
33:52in recent weeks.
33:54Seven against Fiverr, four against Girona
33:56five against Villarreal.
33:58Flag stays down for now.
34:00This is a chance for a third.
34:02Budimir is stopped on his tracks
34:04and now the flag goes up.
34:06Keep the ball rolling.
34:08The flag could have gone up
34:10a long time before that.
34:12It was just over the halfway line
34:14when the first ball was played.
34:16Unfortunately the assistant referee
34:18couldn't get in line with the
34:20most attacking Osasuna player.
34:31Aresso is linking
34:33and Gerard Martini
34:34is struggling.
34:36Aresso behind the defender
34:38and gets in.
34:40It was a cross that became a shot.
34:43That happened very early on in the game
34:45that combination down the right-hand side.
34:48The cross wasn't a good one
34:50on that occasion.
34:53But he's certainly done his homework
34:55the coach of Osasuna, Moreno.
34:59It's a simple game plan but
35:02for the moment
35:04they don't have to commit
35:06too many players forward
35:08so they keep their shape at the back.
35:18Dominguez.
35:27Sancho Dominguez,
35:29a regular of the B team last year,
35:31is a little quicker,
35:32a little more demanding.
35:35Mistakes are being punished.
35:48As I said, he's a player that
35:50has great movement off the ball.
35:52He needs to be playing in a team
35:54that are dominant.
35:56Get a chance to play the ball forward,
35:58seize runs.
36:00That's not the case at the moment.
36:02So he can't really affect
36:04the game at all.
36:15Gian Martini
36:17to Kubasi.
36:24Dominguez and a lay-up from Torres.
36:26Osasuna playing
36:28in their familiar triangles.
36:30They started the game well.
36:32What a shot of a goal from
36:34Boudamien after 18 minutes.
36:36Salah gone for walking it in
36:38for the second, 10 minutes later.
36:42Now Victor to Padry.
36:54The difference between
36:56the Hansi Flickier and the Javi one
36:58so far has been the penetration,
37:00the forward runs.
37:03Everything's in front of Osasuna.
37:20I see that lack of penetration.
37:22No shots at all so far
37:24for Barcelona.
37:32One of the team
37:34with the best possession stats this season.
37:36They've had about 10 minutes in this game
37:38where they've not been able to
37:40string passes together.
37:42They've brushed themselves down again.
37:44This is Paul Victor.
37:46You can hear it's having an effect
37:48on the supporters.
37:50Being frustrated by Barcelona's
37:52dominance again.
37:54Kame turn that dominance into a goal.
37:56Koundé.
37:58Excellent from Koundé.
38:00Should be up to Barcelona.
38:02Free kick.
38:04Truth and dreams.
38:06Possession of the ball.
38:08He's hugging it like a newborn baby.
38:11There was the first,
38:13or one of the first runs
38:15we've seen in behind
38:17and it came from the right back, Koundé.
38:21Probably checking with the
38:23referee's assistant.
38:25Guadalupe Ayuda.
38:26This near side of the field
38:28that is a free kick
38:30and not a throw.
38:32I think he's given a throw in the referee.
38:41Koundé.
38:43Koundé.
38:48That's it.
38:50Hits him into no man's land.
38:57Gerard Martin.
38:59Steps in the way.
39:01Rare chance for the left fullback
39:03to venture forwards.
39:05Seeks out Fernand Torres
39:07but a missed control
39:09at a crucial time.
39:11There's Eric Garcia
39:13taken down in full flight.
39:15Just clicked by Pablo Ganez.
39:17Needs a better touch
39:19from Fernand Torres.
39:21Good play by Gerard Martin
39:23down that left hand side.
39:24And Eric Garcia
39:26overran the ball
39:28just about got there in time
39:30to put himself a free kick.
39:32He rectified a
39:34poor first touch.
39:49I imagine it's a bit too far out
39:51to go for goal.
39:52It's interesting that Sergio Dominguez
39:54the rookie is standing over the ball
39:56with Tony.
39:58Normally the responsibility
40:00in a position like this
40:02would be with Rafinha the Brazilian.
40:09There's a too narrow wall
40:11just as a protection.
40:13As Lourdes leaps into the danger area.
40:15Barter corner.
40:23There's the main threat
40:25from set plays.
40:27He's still good in the air
40:29Lewandowski.
40:31Excellent movement.
40:33Trying to become invisible
40:35so they don't notice him
40:37and then he'll come alive
40:39when he drops his way.
40:41Garcia can't get there.
40:43Excellent defending from
40:45Osasuna.
40:53Good day.
40:59Pedro.
41:02Garcia.
41:10Too obvious with the pass there.
41:12Gennad Martín.
41:16Garcia here to step up
41:18the standards.
41:20These young Barcelona players
41:22drafted in from the B team.
41:26Many of them had an excellent
41:28tour to the States
41:30in the summer when the international players
41:32were recovering from the Euros
41:34and the Copa America.
41:36Figures have the confidence
41:38to rely on them.
41:40He said earlier this week
41:42that he's been betting on La Masia
41:44the club's academy.
41:46It has been a necessity.
41:49Toro
41:50tries to win the ball
41:52through the back of Pedri.
41:54Clear foul from the holding
41:56midfield player.
42:00Toro
42:02looking wide to Martín.
42:09Now Higdon.
42:13He was looking for the run of
42:15Lewandowski in between the two
42:17centre-backs.
42:18Still on that occasion.
42:20Two clubs who will be delighted
42:22with this poor performance
42:24from Barcelona.
42:26The two Madrid giants,
42:28Atletico and Real Madrid.
42:30They go head-to-head tomorrow
42:32during this 2.30pm Eastern time
42:34on ESPN+.
42:36And Deportes.
42:38A massive game.
42:40Real company four points behind
42:42Barcelona.
42:44Atletico six points behind
42:46the early front-runners.
42:49If Barca won,
42:51they'd have a
42:53seven and nine point advantage.
42:55But that's a major ask at the moment.
42:57Three minutes to half-time.
42:59Two goals down.
43:02Porre
43:04doesn't get there the second time.
43:06Dominguez comes, looks a little uncertain.
43:10Hunde.
43:12Barcelona counter-attack.
43:14Lewandowski.
43:19Seeking support.
43:21Gets it from Juventut.
43:23You can hear the reaction
43:25from the Otasuna supporters.
43:27Their players getting back
43:29and regrouping.
43:31But they need to get behind the ball.
43:33Martin.
43:35That cross basically sums up
43:37the Barcelona first-half performance.
43:39Just hasn't been precise
43:41or sharp enough.
43:43Hunde tries to go through
43:45Boyoma.
43:46Hunde.
43:48They get a set play from it.
43:52Ramos on the cover.
43:54Out for the set play.
43:58The habit has been to launch the ball
44:00to the far post this season,
44:02as you can see.
44:13To Torre.
44:14A soft header from
44:16Eric Garcia.
44:38Dominguez.
44:42You can see the Barcelona kids
44:44getting rattled.
44:55Aymar to
44:57Zalagoza scoring the second goal.
45:03Cruz.
45:05Aymar.
45:07Zalagoza again.
45:09Brilliant run this from deep.
45:11He's got the space and the time as well.
45:12He's got to count the right player.
45:14And an adventurous
45:16flash across the goal
45:18from Pablo Ibanez.
45:20Another escape for Barcelona.
45:22Well, a couple of balls
45:24played in behind again.
45:26Right-sided centre-back.
45:28Dominguez didn't see it.
45:30Nor did Pedry.
45:32A little bit unlucky here.
45:34Has to do really well to get
45:37above the ball.
45:39Just missing that far post.
45:41Koundé. No foul.
45:43Aymar is away.
45:45And then Torres has had to
45:47act as a defender at the moment.
45:49Barcelona misshapen,
45:51just praying for that half-time whistle.
45:53They get a whistle for offside.
45:56And I'm sure that Hansi Flick
45:58can't wait for the half-time break as well.
46:00He's got to be professional,
46:02but he's also got to be paternal
46:04with these young players.
46:06He's taken a major gamble tonight,
46:08which has backfired.
46:10A lot earlier than that.
46:12Zanagosa would have been onside.
46:14But I think he's got a major problem
46:16going into the second half.
46:18He's got to make a big decision, hasn't he?
46:21Particularly Dominguez.
46:23He's not reading the danger.
46:25But the other player that
46:27I'm very critical of him,
46:29Eric Garcia, as the holding midfield player.
46:31He's given the ball away cheaply
46:33on two or three occasions.
46:35He's not read danger.
46:37He's not helped out his centre-halves.
46:40It's the final first-half chance for Barcelona.
46:42Referees added two minutes.
46:52I haven't seen anything of Pau Victor
46:55out on that left-hand side.
46:57Pedri, eager to take the corner.
46:59Nobody got on the near-post Flick.
47:02It's been a fairly comfortable game for Coutinho,
47:05the centre-half.
47:07There's that little flick at the near-post.
47:09They went to sleep.
47:11Coutinho just gets it away.
47:14Pau Victor.
47:16Toni.
47:23Koundé in the central striker's position.
47:26Goalkeeper.
47:27He hasn't really been tested, has he?
47:29Herrera.
47:32There it is.
47:34He's trying to get less on it.
47:36Send it towards the far post.
47:38But not a comfortable goalkeeper,
47:40I wouldn't say.
47:42I'm sure when we join
47:44our FC team during the break,
47:46they're going to be critical
47:48of the Barcelona performance.
47:50But maybe,
47:52I don't know.
47:54I don't know.
47:55But maybe,
47:57we should point to the excellence of Osasuna.
48:00An experienced team
48:02who haven't been beaten at home.
48:04In fact, they're looking to win four games in a row
48:07for the first time in 13 years.
48:09And they left Barcelona in their shadows.
48:11That was the icing
48:13on the first half cake there
48:15from Brian Thadde-Golfer.
48:17Third goal, he scored against Barcelona
48:19in one and a half games against them.
48:21And the fear for Barca, is there more to come?
48:23As Osasuna
48:25on a roll.
48:27Hansi Plick has 15 minutes
48:29to change the course of the evening.
48:31Big team talk
48:33and maybe some big changes to be made as well.
48:35Because El Sedar, half-time,
48:37Osasuna 2.
