Barcelona came to the match willing to close the gap at the top of the table after Real Madrid failure against Almeria. Thanks to Xavi who finally gave the fans what they have come for before three minutes from the finall whistle. In the other side Osasuna didn’t give any sign that they wanted to win the game.
Barca went out from the beginning for the opening goal, they were able to reach Ricardo in many occasions, and even passing him when Iniesta chipped the ball over him but Osasuna defender cleared it into a corner kick. The attacking football was continuously done by Barcelona, they tried hard to push forword but the result remained the unchanged.
After the break, Barcelona kept on dominating the game, the will for an opening goal was no more the players desire, the only desire for them became a winning goal, but still Osasuna wall couldn’t fall apart. Henry and Messi were obviously exhausted after playing the last game in the spanish cup, both of them left the field giving the way to Giovani Dos Santos and Ronaldinho. Barcelona not scoring didn’t please the fan, in the same time Osasuna was keeping the same defending style, moreover they were into wasting time and complaning to the referee. The last substitution came on the 81th minte when Xavi replaced Deco. On the 87th minute, after good work from Giovani, he set the ball for Iniesta who tried his luck but his ball was reflected by Osasuna defense, then finding Xavi who gave Barca the winning goal to assure the three points.
In general, Barcelona played their attacking football style. One thing remains unsolved for Frank which is the lack of goals, he already mentioned this fact to the media asking his players for more goals, adding that being the side who deserve to win doesn’t bring the three points. In the other hand side, Barcelona defense still shows quality in keeping their goal clean giving them the title of the best defense line in La Liga this season, thanks to the additional services provided by Milito and Abidal.
