Barcelona will host Osasuna on Saturday night, looking to extend their exceptional form and further their lead at the top of La Liga. With their rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid not playing until Sunday, a victory over Osasuna will see them go four points clear at the top.
Barcelona’s Unbeaten Run: Can They Keep it Going?
In 2025, Barcelona remain the only team in Europe’s top five leagues yet to lose a match. With six consecutive La Liga victories, they are on a strong run, putting them ahead of Atletico and Real Madrid. But with a crucial Champions League clash against Benfica just around the corner, Hansi Flick must balance his squad rotation carefully, mindful of Osasuna’s potential to cause an upset.
Barcelona’s Predicted Lineup Against Osasuna (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Wojciech Szczesny
After a rocky start to life in Barcelona, Szczesny has come into his own, most notably becoming a hero in their 2-1 win over Benfica with crucial saves.
Right-Back: Jules Kounde
Kounde has been a standout performer in Barcelona’s defense, including a solid showing after Pau Cubarsi’s red card against Benfica.
Center-Back: Eric Garcia
Garcia is expected to get a rare start, possibly in place of Ronald Araujo, who may be rested for the upcoming Champions League fixture.
Center-Back: Pau Cubarsi
Cubarsi, suspended for the Benfica return leg, will feature in the league game against Osasuna, looking to redeem himself after his red card in Lisbon.
Left-Back: Gerard Martin
Martin, who scored in Barcelona’s 4-0 victory over Real Sociedad, could start at left-back to give Alejandro Balde some much-needed rest before the Champions League match.
Defensive Midfield: Marc Casado
Casado, who scored his first goal for Barcelona in their last match, will likely replace Frenkie de Jong in midfield, offering defensive solidity.
Central Midfield: Pedri
Pedri has been key to Barcelona’s transition, showing his skill in both offensive and defensive phases of the game. He is expected to start again against Osasuna.
Right Midfield: Lamine Yamal
Yamal will be eager to make an impact after scoring in the previous match against Osasuna. His pace and creativity will be crucial for Barcelona’s attack.
Attacking Midfield: Dani Olmo
Olmo has been in impressive form and has proven to be a valuable player for Barcelona in recent matches. His creativity and vision will help link the play.
Left Midfield: Raphinha
Raphinha, who scored the match-winning goal against Benfica, will be key for Barcelona. His ability to make a difference in big moments will be important this weekend.
Striker: Robert Lewandowski
Lewandowski’s goal-scoring form has been outstanding, and with 34 goals in 38 matches, he is expected to add to his tally against Osasuna, who struggle on the road.
