Inspired Osasuna end Flick’s winning La Liga streak!

Osasuna delivered a stunning performance to secure a 4-2 victory over Barcelona in La Liga, with Bryan Zaragoza’s first-half goal and assist leading the way. This emphatic win ended a run of five winless matches for Los Rojillos against the Blaugrana.Osasuna started with high intensity, aiming to exploit Barça’s young defense. Though Barcelona initially held firm, with Eric García blocking a Bryan Zaragoza shot, Osasuna continued to press. Ante Budimir nearly opened the scoring with a powerful strike that narrowly missed the far post. Moments later, Budimir did find the net, heading home a perfect cross from Zaragoza after shaking off Jules Koundé and beating Pau Cubarsí to the ball.Osasuna kept up the pressure and nearly capitalized again when Iñaki Peña’s clearance fell to Rubén García, whose shot struck Budimir. Moments later, Zaragoza made no mistake, rounding Peña after receiving a well-timed through ball from Pablo Ibáñez and calmly slotting it into the net. Barcelona tried to respond, but struggled to connect with Robert Lewandowski, and Koundé’s header that hit the crossbar just before halftime was their closest chance.After the break, Lewandowski was more involved, narrowly missing a free-kick and then being denied by Sergio Herrera. However, Herrera gifted Barça a way back when he misplaced a throw, allowing Gerard Martín to set up Pau Víctor, whose shot squeezed past the keeper. With Barcelona gaining momentum, substitutes Lamine Yamal and Raphinha pushed Osasuna back, though Budimir continued to threaten on the counter, while Ferran Torres was thwarted by Herrera.Budimir restored Osasuna’s two-goal lead by winning and converting a penalty after being fouled by Sergi Domínguez. Abel Bretones then capped off a memorable night with a brilliant strike in the 85th minute. Yamal pulled one back for Barça with a beautiful goal, but it wasn’t enough to stop Osasuna from celebrating their fourth consecutive home win in La Liga for the first time since 2008. The triumph was all the more impressive as it came against a previously unbeaten Barcelona side.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 8FridayValladolid – Mallorca 1-2 (0-0)/Sanchez 90+4 – Larin 59, Fernandez 83/SaturdayGetafe – Alaves 2-0 (0-0)/Arambarri 42, Milla 58 pen/Rayo Vallecano – Leganes 1-1 (0-0)/Camelo 8 – Cruz 55/Sociedad – Valencia 3-0 (1-0)/Kubo 8, Oskarsson 80, 90+2/Osasuna – Barcelona 4-2 (2-0)/Budimir 18, 72 pen, Zaragoza 28, Bretones 85 – Victor 58, Yamal 89/Sunday15:00: (2.15) Celta (3.45) Girona (3.35)17:15: (1.75) Ath.Bilbao (3.50) Sevilla (5.00)19:30: (1.75) Betis (3.60) Espanyol (5.60)22:00: (2.85) Atl.Madrid (3.50) Real Madrid (2.55)Monday22:00: (1.52) Villareal (4.20) Las Palmas (6.25)***odds are subject to change***
