At 23:15 on the evening of December 12, Beijing time, the 17th round of the 21/22 season La Liga will usher in a highlight. At the El Zada Stadium, Barcelona will play away against Osasuna.
Confrontation record
In the history of La Liga, the two teams faced a total of 78 times. Barcelona won 45 wins, 17 draws and 16 losses, and scored 170 to 66 goals. In the away game, Barcelona won 15 wins, 13 draws and 11 losses, with 54 to 46 goals lost. The last time Barcelona lost to Osasuna occurred in the 37th round of the 19/20 season. After losing 1-2 at home, Barcelona lost the possibility of winning the season one round early. The last time Barcelona lost to Osasuna in the away game occurred in the 23rd round of the 11/12 season, when Barcelona lost 2-3 away in the away game.
Morale low after the UEFA Champions League exit
With a home win over Benfica to qualify for the Champions League early, Barcelona eventually drew 0-0 with their opponents. In the middle of this week, Barcelona lost 0-3 away to Bayern and missed the Champions League knockout for the first time in 18 years. After returning to the locker room with a 0-2 score in the midfield, Harvey even criticized some players for not being worthy of playing for Barcelona. Today, the Red and Blue Corps are in the lowest morale stage.
Injury outbreak
After losing 0-3 to Bayern, Alba and Depay both suffered muscle injuries, and their reimbursement for 2021 has been advanced. At the left-back position, Harvey can only make Mingesa or Durst a cameo. The bigger problem for Barcelona is in the center position. Depay, Fati, Aguero and Breiswaite are all recovering from injuries. Luc De Jong, who was basically abandoned before, turned out to be the only healthy candidate. Could it be that Barcelona really rely on Pique to play center?
The venue may have hidden dangers
The city of Pamplona, where Osasuna is located, has been raining continuously for more than 15 days. In some blocks, heavy rainfall has caused floods, and some blocks have suffered landslides. In this case, the turf condition of the stadium is obviously worrying. Barcelona, a technically streamlined team, originally had higher requirements on the turf condition of the stadium. Osasuna, who emphasizes physical confrontation, is more willing to play against Barcelona in the “vegetable field”.
Pre-match remarks
Xavi (Barcelona coach): I am very worried and very busy. We must recover from the defeat in Munich. Everything will not stop. We have other opportunities to continue to improve. We have to find a good feeling again. We have to get 3 points. I think we have made progress, such as pressing after losing possession, such as defense. We will do our best to restore Barcelona to the previous level, to be able to compete with teams like Bayern.
