"Yes, the truth is that it was a very tough match. They have a very strong defensive block, but with patience, as I said, we managed to score two goals, and we are happy with the team's work and with the victory."
"Yes, in the end it was hard to create chances because they were so well-organized defensively and there weren't many spaces, but in the end and with a lot of patience we were able to find the solutions and score two goals,"
"Having Rafa with us is a huge pleasure, especially for the young players, because he always offers a lot of advice. I'm really happy for him, as he's come back in excellent form after his injury."
"Yes, we're very happy with the defensive work. Winning while keeping a clean sheet is a great feeling and makes us leave the match very happy."
Barcelona faced a difficult match against Osasuna and found it hard to break down a compact defensive block. Raphinha scored the opener with twenty minutes remaining and added a second goal near full time to seal the win. The result exposed ongoing issues creating chances against well-organized defences and the recurring need to develop strategies for breaking deep blocks. Alejandro Balde highlighted patience as decisive, praised the defensive unit for keeping a clean sheet—the first in six games—and celebrated Raphinha's return to form and his positive influence on younger players.
