"We knew it was going to be a very tight game. We lacked rhythm in our passing. In the end, against these teams, if you don't move the ball quickly, it's tough. In the end, I'm happy with the three points."
"When you play before your rivals and increase your lead, you have a relaxed Sunday at home. When things get complicated, give the ball to Pedri and he solves everything."
Barcelona defeated Osasuna with two goals from Raphinha, securing three points and moving seven points clear at the top of La Liga ahead of Real Madrid's match with Alaves. The team struggled for passing rhythm against a compact opponent and found it tough without quick ball movement. Maintaining a lead before rivals provided a calmer Sunday at home. When play became complicated, Pedri provided decisive creativity and problem-solving with his passing. Pedri has registered assists in each of his last three La Liga matches and has five assists for the season so far.
