Barça must continue. This Sunday evening, on the lawn of Osasuna and on behalf of the 4th day of La Liga, FC Barcelona must not be left behind by Real Madrid, winner of their first four matches, and can chain a third consecutive victory. Xavi’s men will have a physical advantage as Osasuna, who remain on a win against Valencia, played a Europa League Conference play-off against Club Brugge in the week. The meeting can be followed live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 9 p.m.
For this match, Xavi lines up a 4-3-3 with ter Stegen in the cages, Sergi Roberto and Baldé in full-back, a central defense with Koundé and Christensen, a De Jong-Oriol Romeu-Gündogan trio in midfield and, finally, Yamal and Gavi in support of Lewandowski, alone at the forefront of the Catalan attack. The recruits who arrived on the last day of the transfer window Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo start on the bench. Opposite, Osasuna also presents itself in 4-3-3 with, in particular, Ruben Garcia and Arnaiz alongside Raul on the front of the attack.
