FC Barcelona escaped dropping points in Pamplona against CA Osasuna. Osasuna went ahead in the sixth minute through David Garcia. Ruben Garcia swung in a cross from the corner and David Garcia connected a powerful header to give the hosts a surprising lead. Robert Lewandowski was shown the second yellow card of the game for whacking David Garcia in the 31st minute, resulting in a straight send off. Gerard Pique had a memorable farewell at Camp Nou last weekend but his final game as a Barcelona player ended in dramatic fashion as the Spaniard was shown a red card on the bench for protesting and haranguing the match officials. In the second half, Pedri found the equaliser, lashing the ball into the bottom left corner. As Barca continued knocking on the door for a winner, their efforts were finally rewarded in the 85th minute when substitute Raphinha beat an offside trap to get to Frenkie de Jong’s pass and smash it over the Osasuna keeper first time. The win allows Barcelona to extend their gap at the top to five points ahead of the FIFA World Cup break.
