Goalkeeper
Joan Garcia – 6.5
Made a crucial save to deny Ante Budimir in the first half. Apart from picking the ball out of his net late in the game, his workload was relatively light.
Defenders
Eric Garcia – 6.5
While not his most commanding performance and marked by a late yellow card, Barcelona’s versatile player put in a solid defensive effort.
Pau Cubarsi – 8
Cubarsi is experiencing a stellar run of form. His crucial last-ditch tackle early in the match set the tone for another strong display in Pamplona, building on his performance against Getafe.
Gerard Martin – 7
Effectively managed Ante Budimir. However, he will be disappointed to have allowed Raul Garcia de Haro to slip behind him for Osasuna’s equalizer.
Joao Cancelo – 7
Delivered another dependable defensive performance. However, he shares responsibility for failing to track Garcia de Haro, which prevented Barcelona from keeping a clean sheet.
Midfielders
Pedri – 7.5
Pedri’s influence is growing week by week. He dictated the tempo in Barcelona’s midfield, although a knock to his knee in the second half raised some concerns.
Gavi – 6.5
Showed his usual tenacity and fighting spirit. However, a first-half yellow card limited his freedom, and he was one of the players substituted early in the second half.
Forwards
Roony Bardghji – 6
Given his second consecutive start by Hansi Flick, the Swedish winger failed to make a significant impact at El Sadar. He struggled to get past Javi Galan, unlike his replacement, Rashford, who proved more effective.
Dani Olmo – 6
Missed a prime opportunity to open the scoring early in the second half, reflecting a generally ineffective performance.
Fermin Lopez – 6.5
Much more effective when drifting inside, he combined well with Torres for Barcelona’s second goal.
Robert Lewandowski – 6.5
Osasuna managed to keep him largely quiet until he headed home the opening goal in the 81st minute. This strike marks his 17th of the season, with 13 in La Liga.
Substitutes
Frenkie de Jong – 6.5
His introduction brought a much-needed sense of composure to Barcelona’s play.
Marcus Rashford – 7
Provided an excellent cross that Lewandowski headed in for the opener. Although his long-term future at Barcelona is uncertain, the Manchester United loanee continues to make a positive impact.
Ferran Torres – 6.5
Introduced on the left wing, Torres appeared somewhat uncomfortable but proved decisive by scoring Barcelona’s second goal in the 88th minute.
Ronald Araujo – N/A
Came on late in the game for the cautioned Eric Garcia.
Marc Bernal – N/A
Marked his return from injury with an appearance for the teenage midfielder.
