Gavi, Ferran start in a 4-2-3-1 – How Barcelona can line up against Osasuna
Gavi, Ferran start in a 4-2-3-1 – How Barcelona can line up against Osasuna Barcelona are closing in on the La Liga title, and this weekend could prove decisive as they travel to Estadio El Sadar to face Osasuna . The Catalan side have built a commanding lead at the top, and the finish line is now clearly in sight. With Hansi Flick at the helm, Barcelona have opened up an 11-point gap over Real Madrid, putting them in complete control of the title race.
While the hosts have a European spot to play for, history favours Barcelona, who have dominated this fixture over the years, including the 2-0 win back in December. As such, it must be noted that Barcelona could be crowned champions this weekend, but only if results go their way. A win in Pamplona would take them to 88 points, and they would then need Real Madrid to drop points against Espanyol.
It sets up a scenario where Barcelona can do their part first and then wait for confirmation. On that note, lets take a look at how the team can lineup later today. Defence Joan Garcia will be playing for a major personal honour.

The only forced change comes at right-back. Jules Kounde is unavailable due to suspension, which opens the door for Eric Garcia to step in. The Spaniard has proven to be a reliable option across multiple roles, and this is another opportunity for him to deliver.
