Barcelona player ratings against Osasuna: Substitutes make the difference at El Sadar
Barcelona player ratings against Osasuna: Substitutes make the difference at El Sadar Barcelona are on the verge of wrapping up a second La Liga title in a row after an impressive 2-1 victory over Osasuna on Saturday, with goals coming from Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres. Joan Garcia – 6. 5 Made a fine stop to deny Ante Budimir in the first half, but aside from that, did not have too much to do – apart from picking the ball out of his net late on.
Eric Garcia – 6. 5 Not his most convincing performance, and he did pick up a late yellow card. Nevertheless, Barcelona’s utility man was solid once again.
Pau Cubarsi – 8 Cubarsi is in the form of his life at the moment, with another strong performance in Pamplona to back up his efforts against Getafe last weekend. He made a crucial last man challenge early on, and that set the tone for him. Gerard Martin – 7 Dealt well with Ante Budimir, although he will be disappointed to have let Raul Garcia de Haro ghost in behind him for Osasuna’s goal.
Joao Cancelo – 7 Another solid defensive performance from the Al Hilal loanee, although he also played a part in not picking up Garcia de Haro for the goal that stopped Barcelona picking up another clean sheet. Pedri – 7. 5 He’s getting better and better as the weeks go on.
He controlled the midfield for Barcelona, although there were some concerns when he took a blow to his knee in the second half. Gavi – 6. 5 Battled as hard as usual, although he was hamstrung by a yellow card picked up in the first half.
