Match Preview:
FC Barcelona will face Osasuna on Sunday night at Camp Nou following a goalless draw against Galatasaray in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League.
Xavi rotated the line-up with upcoming fixtures in mind, but given the result, further rotations now seem unlikely. Barcelona can’t afford to slip up in La Liga and must be at their best to defeat Galatasaray away. Following this match, they face the highly anticipated El Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Osasuna will be a tough opponent, making this a must-win game for Barça as they continue to fight for a Champions League spot next season. Xavi is expected to field a full-strength side to avoid any potential setbacks.
However, there could be a change in the defensive lineup, with Eric García likely partnering Gerard Piqué at center-back. Ronald Araújo is just one yellow card away from suspension, and with Real Madrid up next, Xavi may opt to rest him to ensure his availability for El Clásico.
Potential Barcelona Line-up:
Formation: 4-3-3
Goal Keeper: Ter Stegen
Defenders: Dani Alves, Gerad Pique, Eric Garcia, Jordi Alba
Midfielders: Busquets, Pedri, Gavi
Forwards: Adama, Aubameyang, Ferran
