Table-toppers Barcelona look to secure a seventh consecutive league victory against struggling Osasuna, with coach Hansi Flick stressing “100% Barca” focus as they navigate injuries and aim to extend their lead in La Liga.
Reigning champions Barcelona host Osasuna at the Spotify Camp Nou aiming for their seventh straight victory in La Liga.
A run of six consecutive wins has put Hansi Flick’s side four points clear of bitter rivals Real Madrid at the top of the standings.
Osasuna, who have managed only one win in their last seven league matches, face a highly unfavorable matchup.
Despite the table disparity, manager Hansi Flick insisted the squad must maintain sharp focus. Flick asserted: “We have to focus on ourselves. Not on Real Madrid. 100% Barca.”
He warned against complacency, adding, “All matches are difficult if you don’t play at 100%.” The Catalans are eager to extend their perfect record in games played at the Camp Nou this season.
Barcelona will be without Dani Olmo and Gavi due to injury, while Ronald Araújo is unavailable for personal reasons.
Tactically, Flick is expected to continue the experiment of using Lamine Yamal in a central attacking role. Osasuna’s main scoring threat comes from Ante Budimir, who bagged a brace against Barça last season, though a comfortable 5-1 win is predicted for the hosts.
