• Barcelona suffer first defeat of the season after 4-2 loss against Osasuna
• Late effort from Lamine Yamal not enough to get visitors back in to the game
• Hansi Flick picks up first defeat of Barca reign

Barcelona suffered their first defeat of the 2024/25 La Liga campaign after falling to a 4-2 loss against Osasuna.

The Catalan giants saw a tough night in Pamplona as they struggled to create chances and put a stop to the hosts' attacking advances. Injuries and issues with the team selection troubled Barca as they were forced to bid farewell to their perfect start to the season.

How the game unfolded

Osasuna were the stronger side from the offset, charging through Barca's midfield while the visitors struggled to keep up. Jesus Areso made a strong run before firing a shot towards the box, his efforts went just wide, but it marked the first of many chances for the hosts.

Minutes later, Osasuna were awarded for their efforts. Ante Budimir was the first to find the back of the net after charging onto a cross from Bryan Zaragoza. His header flew past Inaki Pena - stepping up to replace the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegan - and put Osasuna firmly ahead.

Continuing to assert their dominance in the game, Osasuna doubled their lead 10 minutes later. This time, Zaragoza swapped his assist for a goal of his own as he made light work of slotting the ball into an empty net. His skilful movements rounded Pena, who moved into a wasteful position to gift Zaragoza a chance.

Osasuna clung onto their 2-0 lead heading into the first half, casting doubt over a once unstoppable Barca side.

When play resumed, Barca remained unchanged heading onto the pitch, desperate to claw back a result. Pau Victor was the game changer in the 53rd minute, capitalising on poor defending from goalkeeper Sergio Herrera to bring Barca back into the game.

The next goal, however, came once again for the hosts, as Budimir stepped up to take a penalty after a lunging tackle from Sergi Dominguez. He regained his composure after the foul and buried the ball into the bottom corner of the net, making it 3-1.

Refusing to settle for three, Osasuna wrapped up the game after former Real Oviedo star Abel Bretones fired a stunning strike past Pena, marking his first La Liga goal.

Minutes after allowing Bretones to steal possession, teenage wonderkid Lamine Yamal made up for his carelessness by curling a magnificent effort past Herrera, who's outstretched arm was unable to stop the 17-year-old.

His late strike wasn't enough, as Barca were forced to settle for a 4-2 defeat.
