Barcelona v Osasuna (17: 30 GMT) Kick-off is a bit behind schedule as Lamine Yamal is presented with the La Liga Player of the Month award for November. Barcelona v Osasuna (17: 30 GMT) Barcelona have won their last five home La Liga games against Osasuna without conceding a single goal. More of the same today would see Hansi Flick's side spend the night seven points clear at the top of the table. Barcelona v Osasuna (17: 30 GMT) If Osasuna take the lead today, don't count against Barcelona turning things around. Hansi Flick's side have gained 18 points from losing positions in La Liga this season, more than any other side. It's the second-highest tally by a team at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 2010-11, behind only Girona in 2023-24 (19). Barcelona v Osasuna (17: 30 GMT) You could argue that Osasuna have punched above their weight since returning to La Liga in 2019. The club from Pamplona lack the resources and finances of fellow fan-owned La Liga sides Barcelona, Real Madrid and Athletic Club, but have established themselves as a comfortable mid-table side. In 2022-23 then-manager Jagoba Arrasate led Osasuna to a seventh-place league finish and the Copa del Rey Final, where they were defeated 2-1 by Real Madrid. Things aren't going so well under Vicente Moreno, now in his second season as manager. Osasuna sit 15th in the table with 15 points after 15 games, but have won just once in their last seven league outings. Barcelona v Osasuna (17: 30 GMT) Barcelona come into this one four points clear at the top of the table, while Osasuna are 15th and just one point above the relegation zone. Barcelona v Osasuna (17: 30 GMT) When a 2-1 Clasico defeat to Real Madrid in October left Barcelona five points behind their arch-rivals, it looked like their title defence was destined to fail. Yet seven weeks later, Barca have the chance to open up a seven-point gap at the top after a nine-point swing put them in control. Hansi Flick's side have won six straight league games since that Clasico defeat, while Real Madrid have won just two of six outings (three draws and one defeat). Should Barcelona win today, then Real Madrid will look to close the gap back to four points when they face Alaves on Sunday. Barcelona v Osasuna (17: 30 GMT) Marcus Rashford says he finds nothing at Barcelona "a pressure" and is enjoying a "new language of football" as he continues to thrive since his move from Manchester United. The England forward, 28, joined the Spanish club on loan in the summer following a difficult period at Old Trafford, spending the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa. His move to La Liga has so far been a success, scoring six goals and making eight assists in 21 appearances. "I don't see anything here as like a pressure. It's just, I'm here to play football, " Rashford told BBC Sport. Read more here. This video can not be played Rashford on Barcelona: 'I'm learning a new football language' Barcelona have scored 49 goals in 17 La Liga games this season Raphinha's second-half double helped Barcelona overcome a stubborn Osasuna and open up a seven-point lead on Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. It looked set to be a frustrating evening for the defending champions, who had 21 shots to three for Osasuna until the Brazilian forward struck the opening blow in the 70th minute. Raphinha found the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area before converting at the back post in the 86th minute when a cross deflected into his path. Ferran Torres thought he had broken the deadlock in the 23rd minute when he beat the offside trap and headed in a Marcus Rashford cross. However, the video assistant referee (VAR) ruled out the goal because Raphinha's heel was offside during a short-corner routine in the build-up. Torres then went close when he met Lamine Yamal's dangerous inswinging cross, but the former Manchester City forward lifted his first-time effort over the crossbar. As defensive as Osasuna were, they did pose a threat on the counter-attack. Minutes into the second half Victor Munoz powered past Alejandro Balde only to fire wide with just home goalkeeper Joan Garcia to beat. Barcelona's dominance was finally rewarded when Pedri drove forward from midfield, found Raphinha and he finished past Sergio Herrera. Having ended the visitors' resistance, the 28-year-old made sure of the success in the final moments with a simple tap-in. Seven weeks ago Barcelona trailed Real Madrid by five points after a 2-1 defeat in El Clasico, but now find themselves seven points clear after winning seven consecutive league games. Real can reduce the deficit to four points if they win at Alaves on Sunday.
