Robert Lewandowski is La Liga's top scorer with 23 goals Barcelona beat Osasuna in their rearranged La Liga fixture to move three points clear at the top of the table. The game was meant to be played on 8 March but was called off 20 minutes before kick-off after the death of Barcelona's first-team doctor Carles Minarro Garcia. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick criticised the timing of this rescheduled match, coming a day after the end of the international break - with 27-goal Raphinha missing out after travelling back from Brazil duty. "It's disrespectful to the club to schedule that match on that date, no matter what club it is, " Barca defender Jules Kounde told DAZN. "I think that beyond the lack of respect for the clubs, it's a lack of respect for the players, because we have to understand that we're not machines. " Kounde played a full 90 minutes plus extra time and penalties in France's victory over Croatia in the Nations League on Sunday. On Thursday, the Catalans were comfortable winners at their temporary Olympic Stadium home. Ferran Torres slid them into the lead from Alex Balde's cross. Dani Olmo then won a penalty after being fouled by goalkeeper Sergio Herrera. Herrera saved Olmo's spot-kick - but it had to be retaken because an Osasuna player encroached in the box. Olmo scored the second time around, but in a busy first half later had to be replaced because of injury. Substitute Robert Lewandowski headed in a third goal to cap a swift counter-attack. Barcelona, who are three points above Real Madrid and seven clear of Atletico Madrid, are next in action at home to neighbours Girona in La Liga on Sunday.
