    Thanks for following the game with us! For the coverage of other sports events have a look at our schedule! (20:54:29)
     
    In the second half Lionel Messi added another two goals for a very easy 5-1 win by Barcelona against Osasuna who had to play with 10 men for more than one hour. It was the expected clear win for the home side who recompensed for the loss last week against Real Sociedad. For Osasuna this loss is no big deal in their fight against relegation as it was expected.
     
    Game over.
     
    90+2
    Villa with another big opportunity but his shot towards the left bottom corner is just cleared by Andrés Fernández for a last corner.
     
    90+2
    Through ball to Alexis Sánchez but instead of going himself for the goal he tried it with a cross pass that was blocked... it's not his day....
     
    90
    Two minutes are added to the game.
     
    89
    Barcelona with a shot that goes wide. Andrés Fernández would have been there probably.
     
    87
    Thiago completely over motivated hits his opponent in the face while trying to score with an overhead kick...
     
    85
    Barcelona are waiting in the Osasuna half all time. The only player who still sees some importance in the outcome of the game seems to be Alexsi Sánchez in his search of a league goal.
     
    82
    Superb combination by Barcelona without any resistance by Osasuna but in the end Andréas Fernández leaves his net to get theb all.
     
    80
    Incredible. Through ball to Messi, his pass from the right side of the Osasuna area comes to Alexis Sánchez but in the last moment a defender can clear at cost of a corner!
     
    78
    Again Alexis Sánchez with the ball inside the Osasuna area but he waited too long and then he gave the pass to Messi whose shot was blocked.
     
    77
    A nice combination by two Osasuna players but their attack ends with the loss of the ball.
     
    76
    Villa from the second row, over the crossbar.
     
    76
    Alexis Sánchez gets a lob at the 18-yard box, turns around and his shot goes wide only by inches! He is still looking for his first goal in Primera División this season so that there is a lot of motivation for him to score in the remaining time.
     
    74
    Alex Song gets some playing time for Sergio Busquets. Now both teams have done all changes.
     
    71
    Oier received a painful hit in the back by Dani Alves and there is a break now.
     
    68
    Miguel Flaño leaves the pitch for Rubén. Now Osasuna have used all their three options for changes.
     
    66
    Xavi made an extraordinary game and he leaves the pitch with a lot of applause by the home fans. In for him is Cesc Fabregas.
     
    65
    It's not much more than a practice match for Barcelona since the 2-1. Oier just had the ball in the Barcelona half but not a single team colleague followed his example...
     
    63
    Through ball for Alexis Sánchez but his flat pass then was blocked by a defender.
     
    62
    Chance by Villa and finally Andrés Fernández can make a save!
     
    61
    Alexis Sánchez gets some playing time for goal scorer Pedro. First change by Barcelona.
     
    60
    Dani Alves starts at the right wing and gets the long ball but he was just a few inches offside.
     
    58
    Goal for Barcelona!

    And already the next one for LIONEL MESSI! Combination between Villa and Adriano and from a short distance Messi gets the ball into the net - strike number 4 for him today!
     
    56
    Goal for Barcelona!

    Through ball by David Villa to LIONEL MESSI and the Argentinian striker went past three defenders and the goalkeeper to get the ball in from a sharp angle! Hat trick!
     
    55
    Long ball to Messi but he also stood offside.
     
    53
    Another offside goal by Barcelona and this time the assistant was right. Pedro was the one who was in the irregular position.
     
    52
    Beautiful cross by Dani Alves from the right outside lane with the outside of his foot but the following header was blocked at the six-yard box - corner.
     
    51
    Oier (Osasuna) sees a yellow card after he came late against Dani Alves.
     
    50
    First dangerous situation of the second half. In the last moment Andrés Fernández cleared before a Barcelona striker was there.
     
    49
    Very slow begin into the second half. Barcelona are controlling the ball without looking for chances yet.
     
    46
    And Puñal is the substitute for Cejudo.
     
    46
    Double change by Osasuna. Masoud is in for the weak De Las Cuevas.
     
    46
    Start of 2nd half.
     
    Osasuna started well with a lot of pressing and made life a bit difficult for Barcelona. Even after the early home lead through Messi, Osasuna continued with their efforts and were rewarded with the equalizer through Noe. After the sending off against Arribas and the following two strikes by Messi and Pedro, the game is more or less already decided after 45 minutes and only the height of the Barcelona win should be a question.
     
    1st halftime finished.
     
    45+1
    Villa with a nice lay-off for Messi whose shot is blocked.
     
    45
    One minute is added to the first half.
     
    45
    Long free kick towards Llorente but in the end he made a foul against Puyol within the Barcelona area.
     
    44
    Against the decimated guest defense, Barcelona only have few problems to create danger. The game is more than one-sided right now.
     
    42
    Puyol tries it with a bicycle kick inside the six-yard box but the goalkeeper was there before.
     
    42
    This time a through ball was intercepted by a defender - corner Barcelona.
     
    40
    Goal for Barcelona!

    Long ball by Xavi to Dani Alves and this time it looked like an offside position but there was no call. The Brazilian could have scored himself from a short distance with only the goalkeeper in front of him but he gave the ball to PEDRO who finnished the job!
     
    38
    Messi with a header from a few metres distance only, hits the goal post!
     
    36
    Great combination by the hosts. Dani Alves with a nice through ball to Messi who gave the ball to Pedro in the middle of the area and the striker scored from a short distance - but the referees gave an offside! This time it was the wrong decision though!
     
    34
    And another offside by Pedro. The Osasuna offside trap works well.
     
    33
    Pedro in the offside position.
     
    32
    The hosts with a shot from the second row. No problem for Fernández.
     
    31
    Osasuna head coach Mendilibar is sent off by the referee for protesting after the penalty shot and the red card.
     
    30
    Lionel Messi with the next chance for the home side. His shot was blocked in the last moment at cost of the first Barcelona corner.
     
    28
    Goal for Barcelona!

    LIONEL MESSI fired the penalty shot into the left bottom corner. The shot was so hard and so well-placed that Fernández would have had much trouble even if he would have been in the right corner.
     
    27
    And for Arribas (Osasuna) it was the second yellow card. Osasuna are going to play with a man less during more than one hour...
     
    27
    Penalty shot for Barcelona for a handball by Arribas.
     
    25
    Pedro with a shot from 20 metres but the ball goes over the crossbar by about ten metres...
     
    24
    Goal for Osasuna!

    Bertrán with a well-placed cross and at the 18-yard box LOE takes the ball directly and fires it into the left bottom corner - seen from the shooter - absolutely no chance for Valdés in this surprising equalizer!
     
    23
    Through ball to Villa but the Barcelona striker was offside.
     
    22
    Cejudo was hit by Busquets and lays on the ground.
     
    21
    Two dangerous crosses by Barcelona who are now increasing their efforts.
     
    19
    The free kick from the right wing towards the six-yard box was cleared by Andrés Fernández but the goalkeeper crashed into Puyol and injured himself but the play was not ended by the referee and the rebound by Xavi who tried it with a volley went wide only by inches!
     
    18
    Arribas (Osasuna) sees a yellow card for blocking a cross with his arms.
     
    17
    Header by the guests over the crossbar and shortly afterwards they had the second corner of the game but it was cleared without danger.
     
    16
    Osasuna continue with their game plan to keep Barcelona as far as possible away from their own goal.
     
    15
    Cejudo runs into an offside position.
     
    14
    The guests with a cross from the left outside lane but easy job for Valdés.
     
    13
    Adriano (Barcelona) sees the first yellow card of the game for a hard entry against Oier in the midfield.
     
    12
    An opportunity by the guests but the shot is blocked and then two players of the guests stop each other.
     
    11
    Goal for Barcelona!

    Osasuna goalkeeper Andrés Fernández with a misdirected pass to Xavi when he wanted to clear against a Barca striker. Xavi could have tried it with a lob himself but he played a great through ball to LIONEL MESSI who left the goalkeeper no chance and went past him for the early lead!
     
    10
    Long ball to Llorente but he couldn't controll it at the Barca area.
     
    8
    Osasuna continue their early pressing and they keep Barcelona in their own half by now most of the time.
     
    6
    Villa with the through ball to Pedro within the guest area but the Barca striker was 2 metres offside.
     
    5
    On the other side Joseba Llorente is called back for offside but this was not the correct decision by the referees...
     
    4
    Suddenly Thiago receives a long ball, he gets past Bertrán and Arribas, touches the ball three times before trying a lob but Fernández can clear the ball to the side in the last moment!
     
    3
    Almost an Osasuna striker is through against two Barca defenders but together they get the ball back.
     
    2
    Aggressive start by the guests who stayed in ball possession in the Barcelona half during most of the first two minutes.
     
    1
    Game started.
     
    Starting lineups:

    FC Barcelona: Valdés - D. Alves, Mascherano, Puyol, Adriano - Xavi, Busquets, Thiago - Pedro, Messi, Villa

    CA Osasuna: A. Fernández - Nano, M. Flaño, Arribas, Bertrán - Loe, Lolo - De Las Cuevas, Oier, Cejudo - Llorente

    Referees: Teixeira Vitienes
     
    FC Barcelona are playing an extraordinary season, being first in Primera División with a 18-1-1 record and 55 points after 20 games. That's something guests CA Osasuna only can dream of with their 18 points that let them be only 18th and thus on a relegation spot.

    In the last league game though FC Barcelona's season performance received a little scratch when they lost away against Real Sociedad (2-3) despite a two-goal advantage. This was their first loss of points in the league after 12 consecutive wins. Osasuna earned a boost in their last two home matches against Real Madrid (0-0) and Deportivo La Coruña (2-1) that brought them much hope back to stay in the league.

    Still points for Osasuna would be a miracle this evening as they lost their last three matches on the road against FC Barcelona without scoring a single goal, including a huge package in their last visit to Catalunya in 2011 when they lost 0-8.

    Another easy win for FC Barcelona or another slip of the top stars, we'll know it soon.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 18:00 GMT / 19:00 CET.
