Catalan Barcelona traveled to Pamplona for the match of the eighth round of La Liga, where they suffered their first defeat of the current campaign.

The first half performance from the "Blaugrana" surprised many, ending 2-0 in favor of the hosts. Flick's side managed their first shot on target only after the 40th minute, and looked poor in attack.

After the break, we saw a different Barcelona. First, the goalkeeper failed to handle a simple shot from Delgado, marking his first goal in a Barcelona shirt. After the introduction of Yamal and Raphinha, it seemed like the chances to equalize would increase, but instead, Barça conceded two more goals. Yamal's goal was only a small consolation for the fans.

The final 4-2 result in favor of Osasuna worked to the advantage of Real Madrid and Atletico, who now have a chance to close the gap. Incidentally, Barcelona missed the opportunity to match their best-ever start to a La Liga season, when they won the first eight matches.

Osasuna — Barcelona — 4:2
Goals: Budimir 18, 72 (penalty), Zaragoza 28, Bretones 85 — Delgado 53, Yamal 90.
