Osasuna vs FC Barcelona: Eight consecutive victories to make history in LaLiga

Barcelona will visit the El Sadar stadium this Saturday to face Osasuna, in the match corresponding to the eighth day of LaLiga EA Sports 2024/25. The ball will start rolling at 9:00 p.m. and will face Hansi Flick's team against one of the revelation teams at the start of this season.

Barça will seek to continue their winning streak in the league competition, where they maintain a perfect record, adding 21 points out of 21 possible, with seven consecutive wins in the first seven days. In Montjuïc, the Catalans achieved a victory of those who win leagues, defeating Getafe by the minimum despite dominating the game at 'pleasure', although they also knew how to suffer when the situation warranted it.

For their part, Vicente Moreno's team has presented themselves as one of the 'surprises' of the League. The Rojillos have three wins, two draws and two losses, placing them in seventh place in the league table. To date, they remain undefeated at home, beating Las Palmas (2-1), Mallorca (1-0) and Celta (3-2), as well as drawing against Leganés (1-1), so the visit to the kingdom of Navarra will not be easy for the culés.

Will Hansi Flick give any untouchables a rest?

Against Getafe, Hansi Flick put on the field what, with a few exceptions, has been his starting eleven throughout the season. Only Pablo Torre managed to sneak into the lineup to give Pedri a rest, while Iñaki Peña and Eric García took the places of the injured Ter Stegen and Dani Olmo. Taking into account next Tuesday's Champions League match against Young Boys, the German could rotate some of his 'untouchables'.

While Iñaki Peña will continue to defend the Barça goal due to Marc-André's absence, the centre of defence could suffer some changes. As of today, Iñigo Martínez has played in all of the games this season as a starter, so Flick could opt to replace him at the expense of Eric García, who would return to his natural position. For his part, Pedri could return to the centre of the field after being substituted in Montjuïc, accompanied by an increasingly consolidated Pablo Torre and with Marc Casadó as 'chief engineer'.

In attack, Ferran Torres, who has not started since the third matchday of the league, could cover the position of Raphinha, who has played every minute of the season for Barça. Finally, Ansu Fati could see action for the first time in the league championship, since he has not played since the eight minutes he played in the Champions League debut against Monaco.

Barça could make history

Although a visit to El Sadar is always difficult, the great form of the Blaugranas makes them favourites for the match. In the last eight matches played against each other in Pamplona, ​​the Catalans have achieved five victories and three draws. A spectacular unbeaten streak that could be extended this Saturday, September 28.

If they win, Hansi Flick's team would equal Gerardo 'el Tata' Martino's Barça as the best league start in the history of the club, writing their name in the 'golden books' of the institution. A key incentive for the Catalans, who hope to maintain their impressive momentum and take the three points to maintain their unbeaten record and the four-point advantage over their closest pursuers, Real Madrid.
