At 23:15 Beijing time on December 12, the 17th round of La Liga ushered in a focus battle: the traditional giants of La Liga, Barcelona, played away against the weak Osasuna.
Despite losing star Lionel Messi this summer, Barca's total value is still 810 million euros, and the club is ranked 10th in the world. Osasuna is worth only 80 million euros, making the club 92nd in the world. Strength and weakness are very clear!
In the game, Barca started at 3331, with Luke De Jong playing as a centre-forward, forward ahead line Aboud, Frankie De Jong and Dembele, three midfielders Garvey, Busquets and Nico González, three centre-backs Umtiti, Pique and Araujo, and goalkeeper Ter Stegen. The total value of the starting eleven is 280 million euros.
Osasuna started in a 4141 formation, with Kik playing as a center. The total value of the starting eleven is 52.7 million euros.
After the game began, Osasuna, who was playing at home, began to attack.
The first player was Barca, and in the 12th minute, Gavi picked up the ball and picked it up in the box, and Nico Gonzalez, who inserted into the box, formed a single knife to face the Osasuna goalkeeper to pick out the goal. Barca led Osasuna 1-0 away.
Two minutes later, Osasuna equalised, Osasuna set-piece on the right, Ruben Garcia passed the ball into the box and David Garcia headed the ball into the goal.
French centre-back Umtiti, who started the game, was once regarded as the world's number one centre-back when he first joined Barca, but judging from his performance in this game, his level is really not worthy of Barca. In the 20th minute, Umtiti broke free and almost swung himself to concede the ball.
Towards the end of the first half, Frankie De Jong received Dembele's cross from inside the box and was knocked down by the opposing defender, but the referee did not show any indication.
Shortly after the start of the second half, a pass from the Osasuna player hit Busquets in the penalty area, and the referee did not show any indication.
In the 49th minute, Barca took the lead again, with the attack coming from Dembele's instigation, with Aboud completing the goal.
In the 80th minute, Dembele was injured and replaced by Coutinho.
In the final moments, Barca's near-three points became 1. In the 86th minute, Osasuna's corner kick was set off and Avila scored from a distance. Osasuna equalised again.
Five minutes into stoppage time, Barca failed to complete the deadlock. In the 90th minute, Mingeza crossed and Luke De Jong barbed the ball. In the 95th minute, De Jong's cross was met by Coutinho's shot that was not right.
When Koeman was in charge, Barca La Liga's record in the same period was a new low in nearly 20 years, and the Champions League group stage was close to being out. Koeman was dismissed and legendary midfielder Harvey returned as manager, with high hopes. But the current situation in Barcelona has not changed in the slightest.
Xavi's Barcelona, the first time in 21 years, did not qualify for the Champions League group, La Liga 16 games and 24 points ranked 8th in the La Liga table, 15 points less than the leader Real Madrid, 5 points less than the 4th Atletico Madrid (15 rounds have been played), the end of the season, it is very likely that even the top four will not be able to enter. Barca still want to play in the Champions League next season, and may only have one way to win the Europa League. But in La Liga can not even win a middle and lower reaches of the team, the Europa League, how to compete with Napoli, West Ham United and other five major leagues?
