I don't think Barcelona can win this match. There is a possibility that the match will be a draw, so this probability is very low. Because this is Osasuna's home match. In the first half we saw a good performance from the team. Since Osasuna has now taken a 2-0 lead, Osasuna will try to play completely defensively in the second half. Because of this, it will be more difficult for Barcelona's players to break Osasuna's defense in the second half.

Barcelona did not play well in the first half because Barcelona did not keep some important players of the squad in the starting XI Hansi Flick.Raphinha and Yamal are not in the squad. De Jong and Olmo are also out of the squad due to injuries. Because of these reasons, Barcelona's performance is a bit slow.
Barcelona improved in the second half and they have scored 1 goal so far. Ossasuna was too confident when they managed to lead 2-0 in the first half, sometimes this is not good for the team's performance. Barcelona can still win this match if they can maximize every opportunity, but Hansi Flick needs to increase the attacking intensity in his game and of course they have to play their two best strikers.

Lamine Yamal and Raphinha are finally playing now and these two players could possibly help Barcelona avoid defeat. A draw is undesirable, let alone a loss, but anything is possible because I see problems in their defense.

I would say it was a wrong decision by Hansi Flick to leave Yamal and Raphinha out of the squad for this match. And this is why Barcelona are going to lose. Osasuna team cannot be called weak as we have seen good performances from this team in previous matches this season. But Hansi Flick considers this group to be weak. And that's why he didn't keep Yamal and Raphinha in the starting XI.

Barcelona played defensively in the first half but conceded two goals and fell behind. Barcelona started the second half well. Pau Victor managed to score a goal. But in the 72nd minute, Osasuna scored a goal from the penalty spot to lead the match 3-1. And I don't see any chance for Barcelona to make a comeback in this match.

The Champions League match is definitely important for Hansi Flick. So he didn't want to keep Raphinha and Yamal in the squad. But it goes without saying that Barcelona's midfield is quite shaky at the moment. So Yamal and Raphinha were needed by Barcelona in the first half.
