Barcelona's unbeaten start to the LaLiga season came to an end as Osasuna secured a resounding 4-2 victory at home. Despite taking an early lead, Barça were undone by Ante Budimir's brace and Bryan Zaragoza's strike.
Osasuna shattered LaLiga leaders Barcelona 's perfect start to the season with an emphatic 4-2 victory on Saturday and their coach Hansi Flick said he would take the blame.
Abel Bretones added a sensational fourth from the edge of the box, before Lamine Yamal pulled one back with a fine effort of his own. The coach, missing several key players through injury, handed starts to inexperienced defenders Gerard Martin and Sergi Dominguez as well as Pablo Torre in midfield and Victor in attack.
Last season Zaragoza struck twice while playing for Granada in a 2-2 draw against Barca, a performance which helped earn him a move to Bayern Munich. Barcelona complained there had been a foul on Victor in the build-up but the referee waved their complaints away. Ruben Pena wasted a glorious chance to grab a fourth but Bretones made no mistake with a vicious effort from the edge of the box.
