Osasuna secured a memorable victory over Barcelona on Saturday, with Ante Budimir scoring twice in a 4-2 win at El Sadar. Los Rojillos also became the first La Liga side to beat Hansi Flick's side, who had won their first seven league games.

For the game, Flick opted to make five changes to his usual starting XI, with players such as Alejandro Balde, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha all on the bench after a grueling schedule. This decision ultimately backfired and even Osasuna were surprised by the number of changes, as head coach Vicente Moreno revealed (via MD).

“I didn't expect this lineup from Flick, the truth is that I was surprised. But I understand that I had to change because Barcelona made a lot of successive efforts.”

Interestingly, Osasuna also made some key changes for the game against Barcelona, ​​although they brought regular players – including goalscorers Ante Budimir and Bryan Zaragoza – back into the lineup as they were rested during the midweek draw in Valencia. That definitely had an impact and it was good planning by Moreno.
