FT: Osasuna 0-2 Barcelona
Confirmation of the La Liga table after Saturday's action.
Atletico Madrid can restore their five-point lead at the top of the table with victory over rivals Real on Sunday.
Osasuna 0-2 Barcelona
All over.
Barcelona close the gap on La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid to two points.
Osasuna 0-2 Barcelona
Three minutes of stoppage time to be played.
Osasuna 0-2 Barcelona
Junior Firpo goes straight into the referee's notebook following a late challenge.
A little too eager to impress, perhaps...
Osasuna 0-2 Barcelona
Osasuna have also made a double change. Roberto Torres and Lucas Torro depart, with Oier Sanjurjo and Enric Gallego entering the fray.
Osasuna 0-2 Barcelona
Another couple of changes for the visitors as Junior Firpo replaces Jordi Alba and Riqui Puig comes on for Pedri.
Ilaix Moriba
What a way to open your Barcelona account!
Messi tees up Ilaix Moriba, who cuts on to his left foot on the edge of the box before curling a sumptuous effort beyond Sergio Herrera and into the top corner.
Fabulous goal. Barcelona are surely heading for three points in Pamplona.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Lionel Messi has scored in each of his last eight La Liga matches.
He combines well with Martin Braithwaite and skips past a defender, but Sergio Herrera is equal to the Argentine's shot.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba nearly combine again.
The Argentine dinks a ball over the Osasuna defence for Alba to run on to, but goalkeeper Sergio Herrera is out quickly to thwart the full-back.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Ante Budimir almost dispossesses Clement Lenglet on the half-way line but the Frenchman manages to shrug off the substitute in the nick of time.
He's hurt himself in the process, mind. Doesn't seem to be anything too serious though.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Clement Lenglet is first to a loose ball on the edge of the Osasuna box but the defender's curling effort is straight at Sergio Herrera.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Lionel Messi, eat your heart out!
Ilaix Moriba plays a superb ball to Sergino Dest - similar to the one Messi made to set up Alba in the first half - but the full-back fails to sort his feet out and the ball rolls harmlessly out of play.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Budimir is already in the thick of the action.
The forward ghosts in between Clement Lenglet and Jordi Alba and goes down, but the referee is having none of it.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Now it's Osasuna's turn to make a double change.
Adrian Lopez and top scorer Ante Budimir enter the fray. Calleri and Ruben Garcia come off.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
That's the closest Osasuna have come to an equaliser in the second half.
Jonathan Calleri gets across his marker and directs a header towards goal, but it misses the target by inches.
That'll be Calleri's last action of the game...
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Ronald Koeman makes a double change.
Martin Braithwaite replaces Antoine Griezmann, while Ilaix Moriba comes on in place of Sergio Busquets.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Barcelona win a free-kick wide on the right-hand side after Jonathan Calleri's foul on Sergino Dest.
Lionel Messi fizzes in a dangerous ball that has Sergio Herrera scrambling across his goal, but it flies straight out of play.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
Martin Braithwaite is about to enter the fray for Barcelona.
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
The game is opening up a little now.
Lionel Messi feeds Ousmane Dembele, whose cross towards Antoine Griezmann at the far post is cleared to safety.
