BARCELONA: Undefeated since late December, Barcelona extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 19 games with an easy 3-0 win over visitors Osasuna on Thursday which moved them three points clear at the top of the LaLiga.
Manager Hansi Flick praised his team’s focus in what he called a flawless display with several changes to the starting side due to injuries to players returning from international duty in a match postponed on March 8 due to the death of Barca club doctor Carles Minarro Garcia.
Barcelona scored two early goals through Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo, and managed their lead efficiently before Robert Lewandowski closed out the win in the second half.
“We are going through a great moment and I proud of team, they way they are facing every game with the same commitment,” Flick told reporters.
“There are 10 games to go and we are three points clear on top so that’s good and we have to keep going with the same attitude.
“The situation was not easy, having to play today was not ideal and it cost us as Olmo got injured. It made the win have a bitter taste.” (Reuters)
