Osasuna Snags Barca in a Goalless Shock
Barça's 13-shot barrage ends goalless as Osasuna stands firm

Match context

Barcelona recorded a negative mark for the first time this season as they faced Osasuna on Saturday night in La Liga matchweek 15.

Barca ended the first half goalless.

Key moments and standings

According to Opta, Barcelona fired 13 shots in the first 45 minutes against Osasuna, the highest tally of the season in any half across all competitions without scoring.

Ferran Torres did score in the 23rd minute, but the goal was ruled out after a VAR review for an offside involving Rafinha in the build-up.

The decision kept the scoreboard blank and handed Barca a rare goalless half.

Barcelona extended their winning run in La Liga; they have won their last six league matches by at least a two-goal margin.

Barça sit top of La Liga on 40 points, four clear of Real Madrid, who face Deportivo Alavés in the same round tomorrow. Osasuna sit 16th with 15 points before tonight's match.

Punchline 1: If football scoring were a dating app, Barca would still be stuck on "it's not you, it's the aim."

Punchline 2: Osasuna's defense is so tight tonight that even the VAR needed a coffee break just to confirm the offside—talk about a precision finish!
