    54'
    Barcelona have actually started this second half rather sluggishly. Their passing has slowed down and Osasuna are looking more and more organised at the back.
    53'
    I just wonder if fatigue might be factor for Barcelona in this second half. Remember, they were playing in the Champions League during the week. Might that have an impact?
    52'
    That was very nearly one of the goals of the season. Leon had Ter Stegen completely beaten, but he couldn't beat the woodwork. That was a warning to Barcelona. This game is alive.

    OSASUNA HIT THE BAR! That was a sensational piece of play. Leon accelerated past two Barca players on the break, then attempts a long range chip. He is denied only by the bar!
    50'
    Osasuna have started this half better than they started the first. They are pressing higher up the pitch, but the issue is that they are being passed around by Barcelona.
    49'
    While Barcelona had a number of clear goalscoring opportunities in the first half they managed only three shots on target. So that's somewhere they can certainly improve.
    48'
    Barcelona were utterly dominant in the first half, but simply couldn't find the net. They mustn't be so wasteful in front of goal in this half. They can't lose more ground on Real Madrid.

    This is an enforced change for the home side. Injury sees Garcia introduced for the start of the second half.

    What did you make of the first half? Do Barcelona deserve to be in the lead after the pressure they have had? Does Lucho need to make a change? Tweet me your thoughts!
    End of 1st Half
    45'
    HALF TIME: Osasuna 0-0 Barcelona. The Catalans have been utterly dominant, but somehow they go into the interval level. The away side have been extremely wasteful with their chances.
    44'
    Iniesta has been exceptional in this half. Barcelona have missed him so much over the past few weeks. That was obvious in the Clasico, when they improved when he came on in the second half.
    43'
    42'
    Osasuna are making a lot of last ditch interventions. They are doing a decent job of winning the ball from Barcelona, but they are so poor at keeping hold of it.
    41'
    Osasuna are unashamedly holding on for the half time break. Barcelona are camped inside the opposition half, pressing and probing for the opener they probably should have by now.

    JUST WIDE! That wasn't far away from the opener. Iniesta struck a half volley from the edge of the box with the outside of the boot, but the effort flashed inches wide of the post.
    39'
    This is the damage on Alba from that foul a few minutes ago.
    38'
    De Las Cuevas had so much space at the back post when the cross into the Barcelona box found him. His control was good, but could he have taken the shot on himself? On the volley?
    37'
    That opportunity for Osasuna just illustrated how even when Barcelona are well on top they can be vulnerable at the back. That will give the home side some encouragement.
