If there is one thing we can take away from the 2-2 draw at El Sadar besides Ansu Fati’s incredible courage, and promising talent, it is that Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets and Arthur Melo should always be the men in charge to run Barca’s midfield. Against Osasuna, Ernesto Valverde resorted back to the same line-up that shred Real Betis to pieces in the second matchday of La Liga Santander, with hopes of that same story playing out again.
However, the first half which featured De Jong, Busquets and Sergi Roberto in the center was not as glamorous nor as productive as we would have liked it to be.
