Barcelona lost 4-2 to Osasuna on Saturday in a match which saw Hansi Flick once again make key rotations only to see them backfire.
The Catalans fielded their youngest starting line-up in a La Liga match since 7 October 1995 (with an average age of 23 years and 292 days) but El Sadar simply wasn’t the place to do it.
Flick insisted before the game “we need to rotate” and he wasn’t wrong. Yet he made too many changes against a team that were unbeaten at home and possessed quality up front in the shape of Ante Budimir and Bryan Zaragoza.
