Barcelona breezed past Osasuna in a 2-0 win at home on Thursday, ensuring they would have a three-point lead in La Liga's title race ahead of another pivotal weekend in a tightly-contested race for first place.

There has been some bubbling tension between Barcelona's Hansi Flick and his Real Madrid counterpart Carlo Ancelotti.

Referee Mateo Busquets Ferrer has come under scrutiny following a controversial moment during the rescheduled La Liga match between FC Barcelona and Osasuna.

The last time Barcelona and Girona met was on Sept. 15 during a La Liga game won 4-1 by FC Barcelona at the Estadi Montilivi in Girona, when Lamine Yamal's brace, Dani Olmo and Raphinha goals gave Flick's side the three points while Cristhian Stuani scored the only goal of the home team.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick believes Dani Olmo's injury put a massive cloud over Barcelona's 3-0 victory against CA Osasuna.
