"When we were at our best, the goal came on the counter. You have to be more tactical. They shouldn't catch you [off guard] on the counter," Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said as he reacted to the defeat to Betis.
"We knew about their transitions. We had a few good minutes. It is too harsh a punishment for the game we have played. It is a defeat that hurts. At home. We were in good form, but that's how football is.
"We have to dominate the games more. We have to stop counters. These are situations that we have to control. It has been unfair. This is the Barcelona we want, but we have to improve. We have to be tactically smarter."
The last meeting between Osasuna and Barcelona in the league was on 6 March 2021.
Barcelona secured a 2-0 victory over Osasuna in a match which was played at Estadio El Sadar which was previously known as the Reyno de Navarra.
