Messi hits the post
The second half was a lesson in control by FC Barcelona. With the game won, Barca kept Osasuna at arms length whilst still creating some magical football of their own. If the first half was all about Samuel Eto'o, the second was about new boy, Lilian Thuram. The French centre-back was a rock at the heart of the defence and, with Zambrotta and Marquez looking equally solid, the defensive performance was highly encouraging for the new season.
The best chance of the second half came in the 60th minute. Argentine wonderkid, Leo Messi, played a neat one-two with Xavi Hernández before racing into the area. As Ricardo bared down on him, the young winger slid the ball past him only for the right post to deny what would have been a delightful goal.
