Barcelona’s nightmare week ended in more disappointment on Sunday as they conceded in the 86th minute to draw 2-2 away at struggling Osasuna. Instead, Chimy Avila drove into the corner to secure a draw for Osasuna that was as dramatic as it was deserved. “Our young players are the positive but in general it’s negative,” said Xavi afterwards. Barcelona struggled to regain their rhythm for the rest of the first half but reclaimed their lead early in the second. Osasuna wanted a penalty when Gavi’s clearance struck the hand of Sergio Busquets but nothing was given and Barca broke fast.
