Lewandowski Starts in Pamplona as Barcelona Vs Osasuna Turns on Lineup Choices
Robert Lewandowski started for Barcelona in barcelona vs osasuna on 2 May in Pamplona, a lineup call that put him in the first XI for a match tied to one more victory toward the title. Barcelona also started Eric García as it lined up with 11 players against Osasuna.
Lewandowski and Eric García
Lewandowski was the notable addition in Barcelona's starting eleven. He joined Joan García, Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Canceló, Pedri, Gavi, Olmo, Bardghji, Fermín and Eric García in the lineup.
Barcelona's selection leaned on a familiar spine with Pedri, Gavi and Olmo in midfield and Lewandowski up front. The opening choice pointed straight at the club's push for one more victory toward the title, with no margin for a slow start in Pamplona.
Osasuna's Two Changes
Osasuna made two changes to its starting team. Raúl Moro came in for Víctor Muñoz after Muñoz was injured against Sevilla, and Moi Gómez replaced Aimar Oroz.
The rest of Osasuna's XI was Sergio Herrera, Rosier, Boyomo, Catena, Galán, Moncayola, Torró, Rubén García and Budimir. That left both sides with clear lineup decisions before the first whistle, but Barcelona's choice to start Lewandowski carried the sharper edge for a team still chasing the title.
For Barcelona, the main takeaway was simple: Lewandowski was in from the start, and the club went into Pamplona with its strongest attacking option on the field while chasing the result that would move it closer to the championship.
