Christensen for Piqué, the only novelty for Barça to face Osasuna before the break

Barcelona says goodbye to the League in El Sadar before the break for the World Cup in Qatar with an eleven full of World Cup players and with only one change compared to the starting team in the Blaugrana victory against Almería. The azulgrana face fifth in the table one day after Real Madrid gave them the leadership of the League.

Gerard Piqué, who said goodbye to the Camp Nou fans on Saturday, but who has traveled to Pamplona, ​​will not play at the start. His place will be occupied by the Danish Christensen who will play alongside Marcos Alonso in the axis of defence. The international with Denmark, recovered from his discomfort, was the change of Gerard Piqué at the Camp Nou. He played the last 20 minutes.

There are no more changes in the rest of the rows. With Ter Stegen in goal, they repeat on the wings Balde on the right and Jordi Alba on the left. In the center of the field, Busquets, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong will form again and in attack Xavi bets again on Lewandowski of nine, Dembélé on the far right and Ferran Torres on the left.

Oncel of Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Balde, Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri; Dembélé, Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.

Barcelona arrives at the meeting in Pamplona, ​​leader of the First Division, after Real Madrid's defeat against Rayo Vallecano. Xavi's men are worth a draw or a victory to go to the World Cup commanding the table.

Xavi Hernández's men will seek their fifth consecutive victory against a strong Osasuna that is in European positions. The Arrasate team comes out with an eleven without World Cup players. Budimir, who is on the pre-list for Croatia, and Abde, who Morocco hopes to be able to count on when he recovers from his discomfort, will not be there. In any case, as happened with Nico González, Barça included the so-called 'fear clause' in the transfer of the winger, so this course will not face Barça.

Osasuna's eleven: Aitor Fernández; Nacho Vidal, Unai García, David García, Juan Cruz; Nougat, Moncayola; Moi Gómez, Aimar Oroz, Rubén García and Chimy Ávila. N
