La Liga: Barcelona regain scoring touch with 4-0 win against Osasuna

It didn’t take long for Barcelona’s offense to regain its scoring touch.

After being held to a disappointing scoreless draw with Galatasaray in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Europa League, Barcelona scored three goals in under 30 minutes Sunday en route to an easy 4-0 victory over Osasuna in La Liga.

Ferran Torres found the net two times and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Riqui Puig added a goal each to keep Barca in third place. It has similar 51 points as Atletico Madrid but leads on the straight on the head-to-head tiebreaker. Barcelona also has a game in hand compared to the defending champions.

Barcelona had scored 14 goals in its last four games in all competitions before the 0-0 home draw against Galatasaray on Thursday.

“We didn’t do a good job the other day and we know it,” Torres said. “But today the team responded well. When you keep creating chances, the ball will keep going in.”

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, making his 600th appearance with the club, had a goal disallowed for offside in the 55th.
