The sun still shines on Barcelona thanks to Gavi, Nico and Abde

Those who are of the glass half empty persuasion will have looked at the 2-2 draw against Osasuna and concluded that it’s two more points dropped.

That Xavi has overseen the worst start of any Barca manager since 1987 when Luis Aragones was in charge.

Whilst that’s all true of course, it would be wholly inappropriate to frame the performance at El Sadar in such a way as for it to be a major disappointment.

There was so much more to the 90 minutes from Barca’s point of view than some poor marking at a corner and a half-hearted attempt at a clearance which both led to goals.
