On that note, here's a look at five talking points from the game:

#5 Ricard Puig had an impactful appearance

Riqui Puig came on for Pedri in the 73rd minute of the game. Although minutes are hard to come by for him, he took this opportunity to showcase his talent. In the limited amount of time he had, Puig won three duels, one tackle, made two recoveries, completed one dribble, and 26 passes with an accuracy of 90%.

Moreover, he scored Barcelona's fourth goal of the night. His initial shot from the edge of the box was saved by Sergio Herrera but the 22-year-old collected the ball on the followup. He beat two defenders in the box before coolly slotting the ball into the back of the net.

#4 Ferran Torres overcomes his finishing woes

Ferran Torres had a great game against Osasuna. His finishing has let him down on many occasions and he was under scrutiny for the same but not against Osasuna. Torres scored Barcelona's opening goal of the night from the penalty spot.

After gaining some much-needed confidence, he doubled his side's lead just minutes later. Dembele played a wonderful through ball for Torres, which was comfortably tucked in by the Spaniard.
