JAKARTA - Barcelona star Pedri did not want to find a reason after the Catalan club gave up 2-4 at Osasuna's home in the Spanish League on Sunday, September 29 in the morning WIB.

La Blaugrana, nicknamed Barcelona, performed outstanding by picking up seven consecutive wins at the start of the Spanish League this season. However, the maximum series of results was stopped at El Sadar Stadium, Osasuna's home.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick's decision to rest and rotate players gets attention ahead of the match, without any changes during the break. Even though at that time the visitors were 0-2 behind during the break.

The second half failed to make Barcelona equal again despite scoring goals through Pau Vitor and Lamine Yamal.

Pedri, who was asked about Flick's decision to rest the players and the situation faced by his teammates, rejected any easy solutions related to the final result.

"Usually there are rotations, a lot of matches, but that's not an excuse. We have to go out with 11 focuses. The results in the second half punished us," he was quoted as saying by Diario AS.

"Obviously there was a foul on Pau Vmintor ahead of their second goal. There was a penalty on Lamine Yamal that was clear. Against Rayo, they took one goal from us, but again that's not an excuse," said the 21-year-old.

Flick fielded the 3-4-3 formation in this away match. He fielded Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, and Pau Victor in the front row. They were supported by trio Pablo Torres, Eric Garcia, and Pedri in midfield.

The back row is escorted by Jules Kunde, Sergi Domingues, Pau Cubarsi, and Gerard Martin. They escorted goalkeeper Inaki Pena.

Barcelona will take action again in the Champions League. They will host Young Boys on October 1, 2024.
