Barcelona cruised to a convincing 3-0 win over Osasuna, with Ferran Torres opening the scoring with a stunning free-kick in the 11th minute. Dani Olmo doubled the lead from the penalty spot in the 21st minute, and Robert Lewandowski sealed the victory in the 77th minute after coming off the bench.
This result puts Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table with 63 points, three ahead of Real Madrid (60 points), while Atlético Madrid sits in third place with 56 points.
Iñaki Peña’s Decision to Leave Barcelona
Despite the positive momentum for the club, reports from El Nacional suggest that goalkeeper Iñaki Peña has decided to leave Barcelona this summer. Feeling his opportunities have diminished, Peña has communicated his desire to move on to coach Hansi Flick.
The young shot-stopper had a significant role earlier this season when Marc-André ter Stegen was sidelined with a knee injury, proving to be a reliable backup. However, with the potential arrival of Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, Peña has found himself pushed further down the pecking order. Initially, he believed he could challenge Ter Stegen for the starting spot, but the club’s decision to bring in Szczęsny has changed the situation.
Peña is determined to secure regular playing time elsewhere to continue his development. Barcelona understands his position and has begun searching for a club willing to offer him a key role. The Catalan side is reportedly looking for a transfer fee between €5 and €7 million, though it remains unclear whether Peña will leave permanently or on loan with an option to buy.
What is certain, however, is that Iñaki Peña will not be at Barcelona next season. With his desire for more minutes and Barcelona’s preference for a more experienced backup goalkeeper, a departure seems inevitable.
