Three players will remember the 2-1 victory in Osasuna in particular because it was their Barça debuts. Iigo Martnez, Joo Félix, and Joo Cancelo all contributed to the victory in El Sadar.
Refusal on
Joo Cancelo replaced captain Sergi Roberto at left defender after 59 minutes, just two days after his loan to FC Barcelona was declared permanent.
He is accustomed to playing on the opposite side of the defense, despite being a right-sided defender by preference. Shortly after entering the game, he assisted Robert Lewandowski in what was almost a goal.
Joao Félix also enters.With 10 minutes remaining, Joo Félix replaced Oriol Romeu and moved to the left side of the midfield. He too began playing two days after the announcement of his loan from Atlético Madrid, just like his countryman and namesake.
In his 20 minutes on the field, he barely touched the ball, but it was obviously crucial to acclimate him to his new side.
Iigo Martnez as wellAnd Iigo Martnez replaced Andreas Christensen in a direct center back switch as the game entered what would be ten minutes of injury time.
