The Polish striker got sent off for the first time in a decade, the Blaugrana were trailing 1-0, but still managed to win
As a long clearance bounced into the Osasuna half, the already booked Robert Lewandowski jumped into the opponent without looking at the ball and was booked again. That was his only third red card in his career, the first one in the last ten years.
At that moment, it looked tricky for Barcelona, as they were already one goal down and - from that moment - with ten men on the pitch.

However, they managed to overcome those substantial obstacles and get a grip in the second half - they looked more intelligent and more capable of rising to the occasion. Just three minutes in, Pedri fired a loose ball in past two defenders on the line and the goalkeeper.
With five minutes remaining, Frenkie de Jong flighted an excellent ball for Raphinha, who lobbed a header over the goalkeeper for a massive win and the comfortable first place at the LaLiga table.
