Catalans forward Lionel Messi scored two goals in the club's first La Liga win over Real Sociedad last week.
Barcelona continues La Liga play Sunday against goalless Osasuna at Estadio El Sadar at 1 p.m. EDT.
Last week, the Catalans started the season off with a 5-1 drubbing of Real Sociedad. After two goals in the first 10 minutes forced a 1-1 tie, Barcelona forward Lionel Messi scored two of his own in the 11th and 16th minutes and La Real never challenged again.
Forward Cristian Tello recorded two assists for the Catalans, and Spaniard David Villa made his return from injury and scored in the 84th minute.
Searching for their first goal of the season, Osasuna will try to avoid a second straight loss as they fell to Deportivo 2-0 last week. After a scoreless first half, Deportivo forward Riki netted in the 53rd minute, and Nelson Miguel Castro Oliveira added another goal in the 90th.
