Barcelona came from 1-0 down to lead Osasuna 2-1 thanks partly to youngsters Carles Perez and Ansu Fati, but they did not see out the win.
Match Report
Ansu Fati became Barcelona's youngest LaLiga goalscorer as they came from behind but could only draw 2-2 with Osasuna in Saturday's clash at El Sadar.
The 16-year-old cancelled out Roberto Torres' opener just six minutes after coming off the bench, before fellow substitute Arthur buried a well-taken second goal for the defending league champions.
Torres sealed a point from the penalty spot after a Gerard Pique handball, though, with the result likely to add further pressure to Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde.
Valverde was again unable to call upon the injured Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez or Ousmane Dembele and left Ivan Rakitic on the bench.
Match Events
7' GOAL! Osasuna 1-0 Barcelona (Roberto Torres)
Torres is unmarked at the back post and hits a left-footed volley back across goal and well past Ter Stegen!
He hits it with such power, the keeper wasn't going to stop that!
45' NO PENALTY! Alba fouled in the box
Alba goes down in the box after a challenge from Nacho Vidal.
He's appealing for a penalty, but the referee waves play on. It doesn't look like there was much contact at all.
51' GOAL! Osasuna 1-1 Barcelona (Fati)
The 16-year-old scores his first goal for Barcelona! It's a nice goal as well, leaping in front of Nacho Vidal to guide Perez's cross into the bottom-left corner.
What a moment that is for the teenager - and what a big goal it could prove to be.
64' GOAL! Osasuna 1-2 Barcelona (Arthur)
It's supersub Arthur with a wonderful finish! He receives the ball with Osasuna defenders all around him, drops his shoulder, shifts the ball onto his right to create space and curls his effort into the far corner, well out of Ruben's reach.
81' Penalty Goal! Osasuna 2-2 Barcelona (Roberto Torres)
Pique handles Oier's cross in the box and the blows his whistle - it's being checked by VAR.
There was never any doubt really, but VAR checked nonetheless. It was a penalty under the new laws, Pique at fault.
Torres grabs a brace! He sends Ter Stegen the wrong way and slots his penalty into the bottom-right corner! Game on for the final few minutes!

This kid is magical, he is just 16 years old and he has put his name on the score sheet what a player, he is a great player and i think Barca should forget about neymar or Dembele, he has skills and pace.... I hope he becomes a great player on the future for Barca, he made the difference today alongside Arthur, what player, hope the manager gives him more opportunity, good luck ansu fati.

Facts:- 1. I don't like Valverde infact he has to leave but our Defence cost us this match, We should thank Valverde for bringing in Arthur and Fati because they changed the game, 2. De jong had an Okay game while Grizou was frustrated, 3. Bartomeu should have concentrated on defence instead of waiting for Neymar that he knew PSG won't sell, 4. Carles Perez should have scored or even passed, 5. Dembele should learn from Fati How to link up with players and not lose possession, 6. I pity for us if we don't do something about our Defence, 7. 70% possession didn't mean we played well but Osasuna took more shots and deserved to win the game... To end it, #BartomeuOUT #ValverdeOUT
