Experienced Argentine striker Sergio Aguero scored the consolation goal for Barcelona.
Osasuna, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Robert Moreno's Granada in the league. A goal from Argentine forward Chimy Avila for Osasuna was cancelled out by a goal from veteran midfielder Angel Montoro for Granada. Osasuna had left-back Jose Angel sent off in the second-half.

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Prediction
Real Madrid won the El Clasico, as many expected them to. So far it has been smooth going for Carlo Ancelotti's men, who find themselves 2nd in the league table. Many see the Madrid clubs as the title contenders this season, and on current form Los Blancos seem likely to lift the trophy. However, there is a long way to go, and with Real Madrid nothing is ever certain.
Osasuna, on the other hand, are enjoying some good form themselves. They have won three of their last five league games. Midfielder Lucas Torro has done well, while more is expected from forward Chimy Avila.
Real Madrid will be the favourites to win this game.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Osasuna
