"Skipper Raphinha fired Barcelona seven points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the LaLiga table as they left it late to see off Osasuna. The Brazil international's 70th and 86th-minute strikes secured a 2-0 victory at the Camp Nou on a night when Hansi Flick's men controlled possession for much of the game, but for too long could not find a way past keeper Sergio Herrera and his defenders."
"Eric García sent a viciously-dipping 20th-minute effort just wide as normal service was resumed, and the leaders thought they had gone ahead in spectacular style three minutes later. Rashford clipped the ball over the Osasuna defence to pick out Torres' run and he beat Herrera with a deft header, only for his effort to be ruled out after a lengthy review because Raphinha was adjudged to be in an offside position during the buildup."
Raphinha scored in the 70th and 86th minutes to secure a 2-0 win for Barcelona at the Camp Nou, moving them seven points clear of Real Madrid. Barcelona controlled possession for much of the match but struggled to break down Osasuna's defence and Sergio Herrera produced several key saves, including from Lamine Yamal. A Marcus Rashford header was ruled out for offside in the buildup. Osasuna remained compact and threatened briefly through Ante Budimir and Víctor Muñoz, but Herrera could not prevent the late Raphinha strikes. The victory extended Barcelona's winning run to five matches in all competitions.
