Raphinha scored twice in the second half to help Barcelona beat Osasuna and move seven points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.
Barcelona dominated the match but struggled to break down a defensive Osasuna side, creating plenty of chances without scoring for much of the game. The breakthrough finally came in the 70th minute when Raphinha fired a low shot into the corner from just outside the box.
He then sealed the win late on with a simple tap-in after a deflected cross fell his way. Barcelona could have scored earlier, but a Ferran Torres goal was ruled out by VAR for offside, and other chances went begging.
The win continues Barcelona’s strong run of form, with seven straight league victories turning a five-point gap behind Real Madrid into a seven-point lead. Real Madrid can cut that gap slightly if they win their next match.
