Raphinha Brace Sends Barcelona Past Osasuna to Open Seven-Point LaLiga Lead

The Brazilian's late double sustained Barcelona's momentum with Real Madrid still holding a game in hand.

Overview

  • Raphinha struck in the 70th minute and again late on to secure a 2-0 win at the Spotify Camp Nou.
  • Barcelona controlled the match with roughly 80% possession and about 24 shots against Osasuna’s compact five-man defense and standout goalkeeper Sergio Herrera.
  • A Ferran Torres header was overturned after a lengthy VAR review for a marginal offside in the buildup.
  • The result marked Barcelona’s seventh straight league victory and their first clean sheet in six matches across all competitions.
  • The team’s scoring run reached 37 consecutive games, matching the club’s second-best streak, as they moved seven points clear of Real Madrid, who have a game in hand.
