‎Barcelona started the match on the front foot, with Ferran Torres going close on two occasions and Marcus Rashford seeing a penalty appeal waved away. Osasuna responded through Ante Budimir, who tested Joan Garcia, and Victor Munoz, whose pace unsettled the Barcelona back line. A first-half breakthrough appeared to arrive when Torres headed home Rashford’s cross, but the goal was disallowed for offside in the build-up.

‎

‎Chances continued at both ends before the break, as Torres narrowly missed with an overhead kick and Munoz fired just wide on the counter. Rashford forced a strong save from Sergio Herrera with a free-kick, followed by another opportunity denied by last-ditch defending. Osasuna’s resistance held firm until the 70th minute, when Raphinha unleashed a curling 20-yard strike into the corner to break the deadlock.

‎

‎Osasuna briefly thought they had equalised when Jorge Herrando turned the ball in late on, but the effort was ruled out for a foul on goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Raphinha then sealed the result from close range minutes later, ensuring the points stayed with the league leaders. Barcelona’s lead at the summit stands at seven points, with Real Madrid able to reduce the gap to four if they defeat Alaves.
