Barcelona Edges Closer to La Liga Title with Osasuna Victory

Barcelona secured a vital 2-1 victory over Osasuna at the Estadio El Sadar during matchday 35 of the 2025/26 La Liga season. Under the officiating of referee Isidro Díaz de Mera and in front of 22,745 spectators, the encounter proved to be a grueling affair that remained tense until the final whistle.

The Catalan giants entered the match seeking three points to solidify their march toward the league title. However, they found themselves frustrated throughout the first half. Despite several attempts to break the deadlock, clinical finishing was missing, and both teams headed into the locker rooms with the scoreline still level at 0-0.

The stalemate persisted deep into the second half as both sides struggled to find the back of the net. The breakthrough finally arrived in the 81st minute when Robert Lewandowski clinical strike put Barcelona ahead. The visitors quickly doubled their advantage just five minutes later as Ferrán Torres found the net in the 86th minute, seemingly putting the game out of reach.

Osasuna refused to surrender, as Raúl Garcia pulled one back in the 88th minute to set up a frantic finish. Despite the late pressure from the home side, there was simply not enough time to complete the comeback, allowing Barcelona to escape with a narrow win.

This hard-fought victory cements Barcelona’s position at the summit of the table with 88 points, while Osasuna remains in 10th place with 42 points. The result effectively grants the Blaugrana a massive 14-point cushion over second-placed Real Madrid. Should Los Blancos fail to secure a win against Espanyol on Monday, May 4, Barcelona will be officially crowned the La Liga champions.
