European football: Raphinha sinks Osasuna to consolidate Barcelona’s lead

Real Madrid, who play on Sunday, now trail by seven points

Raphinha struck twice late in the second half as Barcelona secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory over a resolute Osasuna side, extending their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points. Hansi Flick’s men now sit on 43 points, comfortably clear of second-placed Real Madrid, who have a game in hand and play at Alavés on Sunday.

Despite their control of the game, Barcelona struggled to break down Osasuna’s deep defensive block until the 70th minute when Pedri’s incisive pass cut through the visitors’ defence, finding Raphinha in his stride. The Brazilian forward took a controlled touch before unleashing a thunderous strike from the edge of the area, the ball arrowing inside the left post to finally break the deadlock. Raphinha sealed the win in the 86th minute. A deflected cross from Jules Koundé on the right found the Brazilian unmarked at the far post, and he calmly volleyed the ball into an empty net, giving the scoreline a more comfortable look.

‘Truly wonderful’ – Flick congratulates La Masia after Barca win

Flick also offered some congratulations to the club’s famed La Masia academy after seeing a host of graduates star for his team in the game.

“Eric gives us stability, he had a fantastic game. Gerard has improved a lot. And I’ve already spoken about Cuba in the past. Playing at this level at 18 is incredible. I congratulate La Masia for what they’ve done with the young players. It’s truly wonderful,” he said.
