Barcelona defeated Osasuna 2-1 on May 2, 2026, at El Sadar in Pamplona. This victory puts them on the brink of securing their second consecutive La Liga title.
Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 81st minute. Ferran Torres followed with a second goal just five minutes later. Raul García scored a late goal for Osasuna in the 89th minute, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome.
As of midday, Barcelona stands 14 points clear of Real Madrid in the La Liga title race. They can clinch the title if Real Madrid fails to win against Espanyol.
Marcus Rashford, currently on loan from Manchester United, has contributed significantly this season with 13 goals and nine assists in 45 appearances for Barcelona.
However, Barcelona is reluctant to pay Rashford’s €30 million buyout clause. Meanwhile, Manchester United is reportedly exploring a swap deal involving Rashford to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan.
Hansi Flick coaches Barcelona, who will face Real Madrid next weekend in El Clásico. This match could further solidify their position as Spanish league champions.
