- Osasuna suffered their sixth consecutive league defeat in Catalonia.
Raphinha was the decisive figure at the Camp Nou, netting twice in the 70th and 86th minutes to secure a vital 2-0 victory for Barcelona. The team dominated possession throughout the match but found it challenging to penetrate Osasuna's well-organized defense for much of the game.
Despite creating numerous chances and seeing a spectacular early header from Ferran Torres disallowed for offside, Barcelona couldn't find a breakthrough until the latter stages. Goalkeeper Sergio Herrera made several key saves, denying Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford, but ultimately could not prevent his team's defeat.
The win extended Barcelona's impressive run to five consecutive victories in all competitions, solidifying their position at the top of the league. Meanwhile, Osasuna endured their sixth successive league loss in Catalonia, continuing a difficult period for the club.
