Barcelona Close on LaLiga Title with Late Win at Osasuna
Late goals from Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres lifted Barcelona to 88 points and put them one Real Madrid slip away from the title.
- On Saturday, Barcelona moved to the brink of retaining the LaLiga title after a 2-1 victory at Osasuna, with late goals from Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres securing the win.
- During one of the season's toughest away fixtures, Osasuna pressed for European qualification, though Barcelona's goalkeeper denied Ruben Garcia in the 69th minute.
- Barca broke through in the 81st minute when Marcus Rashford crossed for Lewandowski to head in, and five minutes later, Fermin Lopez slipped Torres clear to finish past Sergio Herrera.
- Raul Garcia pulled a goal back two minutes later, but the rally fell short; "now put the pressure on Real Madrid; if they don't win tomorrow, we'll be crowned champions," Torres told DAZN.
- With four games remaining, Barcelona leads the table with 88 points, 14 clear of second-placed Real Madrid; should Madrid fail to win against Espanyol on Sunday, Barcelona secures its second successive LaLiga title.
