KATHMANDU: FC Barcelona moved a step closer to the La Liga title after securing a dramatic 2-1 victory over CA Osasuna on Saturday.
The match remained goalless for most of the contest before Barcelona struck twice in the final 10 minutes to seal a crucial win.
In the 81st minute, Robert Lewandowski broke the deadlock with a powerful header from a cross delivered by Marcus Rashford. Moments later, Ferran Torres doubled Barcelona’s advantage after finishing off a pass from Fermín López.
Rubén García pulled one back for Osasuna in the 88th minute, but the visitors were unable to mount a comeback.
The victory marked Barcelona’s 10th consecutive win in La Liga, strengthening their grip at the top of the table as they edge closer to the league crown.
Barcelona can officially clinch the La Liga title next week if they avoid defeat against Real Madrid CF.
They could also be crowned champions sooner if Real Madrid fail to beat RCD Espanyol on Sunday.
