Raphinha's Late Double Powers Barcelona to 2-0 Win Over Resilient Osasuna

Barcelona secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Osasuna at the Camp Nou on December 13, 2025, with Brazilian winger Raphinha scoring both goals in the second half to extend their lead at the top of La Liga.

Hansi Flick's side dominated possession from the outset, with Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford prominent early on, but Osasuna's deep defensive block and goalkeeper Herrera's superb saves kept the scoreline level at halftime. Herrera denied Lamine Yamal twice around the break and also stopped a Rashford free-kick shortly after the restart.[1][3]

Osasuna had chances of their own, with Ante Budimir testing Barcelona keeper Joan García and Víctor Muñoz missing a clear opportunity after a Pedri error. Despite the pressure, the visitors held firm until the 70th minute when Pedri's precise pass found Raphinha, who drilled a thunderous shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.[1][3]

Raphinha sealed the win in the 86th minute, tapping home at the far post after Jules Koundé's cross was deflected, giving Barcelona a fifth straight win across all competitions since their Champions League loss to Chelsea.[1][3]

This result moves Barcelona to 43 points from 17 games, seven points clear of Real Madrid, who have a game in hand against Alaves. Osasuna suffered their sixth successive league defeat in Catalonia without scoring.[1][2][3]

For fans in India, this win strengthens Barcelona's position in the La Liga title race, with Raphinha's form proving crucial in their unbeaten run.
