FC Barcelona secured a 2-0 victory over CA Osasuna at Camp Nou, extending their lead at the top of LaLiga to seven points. Raphinha scored a brace in the second half after a frustrating first period marked by a disallowed goal. This marks Barcelona's seventh consecutive league win under Hansi Flick.
FC Barcelona hosted CA Osasuna at Camp Nou on December 13, 2025, in a LaLiga match where the leaders aimed to widen their gap over Real Madrid. The game kicked off at 17:30 BST, with Barcelona making two changes from their midweek win over Eintracht Frankfurt: Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres started, replacing Fermin Lopez and Robert Lewandowski. Osasuna, sitting 16th in the table after a recent 2-0 win over Levante, fielded a side missing only Iker Benito due to a knee injury.
The first half was goalless and frustrating for Hansi Flick's team. Barcelona dominated possession but struggled to break down Osasuna's defense. Early chances included Ferran Torres prodding over from Lamine Yamal's inswinging delivery in the 15th minute. Osasuna threatened when Ante Budimir shot straight at Joan Garcia after swiveling in the area. Eric Garcia blasted narrowly wide for Barcelona, and on 23 minutes, Torres headed into the top corner from Rashford's chipped delivery, but the goal was disallowed for offside from a short corner buildup. Torres later fired an acrobatic effort wide after Yamal's footwork, leaving Flick agitated on the touchline.
After the break, the pattern continued with Barcelona pressing. A Rashford free-kick drew a save from Sergio Herrera, and an Osasuna counter saw Victor Munoz's shot brush the side netting. The breakthrough came on 70 minutes: Raphinha arrowed a left-footed strike into the bottom corner from outside the box after a sweeping move. With 10 minutes left, Herrera parried Yamal's curling effort, and in the 85th minute, Raphinha tapped home at the far post from Alejandro Catena's attempted clearance to seal the win.
Barcelona have now won their last five home LaLiga games against Osasuna without conceding, and this result moves them seven points clear at the summit, though they have played one more game than Real Madrid, who face Alaves next. Osasuna had scored 71% of their goals in the first half this season but couldn't capitalize here. Injuries sidelined Barcelona's Gavi, Dani Olmo, and Ronald Araujo.
