On May 2, 2026, Robert Lewandowski scored the opening goal for Barcelona in the 81st minute against Osasuna, securing a vital victory that places them on the verge of winning the La Liga title.

The match unfolded at El Sadar Stadium, where Barcelona initially struggled to break through Osasuna’s defense. However, Lewandowski’s late header, assisted by Marcus Rashford’s precise cross, shifted the momentum in favor of the Catalan side.

Just five minutes after Lewandowski’s goal, Ferran Torres added a second for Barcelona, solidifying their lead. Despite a late goal from Raúl García for Osasuna in the 89th minute, Barcelona held on for a 2-1 victory.

This win marked Barcelona’s 10th consecutive league win, demonstrating their dominance in La Liga this season. They now sit 14 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid.

Ferran Torres commented on the victory, stating, “We’ve put the pressure on Madrid because tomorrow, if they don’t win, then we really will be champions.” His words reflect the significance of this match and its implications for the title race.

Barcelona is now poised to claim their second consecutive La Liga title. If Real Madrid drops points against Espanyol in their upcoming match, Barcelona will be crowned champions.

Hansi Flick expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, calling it “a huge victory for us.” This sentiment echoes throughout the squad as they approach critical fixtures ahead.

The next challenge for Barcelona will be against Real Madrid on May 10. This match could serve as a decisive moment in their quest for another league title.
