As the clock ticked towards the 81st minute, Lewandowski found himself in the right place at the right time. A precise cross from Marcus Rashford met his head perfectly, sending the ball into the net. Just five minutes later, Ferran Torres added another goal for Barcelona. “It is a huge victory for us,” said Hansi Flick, Barcelona’s coach.

Despite a late goal from Raúl García in the 89th minute for Osasuna, Barcelona held on to their lead. This match marked an impressive milestone — their 10th consecutive league win. With this victory, they moved 14 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid.

Ferran Torres echoed the sentiment of his coach: “We’ve put the pressure on Madrid because tomorrow, if they don’t win, then we really will be champions.” The stakes were high as Barcelona aimed for their second consecutive La Liga title.

The upcoming match against Real Madrid on May 10 could seal their fate. If Real Madrid drops points against Espanyol before that clash, Barcelona will be crowned champions without even needing to play. “For me I just want to be champions as soon as possible,” Torres added.

This season has been remarkable for Barcelona under Hansi Flick’s guidance. The team not only showcased resilience but also tactical brilliance on tough grounds like El Sadar — one of the toughest venues in La Liga. With every match, they inch closer to adding another title to their storied history.
