Barcelona Edge Closer to La Liga Title: Late Goals Sink Osasuna 2-1

The match remained goalless until the 80th minute. Despair was growing in the gallery due to the fear of a draw. Losing points would mean a longer wait for the title. However, since the team is Barcelona, waiting for the final moments is natural. That is exactly what happened last night at Osasuna’s home ground. With two goals in a five-minute gap, Barcelona won the match and moved closer to the title, defeating Osasuna by a 2-1 margin. In an otherwise dull match, Barcelona came to life in the 81st minute with a goal by Robert Lewandowski. In the 86th minute, Ferran Torres doubled the lead. Although Raul Garcia pulled one goal back in the 88th minute, it could not stop Barcelona’s hard-fought victory.
Barcelona 88 points from 34 matches. Real Madrid 74 points from 33 matches. The gap between the two teams is 14 points. A loss or draw for Real Madrid in their next match would confirm the title for Barcelona with 4 matches to spare. Otherwise, they will have to wait for the result of the El Clásico match on May 10.
