JAKARTA - Forward Raphinha scored a brace that led Barcelona to a 2-0 win over Osasuna in a Spanish LaLiga match at Camp Nou, Sunday, December 14, 2025 WIB early morning. The victory further cemented Barca at the top of the standings and they are seven points ahead of arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Barca experienced a deadlock after Ferran Torres' goal was ruled out. Torres, who replaced Robert Lewandowski, managed to break Osasuna's goal after receiving a cross from Marcus Rashford in the 23rd minute. Only that goal was ruled out because Torres was in an offside position.
Previously, Barca dominated through the offensive game. In the early minutes, Torres also threatened the visiting team's goal when he received a cross from Lamine Yamal.
Only Torres' header, which scored a hat-trick as Barca won 5-3 over Real Betis, still soared above the goal line.
Then it was Yamal's turn to threaten Osasuna's defense. But his attacks always failed. Osasuna's solid defense made the young star of the Spanish national team frustrated.
On the other hand, Osasuna also got the opportunity to put pressure on goalkeeper Joan Garcia. However, two good opportunities from striker Ante Budimir could still be thwarted by Garcia so that the score remained 0-0.
In the second half, Barca continued to dominate. However, Hansi Flick's team's efforts did not bear fruit. Rashford actually had the opportunity to bring the Blaugrana ahead when he got a free kick outside the penalty box. However, goalkeeper Sergio Herrera was able to secure the ball from Rashford.
After many failed attempts, Raphinha finally broke the deadlock by breaking Osasuna's goal in the 70th minute. The goal started with Pedri's action who made a penetration and then passed the ball to Raphinha. The Brazilian national team forward executed it with a shot to the bottom corner of the goal.
The 1-0 lead gave the Barca players the courage to recover. They returned to pressure the opponent's defense. This time the home team's efforts paid off when Raphinha scored a brace in the 86th minute.
He took advantage of the opportunity when opponent Alejandro Catena blocked a cross from Jules Kounde. The ball then went to Raphinha who then fired into the goal.
The goal that changed the score to 2-0 for Barca and lasted until the end of the match. "This victory is very important because we are facing an opponent who has a very good game organization. It must be admitted that it is difficult to get opportunities in this game. We have to be patient and really excel in ball possession, we finally scored a goal," said defender Gerard Martin.
"The success of the clean sheet shows that the team is stable and then the goal will come," said Martin again.
The victory over Osasuna makes Barca even stronger at the top with 43 points. Seven points ahead of Madrid who are in second place.
Meanwhile, Osasuna is stuck in the bottom half. They are ranked 16th with 15 points.
That point is the same as Girona, which is in the relegation zone. Only, Osasuna is still ahead of the goal difference so it hasn't entered the red zone.
