The Catalans pushed themselves to the limit in their home clash against 9th-placed Spain.

Osasuna were down to ten men in the 27th minute when Jorge Herrando was shown a red card for a foul on Pedri.

In the first half, Xavi lost youngster Gavi, who was injured in the 36th minute and was replaced by Ansa Fati.

The second half saw pressure on the visitors’ goal, with Jong, Dembele and Lewandowski competing for misses, the latter also failing to convert due to offside.

The winning goal did not come until the 85th minute when Jordi Alba headed into the near corner after Lewandowski’s cross and Frankie de Jong’s well-timed strike.

Second-placed leaders Barcelona are 14 points ahead of Real Madrid ahead of their clash with Real Sociedad with five games to go.
