Barcelona’s late goals against Osasuna on May 2, 2026 put them on the brink of securing their second consecutive La Liga title. In a thrilling match at El Sadar, Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres scored in the final minutes, sealing a 2-1 victory for the Catalans.
The match unfolded dramatically. Lewandowski netted the first goal in the 81st minute, followed by Torres just five minutes later.
