La Liga: FC Barcelona moved to the brink of the La Liga title with a tense 2-1 win away to Osasuna.

The win means Barca are 14 points clear of Real Madrid, who travel to RCD Espanyol on Sunday. Should the Madrid fail to win that, Barca will be mathematically confirmed as champions. Should Madrid win, then Barca’s next chance to clinch the trophy will be next weekend, in nothing other than El Clasico.

After struggling to break down a disciplined home side, Barca finally struck in the 81st minute when Robert Lewandowski turned in a Marcus Rashford cross, and Ferran Torres sent in Fermin Lopez's through ball five minutes later.
