										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barcelona secured a <strong>2-1 victory</strong> against Osasuna on May 2, 2026, with two late goals that put them on the brink of winning their second consecutive La Liga title. Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 81st minute, followed by Ferran Torres five minutes later. Raul García scored a consolation goal for Osasuna in the 89th minute.</p>
<p>With this win, Barcelona is now <strong>14 points clear</strong> of Real Madrid in the La Liga title race. They can clinch the championship if Real Madrid fails to win their next match against Espanyol. This potential outcome underscores Barcelona&#8217;s dominance in the current season.</p>
<p><strong>Key contributions:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Robert Lewandowski scored his goal in the 81st minute.</li>
<li>Ferran Torres added a second goal just five minutes later.</li>
<li>Raul García&#8217;s late goal for Osasuna was not enough to change the outcome.</li>
</ul>
<p>Barcelona&#8217;s Marcus Rashford, currently on loan from Manchester United, has made significant contributions this season. He has recorded <strong>13 goals and nine assists</strong> in <strong>45 appearances</strong>. However, Barcelona is hesitant to activate his €30 million buyout clause as they explore other options in the transfer market.</p>
<p>The upcoming match against Real Madrid in <strong>El Clásico</strong> will be crucial. Hansi Flick, the coach of Barcelona, will aim to maintain momentum as they approach this significant fixture. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this rivalry unfolds.</p>
<p><strong>Reactions:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The victory means Barcelona are now 14 points clear of Real Madrid in the La Liga title race.</li>
<li>A source noted that &#8220;Barcelona can seal title with helping hand from Espanyol.&#8221; </li>
<li>Florian Plettenberg mentioned that &#8220;Understand Barcelona are pushing for a second loan for Marcus Rashford.&#8221; </li>
</ul>
<p>This strong performance solidifies Barcelona&#8217;s position as favorites to reclaim their title as Spanish league champions. With only a few matches left in the season, every point matters as they look to secure another trophy.</p>
