Rafinha saved Barcelona from a potential defeat against Osasuna, leading the Catalan club to a 2-0 victory in the 16th round of La Liga.
Osasuna held firm defensively until Rafinha finally broke the deadlock in the 70th minute.
The Brazilian star capitalized on a pass from Pedri just outside the penalty area, unleashing a powerful, unstoppable left-footed shot that nestled into Sergio Herrera’s net.

In the 86th minute, Rafinha extinguished any hopes of a comeback for the visitors, scoring his second goal after a poor clearance from an Osasuna defender. The ball fell to Rafinha in front of goal, and he easily slotted it home.
With this brace, Rafinha reached his sixth goal of the season for Barcelona in La Liga, and his ninth overall goal contribution (including three assists).
With this victory, Barcelona increased the gap between them and Real Madrid to 7 points until the Royal Club plays its decisive match against Alaves on Sunday.
