Barcelona have secured a crucial victory over Osasuna in their bid to remain competitive in the La Liga title race.
The hosts clinched a narrow 1-0 win at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
In their first match following Xavi Hernandez's announcement of his departure as head coach at the end of the season, Barcelona faced Osasuna in a tightly contested encounter.
The first half at Montjuic saw both teams evenly matched, with neither side able to create clear scoring opportunities. While Barcelona dominated possession, they struggled to convert it into significant chances. However, their momentum took a hit early on as Ferran Torres was sidelined due to a muscular injury.
Despite the setback, Barcelona managed to break the deadlock in the second half. Vitor Roque, a Brazilian teenager, seized the moment by scoring his debut goal for the club. Roque's decisive header, off an excellent cross from Joao Cancelo, proved to be the match-winner, securing three crucial points for Barcelona.
