Late Jordi Alba Strike Takes Barcelona To Brink Of Title, Real Madrid Slip Up
Jordi Alba struck a late winner for Barcelona in a 1-0 win over 10-man Osasuna on Tuesday to move the Catalans a step closer to their first La Liga title since 2019. Xavi Hernandez's side climbed 14 points clear of second place Real Madrid, who lost 2-0 at Real Sociedad. "We're going to wait and see, but it's a giant step forward," said Xavi. We missed some very clear chances, the kind where you can just push it in. The Catalans failed to carve out many clear opportunities in the first half against their defensive opponents. Xavi brought on Ansu Fati after 35 minutes for Gavi, who appeared to take a knock, and the forward came close at the start of the second half but Fernandez denied him. Source: NDTV
