I don\u2019t know how many points we need to win La Liga, but we have four games left, and we have to win them all,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Difficulty against Osasuna<\/p>\n<p>The forward also reflected on how difficult the match was, especially in the early stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona struggled to break through in the first half, but showed clear improvement after the break.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore the match, we talked about how it\u2019s not easy to win here. It\u2019s not an easy ground. In the first half, we played very slowly, a bit too much on the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t get into the box to cross, but in the second half we were a bit better and in the end we have three points,\u201d Lewandowski added.<\/p>\n<p>His goal came from sharp awareness inside the box, and he was quick to credit his teammate Marcus Rashford for the assist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw the line was a bit broken\u201d, he said, before adding, \u201cI saw that Marcus had space to cross.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ca-osasuna-v-fc-barcelona-laliga-ea-sports-3-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"Ferran Torres, Barcelona player\" class=\"wp-image-198610\"  \/>Ferran Torres scored the winning goal for Barcelona.

It would also be lovely to celebrate with the fans in the city. Until we win the league, it\u2019s best not to talk about it,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Ferran Torres takes the stage<\/p>\n<p>Off the bench, Ferran Torres played a key role in sealing the win, scoring the second goal that ultimately made the difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the match, he highlighted just how important this victory could be in the title race.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to be champions as soon as possible, so we can enjoy it sooner,\u201d he said, before adding,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they don\u2019t win, we\u2019ll be crowned champions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think today was one of the toughest away games in La Liga, where we knew that the three points here were worth more than just three points, and I think the team played a brilliant game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, he reinforced the team\u2019s collective mindset, stressing that the job is nearly done but not complete.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew it was one of the toughest matches of the season; this is a very difficult ground. We\u2019ve done our job, and done it very well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we just have to wait until tomorrow to see what Madrid do, and hopefully we can be champions,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundodeportivo.com\/futbol\/fc-barcelona\/20260503\/1004178244\/lewandowski-queremos-100-puntos.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mundo Deportivo<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona are now on the brink of the La Liga title after a gritty 2-1 win over Osasuna,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16073,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,222,223,934,935],"class_list":{"0":"post-16072","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-barcelona","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-barcelona-news","10":"tag-fc-barcelona","11":"tag-ferran-torres","12":"tag-robert-lewandowski"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
