Barcelona continued their rampant domestic situation on Saturday, defeating Osasuna 2-0 away and entering La Liga leader Atlético Madrid within two points. Lionel Messi scored goals with Jody Alba and Junior Eleks Moriba.
Messi helped Barca lead for half an hour. He used a superb cross-country ball to give Osasuna's defense to Alba, who controlled the attack before shooting into the top of the net.
Then, when 18-year-old midfielder Electrolux Moriba scored in the 83rd minute, he lowered the ball and achieved confident results in the post outside the court, and scored his first goal for the club until his third appearance.

We just need to continue to win. This is not our best performance, but we play well, and we deserve to win," Barcelona coach Ronald Coman said.
We have a lot of energy. We were tired, but we performed professionally and scored two good goals. I'm glad that this is a very important running, and I hope we can continue along this road.
It may still feel the impact of a 3-0 victory over Sevilla after extra time. It took Barcelona a while to settle down, almost behind in the second minute. They survived three impressive saves by Mark-André Ter Steigen.
The German had to take a step back to prevent Jonathan Carari of Osasuna from making a bold attempt to score from his own half. He also made a truly excellent save, denying Kirk Balja at the end of the first quarter. He flew to the upper right corner, raised his left hand and removed the racket.
With Barcelona leading in the vicious blow of Alba, Ter Steagan rescued the visiting team for the third time, repulsing midfielder Ruben GarcÃa from close range.
Barcelona will end on Wednesday, when they will try to reverse the 4-1 deficit of the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain in 16 rounds.
We must rest now and prepare for the game. I don't want to say that it's impossible. we'll go there to try to get good results," Coman added.
At the same time, Osasuna, who is in thirteenth place due to losing the game, will host Valladolid in La Liga next Saturday.
