After three straight wins in all competitions, Barcelona headed to Osasuna knowing a win would move them to within Atletico, who would have two games in hand.
Marc-André ter Stegen made a great save early on to deny Osasuna before Jordi Alba made it 1-0 for Barcelona after a lovely pass from Lionel Messi.
Eventually, in the second-half, Ilaix Moriba made it 2-0 to seal the win for Barcelona, which keeps them in the title race. Atletico face Real Madrid on Sunday.
Frenkie de Jong played the full ninety minutes and had a steady game in the midfield, completing 90% of his passes.
