Barcelona moved one point clear of rivals Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with a comfortable victory over bottom side Real Oviedo. Raphinha increased Barca's lead five minutes later with a dinked finish over Oviedo goalkeeper Aaron Escandell, pouncing on a mistake from David Costas. It was a 10th La Liga home win under boss Hansi Flick - last doing so in December 2019 under Ernesto Valverde (W14). But Barca stepped up their performance in the second period to maintain their slender advantage over Real, while Oviedo remain rooted to the bottom and eight points from safety. Attention for Flick's men now turns to Wednesday when they host Copenhagen (20:00 GMT) in the final game of the Champions League league phase as they aim to finish in the top eight and avoid the play-offs.
