‎Barcelona has moved seven points clear at the top of La Liga with a narrow victory over Rayo Vallecano at Spotify Nou Camp.
‎Ronald Araujo headed home a Joao Cancelo corner to give the hosts the lead after 24 minutes on Sunday
‎However, they could have been behind in the first minute when Carlos Martin had a tap in from six yards, but goalkeeper Joan Garcia raced out to close down the angle.
‎After the break, Garcia produced a brilliant save to stop Unai Lopez’s close-range header from drawing Rayo level.
‎Pacha Espino curled a shot over the bar for Rayo in the 83rd minute as Barca clung on for a vital win.
‎Meanwhile, Real Madrid face rivals Atletico Madrid later on Sunday as they look to close the gap back to four points.
