Raphinha and Lamine Yamal celebrated each other's goals with a raised arm and hands linked as Barcelona won 2-0 at 10-man Villarreal on Sunday to stay four points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.
Raphinha won a penalty after being fouled when cutting inside. He took a slow run-up and sent goalkeeper Luiz Junior the wrong way in the 12th minute for his seventh league goal of the season and Barca's 50th.
Yamal also grabbed his seventh this season, striking from close range in the 63rd after being set up by midfielder Frenkie de Jong following a goalmouth scramble.
It was a seventh straight win in all competitions for coach Hansi Flick's side.
Barcelona was without central defender Andreas Christensen, who tore the ACL in his left knee in training on Saturday.
Villarreal defender Renato Veiga was shown a straight red card late in the first half for a heavy tackle from behind on Yamal, who briefly had treatment on the ground.
Villarreal's defeat allowed Atletico Madrid to move into third place with a 3-0 win at Girona, albeit having played two games more.
