In a tense and tense La Liga match played at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Compagnies stadium, Barcelona managed a remarkable 2-1 victory over Alaves. The exciting match started with the score 0-1 in favour of Alaves, but Barcelona turned the tide in the second half and took all three points. At the start of the game, both teams showed their skill and determination in attack. Alaves scored a goal by S. Omorodion as early as the first minute of the game. Omorodion, which shook the defence of Barcelona. The first goal threw Barcelona off balance and allowed Alaves to make a perfect start to their campaign. In the second half, Barcelona took to the pitch revitalised, showing a hunger for a comeback. In the 53rd minute, they managed to equalise thanks to a great strike from R. Lewandowski.

However, just a few minutes later, in the 62nd minute, the Polish striker received a yellow card, which put Barcelona in danger of collapsing. Both teams made tactical substitutions in an attempt to gain possession in the match. In the 63rd minute, L. Rioja came on for Alaves instead of A. Rebbach, and F.

Omorodion in the 79th minute. J. Guridi was also introduced instead of I. Hagi, which should have given the attack a new impetus. In the 81st minute Barcelona made another substitution – Pedri was replaced by O. Romeu, and in the 85th minute Alaves was replaced by A. Blanco instead of T. Mendes. In a last ditch attempt to get back into the game, Alaves made one last substitution in the 85th minute, replacing A. Gorosabel with N. Tenaglia.
