Barcelona head into Saturday’s La Liga encounter against Deportivo Alavés having endured their first blip in the 2026–27 season.
La Blaugrana had gotten off to a record-equaling start to the La Liga campaign, but their momentum was disrupted by back-to-back Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in Europe before El Clásico.
Many suggested that Hansi Flick’s side had the chance to dash Real Madrid‘s title chances at an incredibly early juncture. Victory last weekend would’ve opened up a nine-point gap between the two, but José Mourinho returned to Camp Nou to haunt Barça. The hosts were poor and deservedly beaten, supplying life to the title race.
Successive defeats mean Flick’s side are in bounce-back mode, and a handy fixture awaits. Alavés’ seventh-place standing in La Liga would suggest that Barça are in for a tricky outing on home soil, but the visitors are desperately out of sorts.
Alavés are winless in six outings, with their last victory arriving on Sept. 6.
