Barcelona may have just clinched the La Liga title in spectacular fashion against Real Madrid, but the champagne is already on ice—there's no time to celebrate. The Catalans are chasing history, needing three wins from their final three matches to reach a remarkable 100 points this season.
Standing in their way? A desperate Deportivo Alaves side fighting for survival. Currently languishing in the relegation zone, Quique Sanchez Flores' team needs points just as urgently as Barcelona craves milestones. And one of Alaves' most vocal leaders is making it clear: they won't go down without a fight.
"We will sweat blood against Barcelona," vowed defender Nahuel Tenaglia ahead of the Camp Nou clash. "I believe we can pull it off. We have to defend what's ours—our pride, our hard work, and our city."
The Argentine isn't just talking tough; he's laying out a battle plan. "We have to play our game, defend the shirt and the badge to the death. We need to give everything because that's the only way we have any chance of beating Barça," he said, acknowledging the need to disrupt Barcelona's rhythm and prevent them from dominating.
But Alaves faces a daunting challenge: they haven't kept a clean sheet in 20 matches. "That's something we've been trying to fix for weeks," Tenaglia admitted. Still, the defender remains defiant. Despite sitting in the drop zone, he insists the situation is in their hands. "We control our own destiny. If we win nine points from three games, we'll achieve our goal of staying up."
For Barcelona, the math is simple: three wins, 100 points, and a place in the history books. But Alaves is fighting for more than just points—they're fighting for pride, survival, and a chance to spoil the party. Expect fireworks at Camp Nou.
