Even with the La Liga trophy already secured and gleaming in the cabinet, the Barcelona dressing room was far from a happy place after their latest outing. A narrow 0-1 defeat to Alaves not only stung but also dashed their hopes of hitting the coveted 100-point mark for the season.

Midfielder Dani Olmo didn't hold back his frustration, admitting the squad was deeply disappointed to fall short of one of their final objectives. "We're not happy with this match," Olmo confessed. "We tried, but it wasn't to be. The lack of concentration in the final minute of the first half was the only way they could have caught us out. We gave it our best shot, but we're not happy."

For many teams, a title already in hand might soften the blow of a defeat, but Olmo made it clear that wasn't the case here. The players were still laser-focused on reaching the symbolic 100-point barrier—a testament to their relentless drive. "It's not an excuse," he stressed. "We had another clear objective, which was to win everything right to the end to reach 100 points. I wanted it and so did the team, but in the end it wasn't to be. Now we want to win the two remaining matches."

With the season winding down, Barcelona's attention now shifts to their final home fixture against Real Betis. Olmo promised the team would push hard to give the fans a memorable send-off. "Absolutely. It's another goal we want to achieve and celebrate the last home game with a win."

While the defeat cast a shadow, the night still had a silver lining for young defender Alvaro Cortes. The academy graduate made his first-team debut for Barcelona, a moment that brought raw emotion to the fore. In a season defined by highs and lows, Cortes' debut served as a reminder of the club's enduring pipeline of talent—and a glimpse of what's next for the Blaugrana faithful.
