Barcelona may have already wrapped up the La Liga title, but their quest to reach the coveted 100-point mark is now hanging in the balance after a stunning first-half blow from Alaves at Mendizorroza.

Hansi Flick rang the changes for this trip to Vitoria, handing starts to Wojciech Szczesny, Alejandro Balde, Marc Bernal, and Marc Casado. With key players like Eric Garcia and Pedri missing from the lineup, the Catalans have felt the ripple effects, though they've still managed to hold their own in a competitive opening 45 minutes.

But for Alaves, this match carries far more weight. A victory here would be a massive boost to their survival hopes in La Liga, and they've delivered on that urgency. Just before halftime, Ibrahim Diabate rose to meet a corner, volleying home to give his side a lead that, as things stand, lifts them out of the relegation zone. Barcelona's pursuit of 100 points may now face its toughest test yet.
