SECOND HALF KICKOFF! Alavés 0-3 Barcelona: Back underway in Vitoria-Gasteiz!

HALFTIME, Alavés 0-3 Barcelona: Barça take a deserved three-goal lead into the break after a great first half performance, with almost complete control from start to finish and an inspired half by Lewandowski and Raphinha. The win is pretty much secured, but Alavés won’t go away quietly at home and there’s still work to be done to complete the job in the second half.

45 +1’ GOAL DISALLOWED: Toni Martínez scores a header for Alavés just before halftime, but the goal is disallowed for offside earlier in the buildup.

32’ GOAL!!!!! Alavés 0-3 Barcelona (Lewandowski): IT’S THREE!!!! Eric García plays an amazing through ball to find Lewandowski inside the box and the Pole completes a first half hat-trick to triple Barça’s lead!!!

22’ GOAL!!!! Alavés 0-2 Barcelona (Lewandowski): IT’S TWO!!! Raphinha goes on a one-man counter-attack after an amazing dribble move in his own half and gives Lewandowski the easiest of tap-ins to double the Barça lead!!!

7’ GOAL!!! Alavés 0-1 Barcelona (Lewandowski): BARÇA TAKE THE LEAD!!! Raphinha sends a free-kick into the box and Robert Lewandowski heads it home from close range!!!

6’ SUBSTITUTION: Barça lose Ferran Torres to an early injury as the forward goes down with an apparent hamstring problem and is replaced by Eric García.

4’ GOAL DISALLOWED: Barça take an early lead through Raphinha, but the goal is ruled out for an offside on Lamine Yamal in the buildup.

KICKOFF! Alavés 0-0 Barcelona: And we’re underway in Vitoria-Gasteiz!

WELCOME TO THE MENDIZORROTZA STADIUM!!! The tiny home of Deportivo Alavés in the Basque Country is the site of a big La Liga match between the hosts and Barcelona, who come into this one looking to rebound from their first league defeat of the season last week and retain their spot at the top of the table. But it won’t be easy against an Alavés side off to a good start in this campaign and who are always a very tough proposition at home. This should be fun, and you’re welcome to join us to follow and comment all the action. Vamos!

We don’t have a lot of rules here, but there are a few things to keep in mind when joining our matchday threads:

Even if the referee sucks or we lose the game, watch the swearing. It’s just unnecessary. Also, don’t discuss illegal streaming links. Those who do it will be warned, and those who post links will be instantly banned. Finally, be nice to each other. This is a Barcelona community and we don’t need to offend one another.

Have fun with the game! Forever and ever, no matter the competition, VISCA EL BARÇA!
