As Barça return to league action this weekend, we take a look at the challenges presented by Alavés
Club football is finally back! Now that we are done with the awkwardly-timed international break, newly-promoted CD Alavés visit Camp Nou looking to cause a monumental upset against Luis Enriqué's men in Blaugrana. With the dust settled after an important transfer window, many key areas have been strengthened - including Paco Alcácer coming in to be the (previously) seemingly elusive 4th forward to play backup to the hallowed trinity of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar. Some key battles lie ahead of the team, as always, with this weekend's match against Basque outfit Alavés.
