The international break is over, and club football returns to our lives. The Champions League starts in just three days, but before the European Cup kicks off, Barcelona have an important La Liga match to play on Saturday.
You wouldn't think it's that important when Deportivo Alavés come to Camp Nou, since it's a team that just won promotion to La Liga and will probably fight against relegation all season. But while the opponent isn't the strongest, Barça are the last title contender to play this weekend, and both Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid have won their games, putting pressure on the Catalans to win their game as well and stay at the top of the table.
