Barcelona look to return to winning ways in La Liga this weekend when they travel to the Basque Country to face Alavés at the Mendizorrotza Stadium on Sunday, trying to recover from their first defeat of the league season away to Osasuna last week.
Barça’s loss in Pamplona was certainly the low point of an otherwise fantastic campaign so far, with a dreadful performance caused in no small part by Hansi Flick’s decision to heavily rotate his squad and leave several key starters on the bench at the same time to begin the game.
