A mediocre Barcelona took the three points from Mendizorroza thanks to their punch and talent, although they suffered greatly and were inferior in many facets of the game to a brave and tough team. Deportivo Alavés in Mendizorroza. Xavi’s men won 1-3 with goals from Robert Lewandowski, Ilkay Gundogan and Vitor Roque. The Blaugranas finished with 10 after the incredible expulsion of the Brazilian for a double yellow.
Samu Omorodion He put the spice at 1-2, but fatigue took its toll in the final stretch in a Glorioso team that was superior for much of the match.
Once again, and there are many this season, The rival coach gave Xavi Hernández an important tactical challenge at the start. Alavés was much better than a disastrous Barcelona, in which the Terrasa coach came up with the brilliant idea of placing Christensen in the engine room. The babazorro team gave their starting rival a bath.
The trident formed by Jon Guridi, Guevara and Antonio White he pressed, stole and threw at the three attacking players –Samu, Luis Rioja and Álex Sola- who with their speed put a Barcelona team that is a tactical disaster in serious trouble.
The local team had the first chances of the match through the interned on the right side of Álex Sola who did not find an auctioneer. With the match completely under control, the Barça blow came. Gündogan and Lewandowski connected so that the Pole opened the scoring with a Vaseline in front of the goalkeeper.
In this way, Lewandowski’s disastrous drought was broken, as he had not seen a goal since last December 10. Something that highlighted, even more, the disastrous management that Xavi has done this season. There is plenty of talent, but he has not known how to build a team.
Alavés continued in search of the goal with an active Jon Guridiwho had one of the clearest chances for the locals in a play that he finished completely alone inside the area, but that Iñaki Peña saved with a save.
More things happened in the second half. The locals started as in the first half, with clear chances but with a lot of lack of success. Once again out of nowhere, Barcelona scored. In a long ball, Lamine wins the game alongside him, gives way to Pedri who pulls out of his hat a luxury assist for a Gündogan, entering from the second line, controlled and beat Sivera. Another terrible blow for an Alavés superior in everything except the most important thing, the punch.
As soon as he came out from the center, Glorioso made the game spicy. Impressive header from Samu Omorodion after a great ride from Sola on the right to make it 1-2.

Vitor Roque was the protagonist later. The forward surprised Antonio Sivera with a low shot and scored the third. His second goal in a week. The Brazilian who is next to him has a sense of smell Lamine Yamal -physical and technical exhibition in the last half hour- this season at Can Barça. Roque was sent off in a surreal manner three minutes after scoring 1-3, upon seeing the second yellow card after a collision with Rafa Marín.
How bad the referees are! Despite playing with one more, the babazorro teamvery tired after surpassing his rival for much of the match, could not take advantage of the superiority in the final stretch. The beating that Luis Rioja, Sola and Omorodion gave each other –What a small brown beast the player on loan from Atlético de Madrid is – he weighed too much and Barcelona ended up closing out the victory and adding the three points.
