Alaves v Barcelona

Kick-off is at 21h30

 

Newly-crowned La Liga champions Barcelona are still on the road to the magical 100-point mark when they travel to Mendizorrotza for a clash with Alaves on Wednesday, May 13.

 

The Blaugrana successfully retained their title after beating arch-rivals Real Madrid 2-0 on May 10 open up an unassailable 14-point lead with three games remaining in the season.

 

Hansi Flick's side are now chasing three figures in the league, a feat only achieved twice in the history of the Spanish top flight - by Real Madrid in 2011-12 (100 points) and equalled by Barca in 2012-13.

 

The Catalan giants will also be seeking their 12th straight win since losing 2-1 to Girona on February 16 which was their fourth defeat of the campaign.

The threat of relegation is still looming for the Babazorros, although they kept their survival chances alive with a 1-1 draw against Elche on May 9.

 

Espanyol (14th), Real Mallorca (15th), Elche (16th) and Girona (17th) all dropped points on matchday 35 as well to give Quique Flores' side a glimmer of hope.

 

The Basque outfit trail Girona by just one point, while Elche, Mallorca and Espanyol are all only a further point better off in a three-way tie on 39.

Flick has now won back-to-back titles since arriving at the Camp Nou in July 2024 and it was an emotional time for the German after learning that his father had just passed away. 

 

"It was a tough day. A day I will never forget," he said. "This morning my mother called to say that my father had passed away.

 

"I'll never forget this moment. My team is fantastic and I'm delighted. I'm very proud of my players. It's thrilling to be with the fans, in a Clasico, beating Real Madrid."
