Review of the match Barcelona - Alaves:

In a tense and tense La Liga match played at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Compagnies stadium, Barcelona managed a remarkable 2-1 victory over Alaves. The exciting match started with the score 0-1 in favour of Alaves, but Barcelona turned the tide in the second half and took all three points. At the start of the game, both teams showed their skill and determination in attack. Alaves scored a goal by S. Omorodion as early as the first minute of the game. Omorodion, which shook the defence of Barcelona. The first goal threw Barcelona off balance and allowed Alaves to make a perfect start to their campaign. In the second half, Barcelona took to the pitch revitalised, showing a hunger for a comeback. In the 53rd minute, they managed to equalise thanks to a great strike from R. Lewandowski. This goal breathed new life into the Barcelona team and encouraged them to look for the winning goal. However, just a few minutes later, in the 62nd minute, the Polish striker received a yellow card, which put Barcelona in danger of collapsing. Both teams made tactical substitutions in an attempt to gain possession in the match. In the 63rd minute, L. Rioja came on for Alaves instead of A. Rebbach, and F. Lopez came on for Barcelona, replacing Rafinha. These personnel changes brought fresh ideas and energy to the teams. Barcelona continued to push for the winning goal, which led to a tense moment in the 75th minute when R. Duarte of Alaves was yellow carded.

However, it was the 77th minute that became a turning point in the match. Barcelona were awarded a penalty, and R. Lewandowski, stepping out of the gate, realised it brilliantly, giving his team a deserved advantage. "Alaves" tried to save a point by introducing C. Garcia instead of S. Omorodion in the 79th minute. J. Guridi was also introduced instead of I. Hagi, which should have given the attack a new impetus. In the 81st minute Barcelona made another substitution - Pedri was replaced by O. Romeu, and in the 85th minute Alaves was replaced by A. Blanco instead of T. Mendes. In a last ditch attempt to get back into the game, Alaves made one last substitution in the 85th minute, replacing A. Gorosabel with N. Tenaglia. Alaves' attacking threat kept Barcelona in suspense until the final whistle. In the final minutes of the game, Barcelona's I. Gündogan received a yellow card, which added to the drama and tension on the pitch. As a result, after the final whistle, Barcelona defeated an unyielding Alaves 2-1. This victory will surely boost the morale of Barcelona, who showed resilience and determination in their fight for victory. On the other hand, Alaves, despite the defeat, can hold their heads high as they showed a decent performance against one of the best Spanish teams.
