"Barcelona hosted Deportivo Alaves in an early kickoff on Saturday evening in what was only their second game back at the Spotify Camp Nou. Unlike their first which was a comprehensive 4-0 win, this time it was far closer. The visitors, after all, took the lead after just 45 seconds and put pressure on Barcelona, snatching away their clean sheet and threatening an upset."
"Lamine Yamal soon scored the equaliser and Dani Olmo made it 2-1 later in the first half, handing the Catalans the lead. What followed was an end-to-end display with both sides creating big chances but failing to capitalise. Barcelona largely dominated after the break and had several chances to extend their lead, but Yamal, Olmo and Raphinha missed their mark. Eventually, however, Barcelona took the game home with the 3-1 scoreline with a late Olmo strike,"
