Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FC Barcelona gets underway.
- 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 10' Marc-Andre ter Stegen is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Deportivo Alaves so far.
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 17' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Martin.
- 22' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 27' Busquets has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 517 appearances.
- 29' Trincao has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 29 minutes.
- 34' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Deyverson suffering a number of foals already.
- 36' Lionel Messi doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 41' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ronald Koeman will be considering his options from the bench.
- 46' A change in the FC Barcelona ranks — Busquets exits the field as Samuel Umtiti enters on 46.
- 46' What composure from Lionel Messi! The Argentina international strokes it home. 3-0.
- 51' Tomas Pina has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 53' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Tachi on 53 minutes.
- 57' GOAL! Luis Rioja fires home to make it 3-1!
- 62' It looks surprising Deportivo Alaves does not make any changes. Laguardia has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 64' FC Barcelona ring the changes. Ilaix Moriba has done his job and it is now time for Pedri to step up.
- 69' Spain international Ruben Duarte has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 72' The FC Barcelona manager makes a substitution. Frenkie de Jong departs to be replaced by Miralem Pjanic.
- 74' GOAL! Trincao fires home to make it 4-1!
- 75' The Argentina Lionel Messi breaks the deadlock on 75 minutes. 5-1!
- 80' Junior Firpo makes no mistake. The score reads 6-1 and FC Barcelona are in front.
- 81' The supporters are chanting for Ousmane Dembele. He replaces Antoine Griezmann on 81 minute.
- 86' It’s high time Abelardo made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- With this win, FC Barcelona is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
