LaLiga lineups, team news, confirmed starting teams
Barcelona are still adjusting to life back at Camp Nou since it’s reopening and they welcomes Alaves this weekend.
After facing Athletic Club and breezing past them, Hansi Flick’s side will be hoping for more of the same after a shock in midweek.
The Blaugrana were thrashed 3-0 by Chelsea in the Champions League, with the Blues imposing more misery on the Spanish champions in Europe.
But, that is behind the club now, and they remain just a single point behind Real Madrid in the domestic standings.
We have all the team news for the clash this afternoon.
