Barcelona will look to rebound from a horrible night in Europe in midweek as they welcome Deportivo Alavés to the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium looking to keep pace with the top of the La Liga table.
The Blaugrana are in desperate need of not only three points but most importantly a quality performance after a disaster showing away to Shakhtar Donetsk which followed another terrible display in their win away to Real Sociedad. There’s a lot of pressure on players and manager Xavi Hernández to perform this weekend and go into the final international break of the year with some semblance of positivity.
