Game is over and the final score is Alaves 0-1 Barcelona. Here is the match report.
Match Report
Frenkie de Jong handed Barcelona's top-four hopes a boost after scoring a late winner away from home against LaLiga minnows Alaves.
Xavi's side looked like they were going to lose ground in the race for the Champions League spots after they were frustrated by the 19th place hosts.
But the Dutch midfielder came to Barcelona's rescue to score in the 87th minute and close the gap to fourth place Atletico Madrid down to one point.

The fact that Barca is a mess doesn't mean @af has to increase it .. red card was given to the manager of Depotivo Alaves not to Barcalone.

Culers, let’s be factual, there is no difference between this team’s style and Koeman’s. I don’t see any sign of progress. It’s all sloppy, slow games and we now win games by stroke of luck. We are no where near Real Madrid, nor any current top teams in Europe. Xavi has not really added anything new to this team.

Alba played well. Frenkie and ferran played a bad game
Kid U better stick to Cartoons,F.De Jong was best player in today's match & Ferran was pretty gud especially with assist.Abde was worse
