The 2024-25 edition of LaLiga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Deportivo Alaves take on Hansi Flick's Barcelona side in an important clash at the Estadio Mendizorroza on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
