Barcelona Stunned by Alavés, Ending Scoring Run and 100-Point Bid

The defeat leaves the champions capped at a 97-point maximum.

Overview

  • Alavés beat Barcelona 1-0 with Ibrahim Diabate scoring in first-half stoppage time, lifting the hosts out of the relegation places for now.
  • The champions failed to score in LaLiga for the first time this season after a 35-match run of finding the net.
  • The result snapped Barcelona’s 11-game league winning streak and halted their push for a 12th straight victory.
  • Barcelona sits on 91 points with two games left against Betis and Valencia, capping their possible total at 97, three short of the club record from 2012–13.
  • Coach Hansi Flick had set a 100-point goal, and the defeat also dims hopes of reaching 100 league goals.
