Overview

• The champions travel to Estadio Mendizorrotza on Wednesday, May 13, for their penultimate away match with three wins still needed to reach 100 points.
• Hansi Flick is expected to rotate into a 4-2-3-1 with Joan García in goal and Robert Lewandowski up front, with Kounde, Araujo, Eric García and Balde in defense.
• Barcelona are without Lamine Yamal for the rest of the domestic season and Raphinha through suspension, with Andreas Christensen listed as doubtful.
• Alavés sit 19th and call this a must-win, with Lucas Boyé ruled out, Facundo Garcés suspended and top scorer Toni Martínez a late fitness doubt.
• Manager Quique Sánchez Flores said his team must give “200%,” and defender Nahuel Tenaglia vowed they would “sweat blood,” signaling a hard-edged, sold-out night in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
