The decisive goal came in the second half from striker Robert Lewandowski, who capitalized on a cross from Lamine Yamal. This win narrows the gap between Barcelona and La Liga leaders Real Madrid to four points.
The first half was challenging for Barcelona, with limited offensive opportunities. A significant incident occurred when midfielder Gavi and Alavés forward Tomás Conechny collided heads, resulting in both players being substituted and transported to a local hospital for evaluation.
In the second half, manager Hansi Flick introduced Frenkie de Jong and Eric García to enhance the team's performance. The adjustments proved effective, culminating in Lewandowski's 18th league goal of the season. Despite Alavés' efforts to equalize, Barcelona maintained their lead, securing all three points.
This victory not only boosts Barcelona's title aspirations but also sets the stage for the upcoming Madrid derby, where Atlético Madrid will face Real Madrid. A favorable outcome could further tighten the title race, providing Barcelona with an opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table.
