Game, set and match. Barcelona goes to the top of the table with a 6-0 victory but as I said at the start, Real Madrid do have two games in hand. Aleix Vidal on the other hand suffered what looked like a horrible injury and we hope he recovers fast!

Final score : Deportivo Alaves 0-6 FC Barcelona.

90+3' Final minutes of the game and a yellow card is given to Victor Laguardia

90' Three minutes of added time as Barcelona look to play out the game with Luis Suarez looking for his hattrick!!

89' Stoppage time shouldn't be too much despite the injury. Unless they don't take into account the time spent during the halt, the game has been over for sometime now.

88' Play resumes as Barcelona play with 10 men on the pitch, as they have used all their substitutions. It shouldn't make much difference given that they are 6-0 up.

Play has halted for a few minutes as the medical staff come on field to stretcher off the injured defender as the fans give him a standing ovation! Bad luck for Vidal who was just coming back in form after an unfortunate dip.

84' A good tackle but that's the end of Aleix Vidal game. It looks like he has broken his ankle in the collision with Theo Hernandez!!! A crushing tackle by the Alaves number 15!!

82' Marco Llorente has had a frustrating eighty minutes or so but he has shown flashes of brilliance. They were however overshadowed by disappointing refereeing decisions.

80' Counter attack as Alaves comes forward but Ter Stegen's good footwork gets him out of trouble!! Maybe Pep should have bought him instead of Claudio Bravo??

77' The question now is, are Barcelona happy with their tally?? The game has slowed down a touch but despite all that they still move forward.

76' Corner for Alaves but nothing comes off it and it's cleared towards Suarez who tries to counter attack for Barcelona. The forward can't outrun the Alaves defence and the ball is taken from him

75' Suarez limps off the field after a collision with an Alaves player but he will be back as soon as play resumes.

73' Note: Before this game, Lionel Messi had never ever scored at the Mendizorrotza Stadium and now he has a chance to double his efforts!!

72' 6-0 down and the stadium is still packed to the rafters!! Just tells you what the club means to its fans, touching gesture by the crowd!

71' Final substitution of the game as Sergio Roberto replaces Andre Gomes.

70' 27 meters out and Lionel Messi steps up to take the free-kick. He shoots and it's just too high!!

69' The game is all but over now for Alaves but Barcelona looks to add to their tally. This is somewhat of an overkill but revenge must be taken for the 2-1 defeat at Camp Nou.

67' GOOOOALLLLL!!! Shellshocked are the Alaves fans, as Barcelona have turned Mendizorrotza Stadium into a shooting range and Luis Suarez adds to his tally.

65' GOAAALLL!! It's somewhat over now, as Rakitic smacks a brilliant shot past Pacheco for Barcelona's fifth goal of the game!!

64' Substitution as Andres Iniesta comes on for Sergio Busquets!!

63' GOOOOALLLL!!! Although it seemed like a Messi goal, the ball was touched in last by a Alaves player. It was Alexis who the ball touched and went it.

61' Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic. A bad tackle by the Croatian who still hasn't found his feet in the game so far

The Argentine takes the ball with a simple touch of Vigaray's feet before finishing it past Pacheco for Barcelona's third goal!!.

59' GOAALLL!!! It's Lionel Messi this time after a poor touch by Vigaray!!

58' Yellow card for Busquets who will miss the next match!!!

57' Katai is replaced by Oscar Romero.

56' Barcelona are back on the ball and are happy passing it around before a brilliant tackle and Alaves are on the counter with Sobrino. He plays a short pass towards Santos who cannot get his shot off in time.

54' It's Alaves first period of sustained possession but they have made no attempt to go forward before the ball is cleared for a Barcelona throw. They did win a corner a minute earlier but made nothing off it.

51' Corner for Barcelona and this was is much better. The ball bounces in the box before falling to Aleix Vidal's feet, who's shot is blocked for another corner. Which is taken short and Rakitic sends a cross way over the box.

48' Corner for Barcelona but it is off target!! Corners need to improve by this Barcelona side and this was a good one as Luis Suarez's shot is off target!

46' CHANCESS!!!! Alaves could have a goal back, if Christian Santos had put that one on target!!!!! A brilliant play from the home side but the shot was way-way off target by the striker!!!

45' And we are back for the second half. Alaves have a two-goal deficit to make up and that fifteen minutes with their manager should do the trick

45' Subsitution as Krsticic makes way for Kiko Femenia.

The players are making their way back to the pitch and Alaves have a very important half ahead of them.

Luis Suarez collected the first one after some brilliant passing by Barcelona and then he was involved again, as Pacheco fumbled and Neymar finished for the second. Very hard for the away side to lose from here!!

Half-time: Alaves 0-2 Barcelona. Barcelona go into the break two goals up and Alaves have a mountain to climb. Despite defending well for half an hour, two quickfire goals have disappointed the home side but they need to find a route back.

44' Foul on Messi by Marcos Llorente and a free kick has been awarded to Barcelona.

43' Neymar has been brilliant so far!! He tries to charge ahead with a couple of tricks but the Alaves defence was not fooled and boots the ball clear!

41' Four minutes till half time and Barcelona have managed to go 2-0 up in a matter of minutes!!! It will take something from this Alaves side to come back!!

Pacheco tried to flick it outside for a corner but Suarez heads it back in towards Neymar who makes no mistake and tucks it into an empty net!!!!!

39' GOAALLLLLL!!! This time it's Neymar!!!! Haphazard defending from the home side and the Brazilian capitalizes!!!

38' Another chance for Barcelona but Digne is caught offside. A tad bit early and that was a pretty easy chance for the away side!!

A brilliant ball in by Vidal towards the Barcelona number 9 who scores before wheeling off to celebrate.

36' GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!! Brillant passing by Barcelona as Suarez tucks the ball in with ease.

33' Corner for Barcelona as Rakitic's pass is blocked. Another disappointing one seems to be a trend so far with the Barcelona side. Vidal rushes forward to lay it off for Rakitic but the cross-shot is blocked.

30' Barcelona cannot find a clear chance on goal, as the Alaves defence shrugs off chance after chance with well timed interceptions and tackles. It's been a brilliant defensive performance so far from the home side!!

28' It's Alaves with the intricate passing at the moment. Another attack ends with a good cross but Umtiti chests it down and Ter Stegen clings on to it!

26' Barcelona are back on the ball, trying to find that brilliant ball so that someone gets a chance on goal!!

23' Chance for Alaves!!! Corner for Barcelona but it's cleared to Theo Hernandez who counters brilliantly. The defender somehow tears past Digne, to run all the way to the other side only to have his shot saved by Ter Stegen!!
