Barcelona thrashed Alaves 6-1, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha each scoring two goals. Fermin Lopez and substitute Anthony Gordon also contributed to the scoreline. This dominant victory allowed Barcelona to reclaim the La Liga lead, moving two points clear of Atletico Madrid. The win was crucial for Hansi Flick's side, coming after recent damaging defeats to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and rivals Real Madrid in El Clasico. Earlier, Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid secured a 2-0 win against Levante, thanks to goals from Alejandro Grimaldo and Giuliano Simeone, extending their league winning streak to seven matches. Alaves, now 10th, have gone seven games without a win. Barcelona is set to host Aston Villa in the Champions League and face Atletico Madrid in a key La Liga clash next week.
