Two defeats later, Hansi Flicks side return to Camp Nou on Saturday needing a response against Alaves, the last team to beat them in La Liga with a win at Mendizorrotza on May 13.Barca won their first 11 matches of the season in all competitions, but results have unravelled quickly. Paris Saint-Germain beat them 4-2 in Paris in the Champions League, then Kylian Mbappes double handed Real Madrid a 2-1 win in the Clasico at Camp Nou last Sunday, ending Barcas nine-game winning start in the league.They remain top on 27 points, but the gap at the top has narrowed dramatically with Atletico Madrid two points behind and Real Madrid three shy of the leaders.Barcas record this season is still outstanding. They have scored 40 goals in 10 league games, and the Clasico defeat ended a run of 23 straight home league wins.Alaves will need no reminding of their last meeting with Barcelona, winning 1-0 through Ibrahim Diabates goal days after Barca had been crowned champions.The Babazorros enter this game in poor form, despite sitting seventh with 12 points. Alaves have lost four and drawn two of their last six league games, equalising in the 89th minute to draw 1-1 at home to Malaga last time out.They have conceded only 11 goals the same as Barcelona but have scored just 14.Former Real Madrid striker Mariano Diaz has been their key attacking player, with three goals and four assists in 10 league appearances.La Liga table: Full updated standings 2026/27 La Liga 2026 Spain Primera Divisin #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 5 1 Barcelona1090140112927 L W W W W 2 Atletico Madrid108112081225 W W W W W 3 Real Madrid1080225101524 W W W L W 4 Real Betis106221614220 D L W D W 5 Real Sociedad106131918119 W W W W L 6 Sevilla105231616017 W L D L W 7 Alaves103341411312 D L L D L 8 Athletic Club9333129312 W L D D D 9 Celta Vigo10262107312 D W D W D 10 Villarreal103341514112 W D L W W 11 Deportivo La Coruna102531313011 L D L D L 12 Osasuna103251020-1011 L W L D L 13 Racing Santander103251526-1111 W L D L L 14 Levante102441619-310 L W D D L 15 Elche102441417-310 W D D W L 16 Rayo Vallecano92341220-89 L D D W L 17 Getafe10235515-109 L D L W L 18 Espanyol102261214-28 L L D L L 19 Valencia10136717-106 L D D L W 20 Malaga10055719-125 D L D L L Position 1, 2, 3, 4 : Promotion Champions League (League phase) Position 5 : Promotion Europa League (League phase) Position 6 : Promotion Conference League (Qualification) Position 18, 19, 20 : Relegation LaLiga2 Barcelona vs Alaves team newsBarcelonas injury problems are mounting.
