"Following a glorious victory in El Clásico to clinch back-to-back La Liga titles on Sunday and a glorious parade through the city on Monday, Barcelona return to action for their penultimate away game of the season as the Catalans travel to the Basque Country to face Deportivo Alavés at the Mendizorrotza on Wednesday Night Fútbol."
"Barça come into the final three games of the season with a noble objective of finishing the league campaign with 100 points which would put them in historic territory as champions, but the simple truth is these matches mean nothing to the Blaugrana and it would be completely natural to see a drop in focus and intensity, especially with players who are already thinking about not getting injured so close to the World Cup."
"Expecting the Blaugrana to show their best version in the last 10 days of the season is unrealistic, but Hansi Flick might choose to shake things up with his lineup and give some reserves and youngsters a chance to play and make a claim for a spot next season."
"Barcelona Outs & Doubts: Lamine Yamal, Raphinha (out), Andreas Christensen (doubt) Alavés Outs & Doubts: Facundo Garcés, Lucas Boyé (out)"
Barcelona travel to Estadio Mendizorrotza to play Deportivo Alavés in La Liga matchday 36. Barcelona enter the final three games after winning El Clásico and securing back-to-back league titles, with a parade following the triumph. The club’s stated objective is to finish with 100 points, which would be historic, but the matches are described as having little immediate meaning for Barcelona. A drop in focus and intensity is considered likely, especially as players near the World Cup and prioritize avoiding injury. Hansi Flick may rotate the lineup, giving reserves and youngsters opportunities to impress and compete for spots next season.
