"Solitary goal from Diabaté on the stroke of half-time decides Wednesday's game at Mendizorrotza."
"The Zaragoza-born defender not only made his debut for FC Barcelona, but did so as a starter. After several call-ups, coach Hansi Flick rewarded the defender, who joined the club in the summer of 2021, with his first minutes in central defence alongside Pau Cubarsí."
"The Barça coach looks back at the defeat at Alavés as does debutant Álvaro Cortés."
"With the 2025/26 season drawing to a close, it is time to assess who the standout players of this campaign have been and who deserves a place in the Team of the Season. Barça, crowned champions against Real Madrid last Sunday, will have a strong representation."
Alavés beat FC Barcelona 1-0 at Mendizorrotza in La Liga. A solitary goal from Diabaté on the stroke of half-time decided the match. Hansi Flick reflected on the defeat and noted positive aspects despite the result. Álvaro Cortés made his FC Barcelona debut as a starter in central defence alongside Pau Cubarsí. Cortés joined the club in the summer of 2021 and had received several call-ups before this first appearance. The season’s end also brought recognition for standout players, with six FC Barcelona players included in the Team of the Season after the club were crowned champions against Real Madrid.
