"In their second match back at the partially renovated Nou Camp after two and a half years of redevelopment, Barcelona overcame a shaky start amid uncharacteristic scenes of long pre-match ticketing delays that left the stadium half-empty at kickoff. According to the club, the problems were caused by technical difficulties that left thousands of fans unable to access their tickets through the club's mobile app, creating long lines at the fan support office and forcing the match to begin with swaths of empty seats."
"Alaves stunned the hosts in the first minute when Pablo Ibanez struck from close range. Barcelona defender Marc Bernal misjudged a corner, allowing Ibanez to pounce on the loose ball inside the six-yard box and neatly slot it into the net with his first touch. However, Barcelona hit back just seven minutes later. Alejandro Balde darted down the left flank before feeding Raphinha, who delivered a low cross into the box."
"Barcelona recovered from an early setback to secure a 3-1 victory over Alaves in La Liga on Saturday, with first-half goals from Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo and a late second for the latter sealing the win at the Nou Camp. The triumph lifts last year's champions to the top of the standings on 34 points, two ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, who have a game in hand at Girona on Sunday."
Barcelona recovered from an early setback to win 3-1 against Alaves at the Nou Camp. Pablo Ibanez opened the scoring for Alaves in the first minute after Marc Bernal misjudged a corner. Lamine Yamal equalized in the seventh minute following Alejandro Balde's run and a Raphinha cross. Dani Olmo curled a first-time strike in the 26th minute to give Barcelona the lead and added a late second to seal the victory. Yamal struck the post just before halftime after a fine Lewandowski pass. Ticketing technical problems left thousands unable to access mobile tickets, delaying entry and leaving seats empty.
