According to a report by BBC Sport on Saturday, October 31, 2026, Barcelona continued their impressive run in LaLiga after thrashing Deportivo Alavés 6-1 at the Spotify Camp Nou.

The hosts wasted little time in taking control of the match, as Raphinha opened the scoring in the eighth minute after receiving a pass from Fermín López, who played an important role in Barcelona's attacking moves throughout the evening.

Fermín then got on the scoresheet himself in the 23rd minute, finishing with his right foot after being set up by Lamine Yamal, as Barcelona continued to put pressure on the visitors and create several chances in front of goal.

Raphinha scored his second goal of the night in the 41st minute, taking advantage of a defensive mistake by Jonny Otto, before Yamal made it 4-0 in first-half stoppage time with a brilliant effort from outside the box, following an assist from João Cancelo.

Barcelona returned for the second half with the same attacking intent, and Yamal added his second goal in the 64th minute after receiving a pass from Gabriel Jesus. The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but a VAR review overturned the decision and allowed the strike to stand.

Anthony Gordon made it 6-0 in the 81st minute with a well-taken lob after Rodri picked him out with a fine pass, leaving Alavés with little chance of recovering from the heavy defeat. Mariano Díaz scored a late consolation goal in the 84th minute after taking advantage of a mistake by Rodri, but it did little to change the outcome.

The victory leaves Barcelona two points clear of second-placed Atlético Madrid at the top of LaLiga, while Deportivo Alavés dropped to 10th position with 12 points after suffering a heavy defeat at Camp Nou.
