Following a big win in the European top flight, Barcelona will return to La Liga action when they take on Alaves at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday.
Although Hansi Flick's men thrashed Young Boys 5-0 in a mid-week Champions League tie, the Blaugrana will need to bounce back from their only league win this season. Barca suffered a 4-2 loss at Osasuna in the previous domestic outing.
Meanwhile, Alaves will be looking to return to winning ways after back-to-back league defeats away from home against Real Madrid and Getafe.
