Their offensive performance was outstanding. The hosts' dominance was on full display as they dominated the match from start to finish.

After an astute pass from Fermin, Raphinha scored in the eighth minute with a pinpoint finish that rebounded off the right post. Barcelona kept up the pressure, and their spectacular attacking combinations resulted in a plethora of scoring chances.

While in possession, Barcelona continued to pose a threat, and Alaves made an effort to reply. The visitors had a promising attacking spell, but Joan Garcia made a fantastic save to keep the score tied when Angel Perez tried to score from close range.

Fermin Lopez scored a spectacular goal in the 23rd minute to double Barcelona's lead after receiving a wonderful pass from Lamine Yamal. Once inside the penalty area, the midfielder found some space and fired a shot into the top left corner.

In the 41st minute, Raphinha confidently finished off Fermin's pinpoint pass into the penalty area to extend Barcelona's lead. Once again, the Brazilian forward provided a clinical attacking performance, punishing Alaves' defensive shortcomings.

With a magnificent long-range shot that beat Antonio Sivera in stoppage time, Yamal capped off Barcelona's outstanding first-half performance. A commanding four-goal lead was established before halftime thanks to his effort.

Even though they made multiple substitutions after halftime, Barcelona continued to dominate. In the 64th minute, Yamal scored again with a superb finish inside the box. His outstanding contribution was completed when the goal was confirmed following a VAR review.

After that, Anthony Gordon came on and the Spanish winger left. Gordon wasted no time making an impression, adding to the score in the 81st minute with a stunning chip over the goalkeeper off a pass from Rodri.

In the 84th minute, Alaves were granted some relief when Mariano Diaz scored a powerful goal that beat Barcelona's goalkeeper. The away team, though, was unable to mount a comeback, and Barcelona cruised to a resounding victory.
