Barcelona moved three points clear at the top of La Liga on Saturday ahead of Real Madrid’s game on Sunday, as they overcame Alaves 4-1 at Camp Nou.
Barça came close to a second seven minutes before half time, with Messi just poking wide following a lightning quick counter-attack involving Griezmann. However, they did double their advantage just before the break as Arturo Vidal rifled home Luis Suarez’s pass.

The second half began in much the same way, with La Blaugrana continuing to dominate proceedings. Griezmann found the net once more only five minutes into the second period, but it was ruled out for offside. However, Alaves pulled one back on 55 minutes through Pere Pons, with the midfielder powerfully heading home.
The home side restored their two-goal lead on 69 minutes, however, as Messi sublimely curled home from outside the area. Luis Suarez made it four five minutes later from the penalty spot, after VAR awarded a spot-kick. Valverde’s men saw out the rest of the game to pick up a valuable three points.
