More worrying for Barca fans on Saturday night, although at times their team showed more aggression in attack, much of the display implied that their problems run much deeper than former coach Ronald Koeman who was sacked on Thursday morning. Sergi made no real changes to the starting 11, with youngsters Nico Gonzalez and Gavi partnering Sergio Busquets in the midfield. Barca looked to take the game to Alaves and for much of the first half they had the visitors pinned deep in their own half but without creating clear chances.
