Barcelona 6-1 Alaves was the La Liga result at Camp Nou on Saturday night, 31 October 2026. Raphinha and Lamine Yamal both scored twice, Fermin Lopez and substitute Anthony Gordon added the others, and Barca were 4-0 up by half-time. It was the response Hansi Flick wanted after back-to-back defeats to PSG and Real Madrid.
Barcelona 6-1 Alaves: Match Report
Barcelona came into this game under some pressure. A defeat to PSG in Europe was followed by a 2-1 Clasico loss to Real Madrid, and the mood around the club was not what it had been during their strong start to the season. Alaves, without a win in their previous six matches, were the ideal opponent to get things back on track, and Barca made the most of it.
Raphinha opened the scoring on eight minutes and Fermin Lopez made it two on 23 minutes. Raphinha struck again on 41 minutes, and Yamal added a fourth in first-half stoppage time to effectively end the contest before the break.
The second half was more of the same. Yamal scored his second on 64 minutes, and Gordon came off the bench to make it six on 81 minutes. Mariano Diaz pulled one back for Alaves late on, but it was a consolation and nothing more. A crowd of 53,523 watched the rout.
Before kick-off, the stadium held a minute’s silence for the victims of the recent Toledo train crash in Spain.

Talking Points
Raphinha keeps scoring
Raphinha has been one of the most reliable forwards in Spain this season, and another two goals here underline how important he is to Flick’s side. When opponents focus their attention on stopping Yamal, Raphinha is so often the player who makes them pay, and his finishing in this game was clinical from the first minute to the last.
Yamal answers the noise
Lamine Yamal missed out on the Ballon d’Or this week, with Harry Kane taking the award. He responded with two goals and a performance that showed why many still see him as the best young player in the world. You can read about that ceremony in our Ballon d’Or 2026 report.
Fermin Lopez and Gordon chip in
It was not only the front two who delivered. Fermin Lopez added a goal from midfield, and Anthony Gordon made an impact off the bench with the sixth. Having several players capable of scoring takes pressure off the main stars, and it gives Flick useful options as the fixtures pile up.
A perfect reset before Europe
The timing of this win matters. Barcelona host Aston Villa in the Champions League on Tuesday, and going into that game with confidence restored is a big plus. See the data for that fixture on our Barcelona vs Aston Villa predictions page.
La Liga Title Race
The result keeps Barcelona right in the fight at the top of La Liga, with Atletico Madrid also winning on Saturday after beating Levante 2-0.

Betting Angle
Barcelona at home remain one of the most dependable sides in Spain for goals. Against weaker opponents, over 2.5 and over 3.5 goals markets have often been better value than the straight win price. That said, Villa on Tuesday will be a far tougher test than Alaves. Check today’s tips on the JetBet predictions page.
