Barcelona recorded their fourth straight game in La Liga without a win. The culés reached only 1: 1 against Alavés on their visit since the eighth day of the Spanish championship. Leo Messi and company must regret it a lot, because in the 62nd minute they played with one more man, after Hota received a second yellow card for a dangerous game against Piqué.
Thus, the former student of Ronald Koeman is on a draw streak at home against Sevilla, defeat as a guest of Getafe, defeat at home against Real Madrid and draw against Alavés.
The authors of the successes were Rioja and Griezmann.
In the seventh minute, Messi tried to take Fati behind the defense, but his pass was resolved by Pacheco.
In the 13th minute, Fati was again released from his care on the left, he went out alone before Pacheco, but his shot went through the left post.
Three minutes later, Daverson saw Mendes turn from the right flank, pass him and the second shot, but Neto saved.
In the 20th minute, Fati and Griezmann combined in the penalty area, but the Frenchman’s goal attempt ended with a shot wide.
In the 23rd minute Messi tried a deft free kick low under the wall, but the ball was cleared from the goal.
In the 31st minute, Luis Rioja took advantage of a misunderstanding between Gerard Piqué and Neto. The defender returned a routine ball to the goalkeeper, who, however, did not control the ball well and Rioja running took it from his jack to stretch the net by 1: 0.

In the 43rd minute Messi again had the opportunity to score from a direct free kick, but his shot was deflected in a corner kick. However, nothing dangerous happened after that.
In the 47th minute Messi stormed down the left into the penalty area and shot into the nearby corner of Pacheco, but the guard was on point and stopped him.
In the 54th minute, Fati intercepted an airborne pass from Serge Roberto in the penalty area, but the diagonal shot went inches from the left post.
In the 62nd minute, the locals were left with one man less after Hota received a second yellow card after a raised leg, which touched Piqué.
Just 60 seconds later, Pina was awkward and sent the ball back to her goalkeeper, but Griezmann was extremely resourceful, controlling and sealing the door for 1: 1.
A minute later, Messi could have made a complete turn, but Pacheco made a great save from close range.
In the 78th minute, Ansu Fati, who was turning 18, tried again with his right foot the Pacheco reflex, but right in the hands of the guard.
10 minutes later the ball was passed to Dest in front of the gate, but his shot was stopped by the ubiquitous Pacheco.
Moments later, Batalia cleared Piqué’s header from the goal line.
Thus ended the dispute between the two teams, and with the points divided, the Blaugranas occupy 12th place with 8 points, and Alavés is 13th with the same number but worse goal difference.
