Barcelona step out for the first time as 2025/26 La Liga champions at Alaves, although head coach Hansi Flick insists there are still goals for his side to achieve

A 2-0 Clasico win over Real Madrid last weekend gave Barca an unassailable lead at the summit with three games remaining. Hansi Flick’s men are on 91 points.
“The team, and I, want 100 points, and for that we have to win the three games we have left,” Flick said at his pre-match press conference.
That mark has only been achieved twice in La Liga history – by Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid in 2011/12 and Tito Vilanova’s Barca the following season.
The Blaugrana’s numbers are boosted for the trip to Mendizorroza, with Andreas Christensen back in the matchday squad for the first time since he underwent knee ligament surgery last December.

Barcelona injury and suspension list
Below is the latest injury picture for Barcelona, including estimated return dates for those who are sidelined.
Lamine Yamal
-
Injury: Hamstring
-
Expected return: June
Lamine Yamal picked up a Grade 2 hamstring injury while scoring the game-winning penalty against Celta Vigo on April 22, leaving him out for the rest of the club season.
He is expected to recover in time to return for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Spain this summer, but his fitness will have to be monitored so he does not suffer a recurrence of the muscle injury during what can be a grueling month-long tournament.

Raphinha
-
Suspended: One match
Raphinha sustained an injury in his right hamstring during France’s 2-1 friendly win over Brazil on March 26. That kept him out until a second-half substitute appearance in El Clasico, whereupon the winger collected a booking. It was his fifth of the season, which means another enforced week of recuperation.
