Luis Enrique tactic of resting Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez falls terribly wrong as newly promoted Alaves defeats Messi and company 2-1.
Alaves, who promoted to primera division after 10 years makes the biggest upset of La liga Santander 2016-17 by beating the defending champion 2-1. Messi amd Suarez started on the bench while Neymar was the only one of MSN who played the full length match.
So many clear chances missed by Barca players. Alaves roars ahead in the 39th minute when Deyverson, who was bought from Levante in the summer transfer window, just angles the incoming cross with his left foot into the goal..
But after half time Barcelona was revived again.. Thanks to a great header by Mathieu within a minute in 2nd half. A minute later Mathieu had another chance to score and that was way easier than the first one but he missed from a POINT BLANK..!!!
Alaves again scored in 64th minute and this goal was much like a gift to them as Barca defenders couldn't make a simple clearance and hay-wired among themselves.. In short a blunt mistake.!!
Messi comes on 60th minute but couldn't produce much and he too missed a chance in the last minute of extra time.. Though, He was clinical in making chances but ultimately nothing paid off..
With this lose, Barca moved down to fifth place, while Real Madrid tops the chart.. Ronaldo came on for Real Madrid and scored, merely, in 6th minute.
