Barcelona Edges Out Alaves with Lewandowski's Decisive Goal

2025-02-11

Barcelona secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Deportivo Alaves in a La Liga match at the Spotify Camp Nou on February 2, 2025, thanks to a decisive goal from Robert Lewandowski. The win allowed Barcelona to close the gap on league leaders Real Madrid to just four points, with Atletico Madrid also within three points in second place.

The match was marked by a lack of clear-cut chances, with Lewandowski breaking the deadlock in the 61st minute. The Polish striker volleyed home from close range after a deflected cross from Lamine Yamal. This proved to be the only significant opportunity for Barcelona, who managed to keep their first clean sheet in 11 league games.

The game also saw an early injury scare for Barcelona’s Gavi, who was forced off after a clash of heads with Alaves’ Tomas Conechny. While Conechny had to be stretchered off, Gavi walked off the pitch but was substituted as a precaution. The incident added to Barcelona’s growing injury concerns, with several key players already sidelined.

Alaves, struggling in the relegation zone, failed to create meaningful chances, often falling victim to Barcelona’s offside trap. The defeat left them two points adrift of safety, with their next match against Getafe looming.

Barcelona’s next challenge is a Copa del Rey quarter-final clash against Valencia on Thursday, followed by a return to La Liga action against Sevilla. Alaves, meanwhile, have a week off before their next league fixture.
