Barcelona looks to banish Chelsea blues against Alaves in La Liga

BARCELONA: After their humbling at Chelsea, Barcelona hope they can get back to winning ways when they host Alaves in La Liga on Saturday. The game will give Barcelona the chance to move ahead of leader Real Madrid in the Spanish standings, a day before Xabi Alonso’s side visit Girona. Barcelona have taken advantage of a couple of slips by Madrid to close the gap in La Liga to one point. But Hansi Flick’s side fell apart in a 3-0 loss at Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday. “We have to accept the defeat and stay positive about what comes next,” Flick said.
