  • 90'
    FT: Alavés 0-5 Barcelona. It's a fine finale to La Liga for Barcelona as they brush off the frustrations of losing the title - or perhaps, channel it - with a demolition of Alaves in superb style. A Lionel Messi double is the pick of the bunch as the Argentine flexed his usual creative muscles again, but the Blaugrana never looked like a side anything less than switched on. Alaves will have the off-season to lick their wounds - their visitors though march on to Europe now.
  • 87'
    There's only a handful of minutes left and still Barcelona are hunting a sixth goal.
  • 83'
    How have Alaves missed that?! It's a glorious chance to pick up a consolation goal, as the long ball finds Joselu on the edge of the Barca penalty area, but his diving header is sent wide of the mark. They've burned that one quite fantastically.

    Martin Braithwaite has now arrived for Barcelona as the game resumes, but it is Fati who makes way for him instead.

Goaaaaaal!

  • 75'
    GOAL! BARCELONA! 5-0 to the visitors and it's that man, Lionel Messi, once more! He latches onto a cross from Alba into the box and cracks it straight past Roberto. The keeper doesn't even seem to see it. Two goals for the Argentine and Alaves will just want this day to end.

    GOAL! BARCELONA! Nelson Semedo adds another to the visitors' tally, crashing a close-range effort beyond Roberto after he is fed in on the right edge of the box. The Blaugrana are absolutely firing right now.

    Lenglet is replaced by Nelson Semedo.
  • 47'
    Lenglet injured. And Barcelona has no defense. Vidal is in the centre, but Semedo's coming in.
  • 47'
    A few substitutions for the hosts: Tachi, Pere Pons and Rioja in for Laguardia, Joselu y Lucas.
  • 46'
    We're back underway for the second half here - will Barcelona continue this rout or have Alaves got a response up their sleeve?
  • 45'
    HT: Alavés 0-3 Barcelona. Goals for Ansu Fati, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have seen Barcelona run riot so far - and there could have been more, were it not for the efforts of Roberto between the sticks. The West Ham shotstopper has arguably been his side's best player in a match where the visitors have looked intent to finish La Liga on a high, even if they don't have the title to show for it. At the break, it's Alaves 0-3 Barcelona.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 44'
    GOAL! BARCELONA! There's no stopping Luis Suarez from that distance! It's Jordi Alba with the short volley assist inside the box, fed from outside with a lovely well-weighted ball, and the striker powers a close-range header home. 3-0 and it's a long way back for Alaves.
  • 43'
    Alaves make the break wide down the left now and almost unlock the Blaugrana defence, but the visitors' defence circle back fast enough to cut them off at edge of the box.
  • 41'
    What a save from Roberto! Vidal latches onto a wonderful ball floated in by Messi just a handful of yards out - and yet the keeper manages to palm his attempt off with the reflexes of a tiger. A sensational stop keeps this at a two-goal game.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

    GOAAAAAALLLL MESSI!!! Great action from Barcelona on the counter-attack. Sergi Roberto for Riqui Puig, who held on inside the area and gave it to Messi. After two dummies, the Argentinean beat Roberto.
  • 27'
    What a mistake by Suarez! He was left alone by Riqui Puig with a spectacular pass and he made a huge mistake in the hand to hand. Roberto saved, but it was more difficult to miss that than to score. Especially for him.
  • 25'
    Alavés had it coming... Sergi Roberto's great pass from the right reached Ansu Fati's feet and he shot against the helpless Roberto.

  • 21'
    ANOTHER ATTEMPT MISSED! Lionel Messi's left footed shot from outside the box is just a bit too high from a direct free kick.
  • 17'
    Attempt saved. Luis Suárez's left footed shot from the centre of the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Assisted by Lionel Messi.
  • 15'
    CLOSE!! Lionel Messi hits the left post with a left footed shot from outside the box! He was assisted by Ansu Fati, and that now makes it 3 shots for Barcelona since the game started. Setién's men clearly looking to make up for bad results.
  • 12'
    Arturo Vidal hits the bar with a right footed shot from the right side of the box! It came from a great pass from Riqui Puig.
  • 9'
    Attempt missed! Manu García's right footed shot from the centre of the box is too high.
  • 4'
    Offside, Alavés. Oliver Burke tries a through ball, but Lucas Pérez is caught offside.

    And we're off!

    The Vitorians, saved by Muñiz in Seville, managed to put aside their bad streak and will be in First Division for another year. Of course, Asier Garitano did a lot of the work.
