The variation between Koundé and Araújo that Xavi made changed the Barça-Alavés
The change of position between Jules Koundé and Ronald Araújo was key to 'stopping' Samu Omorodion, who was 'destroying' the Frenchman one on one during the first half
The FC Barcelona suffered more than the account in the visit of the Sportive Alavés to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys, by the thirteenth day of LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023/2024.

The one of Melilla was the big nightmare for the Barcelona in the first part.
And it is that, in addition to the goal that annotated, had several clear opportunities to leave of Montjuïc with more goals. It left several destellos of quality, important movements and an ease 'abusive' to win in the one against one.
