Robert Lewandowski‘s second-half strike helped Barcelona beat Alaves 1-0 on Sunday to cut the gap on La Liga leaders Real Madrid down to four points. The Catalans, third, capitalised with a narrow victory after the champions slipped up across town at Espanyol on Saturday. Barcelona trail second place Atletico by three points before the Rojiblancos face Real Madrid in a tasty derby clash next weekend, which could allow Hansi Flick’s side to make up more ground.

Lewandowski netted from a Lamine Yamal cross to settle a hard-fought match in which Alaves largely frustrated the hosts.

“Before the game we knew we had to win,” Lewandowski told Movistar. “For us it’s a moment in which we have less points than Atletico and Real Madrid, (but) first it’s important that we win and later we can think about their points.

“We have to play well, win and then we can look at the league table and see how many points we have exactly.”

Flick’s team struggled to get going in the early afternoon sunlight at the Olympic stadium.

The Catalans created barely anything of note in the first half as Alaves resisted stubbornly.

One mazy Lamine Yamal dribble got home fans excited but there was little else to raise the pulse.

Gavi and Tomas Conechny were both taken off after an ugly collision of heads.

– ‘Patience’ pays –

Lewandowski scuffed a shot narrowly wide and a low Pedri effort was comfortably fielded by Alaves goalkeeper Jesus Owono.

Flick brought on Frenkie de Jong and Eric Garcia at half-time to try and speed up Barcelona’s game in possession and the team looked sharper as a result.

Lewandowski sent a glancing header agonisingly wide of the far post soon before he broke the deadlock.

The veteran Polish forward produced a poacher’s finish from close range after Yamal sent a cross-shot spinning towards him at the back post after 61 minutes.

It was Lewandowski’s 18th goal of the league campaign, stretching his lead on Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe as the division’s top scorer to three.

“A game like today is very important,” said Lewandowski.

“We can’t always win with four, five or six goals, sometimes teams like this come along who defend deep and well, but we have a chance if we play with patience, and in the end we scored one more goal than them so we’re very happy.”

Barca substitute Ferran Torres‘s curling effort was pushed away by Owono at full stretch as the Catalans tried to make the game safe.

Flick’s team could not produce a second but Alaves, who barely threatened Wojciech Szczesny‘s goal throughout, were not able to mount a comeback.

Later Sunday fourth-place Athletic Bilbao visit Real Betis among other matches.

Having already secured a Top 8 spot, second-placed Barcelona currently sit three points behind Liverpool in the table, and have a chance at top spot should Liverpool lose and Barcelona win. Atalanta are themselves on the brink of Top 8 qualification, currently sitting 7th on 14 points. However, with several teams sitting just a point or two behind, Atalanta’s automatic Round of 16 qualification is not yet a certainty.

Barcelona blew away a miserable Valencia 7-1 on Sunday to get back on track in La Liga with a ruthless victory. Fermin Lopez struck twice for the Catalans in the first half, along with goals from Frenkie de Jong, Ferran Torres and Raphinha which gave Barcelona a commanding five-goal lead at the break. Hugo Duro pulled one back early in the second half before Robert Lewandowski pounced for Barca, followed by a Cesar Tarrega own goal, with the third-placed hosts earning just their second win in their last nine league matches.

Hansi Flick’s side trail La Liga leaders Real Madrid by seven points and second-placed Atletico Madrid by three.

“I think in La Liga we were in a bad dynamic and we needed this win, it’s very important and now we have to keep fighting,” Lopez told DAZN.

“The coach says everyone in the team is important, and whoever is playing we have to be up to it — that’s what being a team is and that’s how we can compete for the title. 

“There’s still a long way to go and we will fight until the end.”

Flick shuffled his pack against Valencia in order to spark a response given the club’s poor domestic form.

The coach began with Lewandowski and Ronald Araujo on the bench, while Pedri was absent because of a stomach bug, leading to De Jong, Ferran Torres and the superb Lopez all starting.

It took just three minutes for De Jong to open the scoring, with teenage star Lamine Yamal crossing for him in the area virtually unmarked, and he fired home.

Barcelona soon had their second, with Torres tucking home from Alejandro Balde’s cross, in similar fashion to the first goal but from the opposite flank.

The hosts moved three goals ahead in the 14th minute when Lopez clipped a fine ball over the top for Raphinha to run onto.

The Brazilian winger rounded Giorgi Mamardashvili and rolled home for his 12th league goal of the season.

Valencia, without the suspended Cristhian Mosquera, were struggling badly in defence and Barcelona broke in seemingly at will.

Lopez collected a perfectly measured Pau Cubarsi long pass for the fourth and although it was initially ruled offside, the decision was corrected by VAR.

Valencia thought they had won a penalty when Wojciech Szczesny brought down Hugo Duro but play was eventually brought back for a foul on Jules Kounde after another video review.

Lopez rattled home the fifth on the volley before half-time when Raphinha’s effort hit the post and fell nicely for him with the goalkeeper stranded.

‘Angry and sad’

Hugo Duro pulled one back for Valencia before the hour mark from Diego Lopez’s low cross and Flick responded by sending on La Liga’s top goalscorer Lewandowski.

The Polish forward finished clinically for his 17th league goal of the season after being sent through by Lopez for Barca’s sixth on the night.

Barcelona netted their seventh when Torres’ hammered cross was deflected into his own net by Tarrega.

“For me it was the perfect match,” Flick told reporters.

“(Fermin) today showed how good he was… he attacked everything and defended very well, with the ball he was unbelievable.”

Seven goals did not flatter Barcelona by any means and the thrashing is a setback for Carlos Corberan’s Valencia, 19th and four points from safety.

“I feel angry and sad for all the people who came to see us, all the fans watching at home, we have to say sorry because we weren’t up to the level of the game or the shirt that we represent,” said Valencia defender Jose Gaya.

“It was an enormous step backwards, we have to ask for forgiveness… we have to feel hurt after this, we can’t forget it, we have to focus that energy and rage into the next game.”

Earlier Athletic Bilbao, fourth, could only produce a 0-0 draw at home against Leganes, and now trail Barcelona by two points.

Relegation-battling Getafe earned an impressive 3-0 win at Real Sociedad to climb to 14th, while Rayo Vallecano came from behind to beat Girona 2-1.

After a superb start to their league campaign, Barcelona have failed to win their last four La Liga games. However, the Catalonian giants have been excellent in cup competitions, winning the Supercopa de Espana and securing qualification to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. They will once again rely on their front three of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal to guide them to victory. On the other hand, Valencia sit 19th in the table, four points adrift of safety.

Barcelona must harness the euphoria of their thrilling Champions League victory at Benfica to halt a miserable run of La Liga form against an improving Valencia side on Sunday. The Catalan giants have just one victory in their last eight league games and have dropped seven points behind champions and current leaders Real Madrid. Valencia visit the Olympic stadium on the back of an impressive 1-0 home win against Real Sociedad last weekend, with the team already looking stronger under new coach Carlos Corberan.

The former West Bromwich Albion coach was appointed on Christmas day, and his side came close to taking points off Madrid in a narrow 2-1 defeat in his first outing.

Los Che have also won two cup games in January to reach the quarter-finals, where they will also face Barcelona.

Their win over Real Sociedad helped them climb off the bottom of the table to 19th, four points from safety.

Corberan and Co face a Barcelona side that has scored five goals in three of their last four matches, but their only league game in that period finished in a frustrating 1-1 draw at Getafe last Saturday.

Valencia will take note of how the Madrid minnows’ low block defence caused Hansi Flick’s side a great deal of difficulty to break down and will likely follow suit.

Flick said his team also had to work on their defensive mistakes against Benfica ahead of the Valencia clash.

“It’s important we speak about this, because the next opponents will look at this match and we have to make it better, and we will do that,” said the German coach.

“We will train on this, if it’s possible, or we can (discuss it) in the meeting, we can do some technical things.

“We analyse everything and we’ll show (the players) what we have to do better.”

La Liga’s top goalscorer Robert Lewandowski netted twice in midweek from the penalty spot but has only produced one goal in his last five league matches.

Getafe also managed to keep Barca’s teenage starlet Lamine Yamal quiet, which few other sides have managed this season.

Corberan called on his Valencia team to keep improving ahead of the trip to Barcelona.

“We have to keep growing, I’m going to get the most out of every game we play,” said the Valencia coach.

“I’m not here to say that we have to grow for the sake of it, it’s a reality of football.

“The team is increasing in terms of personality, dedication, commitment and it’s very important to consolidate that.”

Valencia have only been relegated once in the club’s history, in 1986, and were promoted the following year.

Their improvement under Corberan will be confirmed if they can take even a point from title challengers Barcelona, which could prove vital come the end of the season.

Player to watch: Julian AlvarezThe former Manchester City striker has recently struck top form for Atletico Madrid, netting twice to earn them a vital comeback triumph in the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen in midweek. He and Antoine Griezmann are forming a strong partnership up front which is powering their title bid, which continues with the visit of high-flying Villarreal on Saturday.
