We didn't deserve to win this. Very RM like win. Gotta feel a bit sorry for Alaves.

Ref

the very first goal was Pique's hand, the second was offside and he stole them a penalty

Happy for 3 points in a scrappy win. But seriously what was the team set up today.

Haven‘t seen a good replay of the first goal yet.
Paco was definitely offside before getting FK leading to 2:0
Also were a bit lucky not to get a PK call against us in the Munir vs Umtiti situation but at least that non-call was ok because Umtiti was too close to say the handball was on purpose.

Also while this was one of the worst performances this season in general at least morale was high, team never stopped trying.

Alves made us look very ordinary for long parts of this game.

We thought... what the hell.... it's Alaves at home. Let's just allow the players to enjoy themselves. Until shit got real.

THIS. The initial setup was horrible.

One of the most frustrating nights ever..

1. Very unbalanced team and tactics..Coutinho out of place, defense was missing sergio

2. Way to complacent,from our central defenders to messi

3. Just a bad experiment from Valverde...hope he will not line up this mess again.

In that situation it doesn't matter if it's on purpose or not. Umtiti had an unfair advantage by having his hand too far from his body.

Noticed the players getting visibly frustrated with Digne and semedo in the first half. Those two just don't know how to make forward runs.

Ya a tired performance. Should have been a couple down before we scored really. Fairly sure pique should be credited with the first. Still a lovely winner from Messi even though it wasn't one of his best free kicks. He hit a much better one earlier into the corner but the keeper somehow saved that but couldn't keep out an easier one. Coutinho wasn't too bad but I'm sure there's better to come. Also does anyone else think it's Messi on the ball for a split second when it comes to coutinho? Have to get used to that

Great win, still unbeaten in La Liga, but... we put our best squad available to a hard test and the result was terrible, too many complacent players. Also I expect to see some tired legs on Thursday against Valencia in Copa del Rey. It will be a tough match.

Game like this was bound to happen. Luckily we pulled ourselves out from loosing. Unfair? Yes, but so were denied goals we had this and in the last season that probably costed us a title.
