Newly-crowned Spanish champions Barcelona saw their hopes of a historic 100-point La Liga season dashed on Wednesday, falling 1-0 to a determined Alaves side in Vitoria. The defeat ended Hansi Flick's team's chance to match the all-time record points total, leaving them with 91 points and three games remaining.

Ibrahim Diabate's first-half stoppage-time strike proved decisive, as the relegation-threatened hosts dug deep to secure a vital victory. The goal came from a corner, with Antonio Blanco heading the ball back across goal and Diabate firing past Wojciech Szczesny. Alaves climbed out of the drop zone to 15th place, earning a crucial three points in their survival fight.

Barcelona's performance reflected the aftermath of their title celebrations, having clinched back-to-back league crowns with Sunday's Clasico win. Flick made several changes to the lineup, giving 21-year-old center-back Alvaro Cortes his debut. While Marcus Rashford brought energy to the attack, the visitors struggled to create clear chances against a resolute Alaves defense.

The hosts almost doubled their lead early in the second half, with Diabate forcing a save from Szczesny, while Jon Guridi struck the post with a powerful drive. Barcelona's bid for perfection fell short, but their championship season remains a testament to their dominance in Spanish football.

In other action, Sevilla produced a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to beat Villarreal 3-2, climbing to 10th place and four points clear of the relegation zone. Gerard Moreno and Georges Mikautadze had fired Villarreal into a commanding lead within 20 minutes, but Oso and Kike Salas leveled before halftime. Akor Adams sealed the win in the 72nd minute, continuing Sevilla's revival under the backdrop of reports that former defender Sergio Ramos is near completing a club takeover alongside an investment firm.

"It's an indescribable feeling, giving back to the fans all the love they give us," said Sevilla defender Sala after the dramatic victory.
