Portuguese Francisco Trenco took Barcelona a goal after a back pass from 18-year-old Elash Moriba in his debut.

Luis Rioja, the Alaves player, took advantage of a mistake by young Elash and reduced the difference in the second half, but Barcelona rose up and scored through Trinkau, and another long-range shot from Messi, then Messi passed an amazing ball to Antoine Griezmann and reached Junior Verbo to score easily.

In addition to his two goals, the referee canceled a third goal Messi scored in the 36th minute for offside after reviewing the attack through the video assistant referee.
