Lenglet injury! This is a blow to Barcelona on what has been an encouraging afternoon. Lenglet has picked up an injury and the French central defender is going to have to come off here.

What a chance for Pons! He's only been on the field for a matter of seconds, but Pons has spurned a massive chance to get Alaves on the board and back in the game. He completely missed his shot!

The second half is under way! Barcelona have a 3-0 lead over Alaves in this La Liga fixture!
End of 1st Half

HALF TIME: Alaves 0-3 Barcelona. Well, that is one of the best 45-minute spells of football Barcelona have played this season. Shame it has come in a dead rubber match at the end of the campaign.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Alaves 0 Barcelona 3 (44 mins - Luis Suarez). What a brilliant goal and Barcelona do indeed have their third goal of the afternoon! Messi played the pass in behind for Alba, he volleyed a cross into the middle and Suarez was on hand to head into the back of the net. Very nice goal from the Catalans!

That really was an exceptional save from Roberto. He had to react so quickly to the glancing header from Vidal who had a word with the Alaves goalkeeper afterwards as if to say... how?

VIDAL... what a save! Messi played the cross into the middle, Vidal's run was a good one and his glancing header appeared to be en route to the back of the net, but Roberto makes the save!
40'
Five minutes until the half time interval and there's a sense that Barcelona could add another to the scoreline before the whistle. They are on top and look to be enjoying themselves.

Setien must be pretty satisfied why how his team have played in this first half. If only they could have found this sort of attacking and creative freedom earlier in the season.

There has been a real lack of energy through the middle for Barcelona in recent seasons, but that's what Puig offers. You'd have to think he will feature even more next season.
36'
That goal hinted at the potential future of Barcelona, with Ansu, Messi and Puig all in the penalty box for the goal. Everything was done at pace and with the ball at the feet. Impressive.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Alaves 0 Barcelona 2 (33 mins - Lionel Messi). That's a lovely goal from Barcelona and they have doubled their advantage! Roberto played the ball to Puig at the back post, he waited and waited for Messi to make a late run into the box, played the pass and the Argentine controlled it and then finished into the back of the net.
