In fact, speaking about the upcoming fixture, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick looked much keen on going on the international break with this win. Stressing upon the need for a win against Alaves, Flick mentioned,

""I don't see any other scenario than winning tomorrow. The objective is to leave with three points before the break. High intensity from the start is what we expect tomorrow.""

So far this season, the Blaugrana club has been in great touch throughout, with their disappointing performances arriving only in adverse conditions. Not to forget, in the loss against AS Monaco, Barca had been to the most difficult start to the fixture while having started with a much more rotated lineup against Osasuna. However, in the coming matchday, the club keen to secure the complete 3 points would go with the full-strength lineup.

Addressing the question regarding potential rotations, Hansi Flick had this in response:

""We did rotate against Osasuna. Now, we have had 4 days off since the last game. I think the situation will be different than that of the Osasuna game.""

Moreover, the German mastermind mentioned much on their newest signing, Wojciech Szczesny, being brought in as Ter Stegen's replacement. As per reports, the former Juve keeper has been impressing the staff with his physical condition, and Flick seemed to have special praise for the keeper. Mentioning about the player's brilliant experience, Flick remarked,

""Szczesny is in great form. He will help us a lot with his experience. He will be ready to play after the international break.""

Overall, as Barca boss Flick has it clear, the Blaugrana club would enter the fixture with an aim to seize the complete 3 points. Having been close to their potential best in their recent outing against Young Boys, the Blaugrana club fans would hope to have them retain their 3-point La Liga lead.
