Carles Alena, Luis Suarez on target for Barcelona
Barcelona took a huge step towards their La Liga title defence with a 2-0 victory over Alaves yesterday morning (Singapore time).
A defeat for second-placed Atletico Madrid against Valencia this morning or against Real Valladolid on Saturday would mean that Ernesto Valverde's side will be champions before they face Levante on Sunday morning.
