Alaves defender vows to make life difficult for Barcelona – ‘We will sweat blood’

Barcelona may have just secured the La Liga title in stunning fashion against Real Madrid, but there is no time to rest.

The Catalans now have their sights set on an extraordinary milestone, with three wins from their remaining three matches needed to reach 100 points for the season.

Their next opponents, Deportivo Alaves, arrive at the Camp Nou in desperate circumstances.

Currently in the relegation zone, Quique Sanchez Flores’ side needs points just as badly as Barcelona want to make history, and one of their most respected voices in the dressing room, Nahuel Tenaglia, is clear about fighting until the very end.

What Tenaglia said ahead of Barcelona clash

Speaking ahead of the fixture, Alaves defender Tenaglia was sure about Deportivo Alaves’ goal, adding that the team will do everything it can to secure at least a point.

“The team is going to sweat blood against Barcelona, and I think we’re going to pull it off. We have to defend what’s ours: our pride, our hard work, and our city,” he said (h/t AS).
