Barcelona's efficient performance against Deportivo Alaves on 06 October 2024, resulted in a decisive 3-0 victory, spearheaded by a first-half hat-trick from Robert Lewandowski. The key statistical factors that determined the outcome were the away team's superior finishing and their clinical execution in front of goal. With eight shots on target compared to Alaves' two, Barcelona consistently tested the home goalkeeper, showcasing their attacking precision.

A significant impact was made by Raphinha, who was instrumental in two of Lewandowski's goals. His creativity in delivering goal-scoring opportunities highlighted Barcelona's ability to exploit weaknesses in Alaves' defensive setup. Despite Alaves having a higher number of corner kicks (11) and attempting more shots off target (9), their lack of composure in the final third and inability to convert set pieces into goals showcased their inefficiencies in attack.

In terms of discipline and match management, both sides ended with two yellow cards each, but it was home team's 11 offsides and fouls that hampered their momentum. Barcelona's more composed approach, reflected in their lower foul count (5) and offsides (3), allowed them to maintain control and sustain pressure. Alaves' defensive lapses and failure to contain Barcelona's forward line, particularly in the early stages, were critical in tipping the balance decisively in Barcelona's favor.
