The famous MSN trio were once again “the culprits” as F.C. Barcelona dismantled Alaves in an away LaLiga match played at the Estadio Mendizorrotza. This match was supposed to be a rehearsal for the Copa del Rey final match.

F.C. Barcelona had earlier on been beaten on home soil by Alaves in September, but Barca’s famed MSN trio helped set the record straight, with Neymar’s goal taking him above club legend Ronaldinho in the scoring charts.

Virtually all the goals came in two clusters, with Luis Suarez and Neymar scoring within three minutes of each other on the stroke of half-time to ruin what had been to that point a resilient display from Alaves, who ended the club’s wait for a first Copa final with Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Celta Vigo.

F.C. Barcelona’s own route to the final had proved more problematic, as a heated 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou – which sealed a 3-2 aggregate success – came at the cost of red cards for Sergi Roberto and Suarez, though the latter is subject to appeal.

Luis Suarez scored in that match before being given his marching orders and netted twice on Saturday, the first from Vidal’s low cross.

Alaves – who had denied Barca a goal on the Catalan giants’ last three LaLiga trips – had barely recovered from that blow when they conceded a poor second, goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco punching an attempted clearance into Suarez and the loose ball falling for Neymar to tap in.
