MADRID, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Luis Suarez, Neymar and Leo Messi all got on the scorecard as FC Barcelona enjoyed a crushing 6-0 win, including a spell of 4 goals in 8 minutes, over the Deportivo Alaves, who will be their rivals in the Spanish Kings Cup final at the end of May.
However, as much as the margin of victory, the game will be remembered for a horrible ankle injury suffered by Barca defender Aleix Vidal in the closing minutes of the game following a sliding challenge from Theo Hernandez.
Alaves were tight and organized until Barca opened the scoring, but fell apart in the second half as the efforts of their Cup run and some clinical finishing from Barca caught up with them.
Following their respective Cup semi-finals during the week and with Barca facing a key Champions League tie away to Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday, both sides made changes to their starting 11 with Lucas Digne and Jeremy Mathieu coming into the Barca 11, while Sergio Busquets also made his first start after injury.
The game began as expected with Barca enjoying most of the ball, but struggling to break down a well-drilled Alaves defense and midfield.
Messi went close after three minutes, while Vidal fired over shortly before Hernandez gave Barca a fright with a galloping run, which was only stopped by a fine stop from Ter Stegen.
The defender was at fault though when Barca took the lead in the 37th minute, allowing Vidal too much space on the wing and the Barca defender's low ball was stabbed home by the ever alert Suarez.
