From the source

FC Barcelona have spent much of the season forcing opponents to adapt to them rather than the other way around. Hansi Flick’s side have become increasingly difficult to unsettle because their strengths are no longer confined to one phase of play.

They attack with width and movement, press aggressively after losing possession and have gradually tightened the defensive details that occasionally exposed them earlier in the campaign.

That wider improvement has now been acknowledged by Alaves coach Quique Sanchez Flores ahead of Saturday’s meeting at the Spotify Camp Nou. According to Mundo Deportivo, speaking before the match, Sanchez Flores admitted he had struggled to identify an obvious weakness in Barcelona’s game.
