Barcelona were left stunned as MSN power were not been able to avoid an embarrassing 2-1 defeat at home against the new boys of La Liga Alaves.
Neymar and Arda Turan started alongside debutant Paco Alcacer, making way for Luis Suarez and Andreas Iniesta
Messi and Suarez came off the bench in the second half but the Alaves men were too good for the first biggest upset of the new La Liga season 2016/17 beating the Champions.
Alaves takes the lead inside the first half through Deyverson who put the ball past debutant goalkeeper Kasper Cillessen on the end of a sensational Kiko Femenia cross to claim an unlikely lead in the first half.
French international defender Mathieu headed level just after the start of the second half, but Gomez's strike stood out as the pick of the bunch beating two defenders to before putting the ball into the back of the net stylishly.
Mathieu had the best chance minutes after his equalizer but he squandered that opportunity and then Barcelona were ultimately made to pay for his profigacy.
Alaves frustrated their tough opponent in Catalonia, and manager Mauricio Pellegrino saw his unbeaten start to La Liga preserved in tough territory.
Here are the highlights of the match between Barcelona and Alaves.
