El Alavés achieved a remarkable milestone during their match at the newly renovated Camp Nou. The team made history by scoring the quickest visitor goal ever at this iconic stadium.
Historic Goal at Camp Nou
On November 29, 2025, Pablo Ibáñez opened the scoring just 43 seconds into the match against FC Barcelona. This swift goal set a record for the fastest goal scored by an away team at Camp Nou, bringing a surge of hope to the visiting supporters.
Details of the Record-Breaking Goal
- Time of Goal: 43 seconds
- Scorer: Pablo Ibáñez
- Previous Record: Dorlan Pabón, 62 seconds in the 2012/13 season
- Match Context: Ibáñez’s goal came during his 100th match in Primera División.
This accomplishment highlights a significant moment not only for Ibáñez but for the club as well. The goal marked a turnaround for Alavés, who had previously gone 230 minutes without scoring. They had faced two recent defeats, losing 1-0 to Girona and Celta.
Match Overview
The match strategy proved effective. After the initial kickoff, goalkeeper Sivera sent a long ball, which led to a corner kick for Alavés. Coach Coudet instructed his players to heavily engage inside the box, a plan that resulted in Ibáñez finding the ball unmarked and scoring with ease.
“We need to score goals to have a chance of winning,” Coudet remarked before the match, a statement that his team fulfilled in remarkable fashion.
This historic moment embodies the essence of football—quick, unexpected, and exhilarating. With this goal, El Alavés not only etched their name into the record books but also reignited their ambitions for the season.
