Barca ended a two-game losing streak
Barca ended their losing streak and beat Real Sociedad by one goal in a bitter away battle, and Xavi's disciples finally kept a clean sheet at the cost of injuring two defenders, Araujo and Alves. Despite his mediocre overall performance, Aubameyang scored his only goal of the game, compared to transfer market favourite Isaac missing a one-handed move.
The best reinforcement in the winter window with 9 goals in 11 rounds, Aubameyang's efficiency is comparable to legend
Aubameyang scored three points
After losing to Cadiz at home 4 days ago, Barca urgently needed to stop the bleeding, this round of Araujo unblocked Pique from injury, counting Xavi to swallow the reassurance pill, the two strongest centre-backs in the team returned, the defensive performance has indeed improved, since the first 1-0 win over Sevilla in April, for the first time in five games have not conceded a goal. The forward line also finally got rid of the slump of 6 goals on target in the previous round, Dembele's mid-post Garvey successfully created a second attacking opportunity, Ferran Torres connected with his partner, Aubameyang scored the 11th goal in all competitions in the last 14 games, and the ninth goal in his first 11 La Liga games.
Efficiency is comparable to several legends
Barca's second half la Liga scoring rate is second only to Real Madrid, thanks to the winter window to make up the gun, free of charge Aubameyang is one of the most brilliant strokes of The director of Alemani's career, the first 11 games have scored more than 9 goals, in the past 50 years, only 8 goalscorers in La Liga have done, all of them are famous, Cruyff in 1974, Kempez in 1976, Romari in 1993, Ronaldo in 1996, Vieri and Ibrahimovic in 1998, only two in this century, C Ronaldo has not been able to do.
The goal shows the smell in front of goal
In the first 6 La Liga games, he has scored 7 goals, and has been tied for 1st in the history of the team than Romario, no doubt he is the best reinforcement in the winter window of La Liga and even the five major leagues, there are only 3 new la Liga signings who have scored more than 10 goals in the second half of history, Santander 2 meters tall Djižić in 2009 is the first 13 goals, Valencia "Cobra" Illier 12 goals in 1998, Diego Costa of Vallecano in 2012 has 10 goals, and barca 25 of the remaining 6 league games is expected to catch up with two Eastern European masters.

Aubameyang only eats bread? Arsenal prey proves that being able to eat bread is also a skill
Of course, Aubameyang is by no means a perfect center forward, otherwise it is impossible to explain Arsenal's willingness to let him leave the team for free, scoring 11 goals in the last 31 games of his Gunners career, although the efficiency is not comparable to the past six months, it is not a very bad report card. Arteta refused to use the former captain, one is the discipline problem, the second is that its technical style is single, the main function is to seize the opportunity to score, once the efficiency falls, the value of the field is very limited, the Gabonese back to the ball is weak, does not have the tactical role of the forward fulcrum, and does not participate in the multi-person small range continuous transmission and cooperation like Lacazette. Barca are now in similar trouble, with the three forwards basically fighting alone, Dembele's right wing alone, and the other two waiting for their teammates to pass the ball to feed the cake, and the interaction is really limited, not to mention the exquisite cooperation.
Barca's biggest lack of goals in the first half was a shooter
However, even if Aubameyang has many weaknesses and can eat cake steadily, it is actually the most urgently needed supplement for Barca, and the most scarce goal protection after Messi left the team. How many games in the first half were dominant and did not have enough points? Champions League group life and death battle against Benfica, Xavi can only put up Memphis and Garvey, Demir's ultra-lightweight attack combination, 14 shots on goal, if there is a top scorer such as Aubameyang, Barca may not be unable to miss the Champions League knockout round for the first time in 18 years.
Isaac misses a single knife
Sorlot didn't go in with an empty kick
The Royal Society also experienced similar embarrassment in this round, the Basques had the upper hand 1 hour after the game, and the full line of suppression made it difficult for the away team to play the ball at the back, but Arsenal had been planning to bring in Isaac, who was Aubameyang's successor, and lost a single knife ball with a very low difficulty coefficient in the first half, and in the second half it was the turn of Sollot, also from London (Crystal Palace), to perform a wave shot, and the Norwegian tower easily missed the opportunity to miss most of the empty goal. Barca can be unbeaten in the last 10 away games with 8 wins and 2 draws and has withdrawn from the Anoeta Stadium for 6 consecutive times (the team's historical record), the difference is that the scoring efficiency of their main gun and the Nordic double gun is cloudy.
