At the time when Real Madrid club is already in La Liga, Barca behind them is very embarrassed, although they are less than 2 rounds of opponents in front of them, but they are currently behind by as many as 18 points, this round of competition they will encounter real sociedad, facing this team that pays great attention to defense, can the team led by Xavi lead the team to defeat the opponent to continue to retain the suspense of the league title?
Why is Real Sociedad a fantastic la Liga team? The reason is the extreme mismatch between the two ends of the team's attack and defense, in terms of attack, the team has only scored a total of 32 goals this season, ranking fifth in La Liga, while the defensive team has only conceded 31 goals and ranked 3rd in La Liga, in such extremes we can see that the team's attack can generally only rely on set-pieces to launch threatening attacks, even if the team has a technical midfielder like David Silva, it is impossible to make up for the team's offensive problems.
Race conditions
Facing Barcelona at home, Real Sociedad is not too light opponents, even if they have never lost at home since entering 2022! In the opening 3 minutes, Barca's defence almost conceded the ball, Real Sociedad striker Isaac's upside almost caused Ter Stegen to cut off the ball to complete the loss, but after experiencing the opening Real Sociedad's three axes, Barca immediately completed the counterattack, in the 11th minute, Alba on the left side tried to connect dembele on the right side, then Dembele's shot hit the upright and popped up, and then Garvey struggled to complete the counter-snatching pass to Ferran Torres, who picked aubameyang to complete the header! Barca started 1-0 Real Sociedad, followed by an attacking "constipation" on both sides, and the half ended without problems.
Half-time back "Real Sociedad" also revealed their true colors, in the defense of Araujo and Sollot entangled together and then Araujo injured and was replaced, did not expect that Barca's bad luck is not over, the 66th minute right-back veteran Alves also appeared injured, for a time Barca has been a two-member general in a row! At this time, Real Sociedad is eager to win, so the manager Alguasir directly replaced a number of players with a big hand to try to equalize or even overtake, Real Sociedad's winger Januzai's several crosses also made Barca's inside the penalty area scream, but unfortunately their advantage did not translate into goals, and finally Barca still scored 3 points without danger, interestingly, this is Real Sociedad's first defeat at home since entering 2022, I did not expect to be blessed by Barça.
