Barcelona will go top of La Liga with a victory over Real Sociedad, but rather, they have conceded the opening goal of the game at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Hansi Flick’s side have dominated the opening stages despite giving chances to the likes of Dro Fernandez and Roony Bardghji, and they have had a number of opportunities – albeit, none of them were clear. But regardless, they have been punished for not scoring, as the visitors have hit the front.

A fine move from La Real ended with Ander Barrenetxea crossing for Alvaro Odriozola, and the former Real Madrid defender turned the ball into the back of the net with his outstretched foot.

Real Sociedad catch Barcelona on the counter! 🔵⚪

It’s a fantastic moment for La Real, who are hoping to pick up back-to-back victories following their midweek win over Mallorca. Barcelona have been here before, so they will be confident in finding a response, especially with Lamine Yamal an option from the bench.
