Before thinking of Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona (2nd) has hardly imposed itself against Real Sociedad (17th), this Sunday, to take control of the liga the day after the humiliation suffered by Real Madrid on the field of Atlético (5-2). A meeting that marked the return to the goals of Wojciech Szczęsny, in place of Joan Garcia, injured. The young Pedro “Dro” Fernandez, Bardghji and Rashford accompanied them Lewandowski in attack. Opposite, the Basques appeared in a 4-1-4-1 with their captain Mikel Oyarzabal.

Very quickly, Barça had possession of the ball and multiplied the assaults on the goal of Alex Remiro. The 30 -year -old goalkeeper had notably deployed on a magnificent strike from Rashford (10th), following an excellent combination on corner. Despite the Catalan domination, it was ultimately the Sociedad that managed to unlock the display panel, following a Center de Barrenetxaa for Álvaro Odriozola (31st, 0-1). A fault on the goal of visitors, Jules Koundé caught up perfectly by taking over, from the head, a center of Rashford for equalization before half-time (43rd, 1-1).
Decisive Lamine Yamal for his return
Upon returning from the locker room, the assaults multiplied on the Romero cage, author of three stops in the second period. To boost a new breath to his team, Flick has decided to relaunch Lamine Yamal, who had not played since September 7 with Spain. And the double winner of the Kopa trophy will not have made a long time before making the difference, since less than a minute after entering the game, he delivered a right foot caviar for the head of Robert Lewandowski (59th, 2-1). A goal that has not completely put Barça in the shelter.
The Real Sociedad could have equalized, but Kubo's shot struck the bar of Szczęsny (84th). In the process, Lewandowski in turn saw the ball crashing on the transversal of Remiro (85th). Dominator on the whole game, FC Barcelona therefore won against Real Sociedad (2-1) and therefore occupies the first place in the Liga classification. Lamine Yamal and his teammates can therefore think of the reception of PSG, this Wednesday in Montjuic in the Champions League. For their part, Sergio Francisco and Real Sociedad are on the verge of the relegation area and occupy 17th place.
