The Catalans, who started the league for the first time since 2004 without the most productive footballer of their time, have made up for the loss of a longtime leader with the activity and high speed of the game since the start of the match.
The first extremely dangerous situation at the Basque Gate occurred in the 12th minute when the ball hit by Antoine Griezmann’s head bounced off the crossbar. The episode became a kind of announcement of the near future, and in the 19th minute after the transfer of the Dutch Memhio Depay, who made his debut at the Barça club, Gerardas Piqué headed the ball into the goal.

The hosts, who dominated both the ball and the control of the game, established their advantage with a second goal at the end of the first stoppage time. After another high pass, Danish forward Martin Braithwaite scored with a great shot.

In the second part, the culés continued enjoying a clear advantage of game. Jordi Alba had a wonderful opportunity to put Braithwaite on top of another goal in the 59th minute, but his shot went over the crossbar.
With the atmosphere in the stadium significantly suppressed, the host fans began to wait for the referee’s whistle to register an easy victory, but the Real Sociedad returned the intrigue to the match at the end of the second half.
Julen Lobete Cienfuegos, 82, rekindled Basque hope in the 82nd minute, and Mikelis Oyarzabalis, who played in the European Championship and the Olympic Games this summer, brought the guests even closer in the 85th minute.
Even so, on Sunday night at the Camp Nou stadium he was tied with Braithwaite, who marched with the Danish team to the semifinals of the European Championship. The forward completed his impressive performance in the 91st minute, with Sergi Roberto turning Barcos into a victory.

The Real Sociedad stadium for footballers in Catalonia continues to be one of the least known strongholds in Spain. Since the 1991-92 season, the Basques played a draw in Barcelona and suffered up to 27 defeats.
