Real Sociedad ended Barcelona’s 11-match winning streak with a spirited 2–1 home victory, handing the league leaders a rare LaLiga defeat.
Match Highlight
Captain Mikel Oyarzabal gave Sociedad the lead in the 32nd minute, volleying home from close range after a precise cross from Goncalo Guedes.
Barcelona equalised in the 70th minute through Marcus Rashford, who headed in after sustained pressure. The joy was short-lived, as Guedes responded almost immediately with a well-taken volley to restore Sociedad’s lead.
Barcelona struck the woodwork five times in the closing stages, but goalkeeper Alex Remiro produced a string of outstanding saves to preserve the win.
“I think we deserved to win,” said Barça captain Frenkie de Jong. “Their keeper had a great game.”
What It Means
Despite finishing with 10 men after Carlos Soler was sent off late, Sociedad held firm. Barcelona remain top on 49 points, one ahead of Real Madrid, while Sociedad climb to eighth.
