Real Sociedad triumphed in a Camp Nou party for the league title and almost closed the Champions League.
LA REAL SOCIEDAD TAKES THE THREE POINTS!!!! Goals from Mikel Merino and Alexander Sorloth spoil the party at Barcelona’s Camp Nou (1-2), which narrowed the injury time gap with Robert Lewandowski’s goal. Imanol Alguacil’s approach, courageous with the ball, solid in defense and intense in pressing, overcame an opponent without tension and without goals since he mathematically declared himself the winner of the LaLiga title a few days ago.
Barcelona fail to complete their celebration with a victory. With their first league title in the showcase since the 2018-19 season, Xavi Hernández’s team had had enough of being so predictable and lacked a point of intensity. Aside from these problems, the blaugranas found no way to counter Imanol Alguacil’s plan, ironclad on defense and tough on the markings.

In this sense, and facing difficulties, Ousmane Dembélé faced Real Sociedad alone. The Frenchman tried in every possible way, collected dribbles (10/16) and played it alone (16/23 in duels). Without much support to make those attempts count, he finished with a very high record of turnovers: 21 in 71 plays with the ball.
With this result, the team from San Sebastián continues to take root at the top of the ranking. And it is that Real Sociedad has occupied Champions League positions in 24 of the 35 days played, to return to the Champions League for the first time since its last participation in the 2013/14 edition.
Another approach with personality from Imanol Alguacil that has been well worth a valuable win. The ‘txuri-urdines’ lost only one of the five league matches they played against Barcelona (V1 1D), Atlético de Madrid (V1 1D) and Real Madrid (V1 1D) this season. The blue and white have not conquered Camp Nou since April 2016.
