Barcelona fights to celebrate a historic title for its people as the club faces Real Sociedad, the team from the Basque region aiming for a Champions League berth.

KEY MOMENTS AND UPDATES ON BARCELONA VS REAL SOCIEDAD.
Gavi suspended
The clash pits Barca against the resilient txuri-urdin side with Xavi Hernandez’s squad arriving minus Pablo Gavi, who picked up a yellow card against Espanyol and is suspended for this fixture. In his place, Ousmane Dembélé is expected to start on the left, flanked by Raphinha and captain Robert Lewandowski in attack.
Everything else suggests Xavi will rely on his usual lineup. The main doubt remains Pedri Gonzalez, who has been dealing with fatigue and could start from the bench, allowing Franck Kessié or Sergi Roberto to step in. The absence of Gavi could also see space for an extra midfielder or a tactical adjustment in midfield roles.

La Real, aiming high
For Barcelona, the challenge is clear: stop Real Sociedad, a side coached by Imanol Alguacil, who sit in a strong position to secure a spot in Europe next season. A win at Camp Nou would complicate Barça’s celebrations while strengthening La Real’s own hopes. In the visitors’ lineup, Andoni Gorosabel and Aihen Muñoz could feature on the wings, while the core starting XI remains intact with players like Mikel Merino, Zubimendi and David Silva orchestrating play in midfield and Oyarzabal, Sorloth, and Kubo leading the attack.
