Barcelona go second in La Liga after 2-0 win over Sociedad
It is the fifth consecutive home league win for Barcelona for the first time since October
Barcelona went second in La Liga after defeating Real Sociedad 2-0 at the Olympic Stadium on Monday.
It is the fifth consecutive home league win for Xavi’s men for the first time since October. Barcelona already secured their place in next season’s Champions League. Barcelona fell 4-2 to Girona last weekend.
Barcelona’s teenage winger Lamine Yamal was the highlight of the showdown. He scored the first goal for Barcelona by slotting the ball past goalkeeper Alex Remiro.
Sociedad generated a lot of pressure early on in the game with a missed opportunity by Sheraldo Becker. However, Barcelona maintained their composure.
Brazil winger Raphinha sealed the win for Barcelona with a late penalty during injury time. The Monday’s win won three points for Xavi’s side.
Now, Barcelona trailed Real Madrid by 14 points on the points table. They also hold a one-point lead over Girona. Real Sociedad remain one point behind Real Betis in the Europa Conference League race.
Sheraldo Becker missed the opportunity to give the visitors the lead just five minutes into the game. Real Sociedad goalkeeper Remiro saved a goal from a wonderful shot by Raphinha.
