BARCELONA -- Real Sociedad closed in on a place in next season's Champions League as they beat LaLiga champions Barcelona 2-1 at Spotify Camp Nou on Saturday.
Mikel Merino opened the scoring early on and Alexander Sorloth added the second after the break as Barca lost at home for the first time in the league this season.
Robert Lewandowski pulled one back late on for the Blaugrana, who collected the LaLiga trophy after the match after clinching the title last weekend, but La Real held on for three vital points.
