Barcelona are back in second place in the La Liga table and have taken a major step towards Champions League qualification thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Real Sociedad at Anoeta on Thursday night.
Barça scored early and played a great first half but couldn’t add a second goal and had to endure an epic struggle against a great Sociedad side, who were as good and tough to play against as advertised in the second half. But the Blaugrana showed huge character and found a way to pick up three massive points to bounce back from two straight defeats and boost their confidence with a huge win at one of the toughest grounds in the country.
