Aubameyang shines, Barca returns to 2nd place

After being knocked out of the Europa League by Frankfurt, Barcelona’s focus was entirely on the La Liga arena. Marching to the field of Sociedad, Barca need to win 3 points to reclaim second place from Sevilla’s hand.

The away team rushed to attack after the opening whistle and just 11 minutes they had a goal to take the lead. From the situation of Dembele’s missed opportunity, the ball reached Torres’ feet and the player made a pass for Aubameyang to score the opener.

After conceding a goal, Sociedad revived the squad and should have equalized right before the end of the first half. In the 44th minute, Alexander Sorloth handled calmly in the siege of two Barca players, before opening the ball to the right for Alexander Isak to finish. In the unmarked position, the Swedish striker shot straight into the billboard.

In the second half, Sociedad continued to pressurize and force Barca to retreat defensively. Ter Stegen’s talent helped the visitors stay strong against dangerous finishes, notably two close-range shots from Sorloth and Joseba Zaldua.

Winning at least 1-0, Barca reclaimed second place in the La Liga table with 63 points, equal to Seville but played less than 1 match. In the next round, Barca will welcome Vallecano at home.
