"Barcelona were wasteful, and very unlucky, but on any other day, they get the result after generating as much offense as they did against Real Sociedad. A total of 23 shots, with 9 on target for the Blaugrana, compared to 5 shots and 4 on target for La Real. It's almost hard to believe all the calls that didn't go their way. Fermin Lopez had a decisive finish ruled out. Lamine Yamal made a very alert play for a goal that was disallowed for the tightest of tight offside calls, followed by a penalty that was chalked off for another offside in the build up."
"Real Madrid had a dreadful week, but rumors of their demise have been greatly exaggerated. Barcelona are the favorites in La Liga's title race because they are managed by a proven coach, but you have to respect Los Blancos because of the talent that's at their disposal. This is not a team that will go quietly into the good night."
Barcelona generated 23 shots and nine on target but lost to Real Sociedad after multiple disallowed goals, a rescinded penalty, tight offside calls, and numerous near-misses. Key chances were nullified, including a ruled-out Fermin Lopez finish and a Lamine Yamal goal and penalty removed for offside. The second half brought shots off the post and a swift response from Sociedad after an equalizer. Barcelona created countless chances yet lacked finishing and suffered from poor fortune. The team must respond calmly and confidently while continuing the possession-based approach that has delivered season-long success.
