The visitors struck first in the 31st minute when Ander Barrenetxea beat Jules Koundé in the box and cut back to an unmarked Álvaro Odriozola, who slid in to give Sociedad the lead.
But Barça had the final word before half-time. In the 43rd minute, Marcus Rashford swung in a dangerous corner that Jules Koundé rose to meet, nodding home the equalizer and making up for the earlier defensive lapse.

Lewandowski nearly doubled the lead a minute later, only to see his volley crash off the crossbar. Still, Barcelona held on for a 2-1 victory—their sixth win in seven games—and leapfrogged Real Madrid to claim top spot in La Liga.
Real Sociedad drop to 17th but showed grit before Barça’s late flourish. With momentum on their side, the champions look ready to mount another title charge! 🔥👑
