The competition itself was tight. This can be seen from the match statistics. Real Sociedad had a narrow lead in possession with 56 percent. While Barcelona 44 percent.

However, the hosts actually had more chances, namely five shots on goal. Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen performed brilliantly by denying all the opportunities that existed.

Meanwhile, Barcelona, who recorded one shot on goal, managed to take advantage of the opportunity. Aubameyang did not waste the ball proffered by Ferran Torres to beat Alex Remiro.

With this result, Barcelona returned to second place in the standings with 63 points. They are ahead on goal difference from Sevilla who also collect the same number of points.
