In a thrilling encounter at Camp Nou, Barcelona emerged victorious with a 3-2 win over Real Sociedad, a match that saw drama unfold until the very last whistle. The game began with high intensity as both teams pushed forward, but it was Sociedad who took the lead in the 16th minute through Mikel Oyarzabal’s header. Barcelona, however, was quick to respond, with Robert Lewandowski finding the equalizer in the 28th minute, finishing a precise pass from Gavi. The match continued with both sides exchanging possession, but it wasn’t until the second half that things became truly exciting.

In the 60th minute, Pedri scored a sensational goal from outside the box, curling the ball into the top corner to give Barcelona a 2-1 advantage. However, Real Sociedad refused to give up and equalized in the 72nd minute with a powerful header from Alexander Sørloth, following a well-delivered corner kick. With the game tied at 2-2 and only minutes remaining, Barcelona was awarded a controversial penalty after a VAR review.

Their resilience in the face of Sociedad’s challenge was impressive, with Lewandowski proving to be the match-winner once again.

Nevertheless, Barcelona’s ability to grind out a result in the final moments showed their championship credentials, and they now remain in close competition with Real Madrid at the top of the league.
