Moyes 1-0 Barcelona: The internet reacts to Real Sociedad's win

Almost 10 months ago, Liverpool supporters unfurled a cheeky banner at Old Trafford.

'David Moyes is a football genius' read the tongue-in-cheek message printed alongside an image of a startled-looking Manchester United manager.

Liverpool fans held up the banner during a 3-0 win at Old Trafford in March

Fast forward almost 10 months, and Moyes is now reviving his managerial career at Spanish side Real Sociedad.

With Sociedad languishing in the bottom half of the Spanish top flight, surely only a 'football genius' could mastermind a shock win against a Barcelona squad containing Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar, Andres Iniesta and Xavi.

But guess what? That's what Moyes did as Sociedad earned a 1-0 win against the mighty Catalans.

BBC Sport looks at the social media reaction to the win.
