GOAL - Barcelona 2-0 Real Sociedadpublished at 90+5 mins
Jordi Alba
On the counter.
Brilliant from Ansu Fati, keeping his cool by cutting onto his left peg and he can shoot himself but unselfishly lays it off for Jordi Alba to tuck into an open net.
Harsh on Sociedad.

Barcelona 0-0 Real Sociedad
Ohhhh what a chance...
...for Sociedad.
It is the two youngsters who combine, Martin Odegaard slipping a pass through to Alexander Isak.
The angle is always narrowing but Isak takes it early, though the effort is awful, smashed way wide from a very promising position.
