    Good defending by Barca defender Clement Lenglet to read and cut out a through-ball to Alexander Isak. He'd have had no chance in a race if Isak got the first touch there.

    Barcelona 2-1 Real Sociedad

    A brilliant double save from Marc-Andre ter Stegen saves Barcelona. He gets down low to save Willian Jose's 18-yard shot and then jumps up quickly to block Alexander Isak's follow-up with his leg.

    Barcelona 2-1 Real Sociedad

    Lionel Messi is getting treatment on his calf. The last thing Barca want to see.

    But before I even publish that entry he's back up. Panic over.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 81 mins

    Barcelona 2-1 Real Sociedad

    Robin le Normand hacks Lionel Messi and gets booked. I genuinely forgot Messi was playing. When's the last time I mentioned him?

    Can't move for subs in La Liga these days. Clement Lenglet replaces Oscar Mingueza at the back for Barcelona.

    A great run by Real's Martín Zubimendi to glide past a few defenders but his shot is blocked. The move ends with Nacho Monreal volleying high and wide at the back post.

    Alexander Isak has a golden chance to put Real Sociedad ahead but Pedri saves Barcelona.

    The pacy Swede hares away from Oscar Mingueza but Pedri comes out of nowhere to slide in and win the ball before Isak can shoot.

    Pedri's reward is an injury as he crashes into the post after taking the ball.
