(Real Sociedad – Barcelona)
(Date: 10th November, 2025)
***
On 10th November, a rampant FC Barcelona side visited Reale Arena.
They went up against a Real Sociedad side that was in form and had just thrashed Athletic Bilbao 1-3 in their last league game.
It didn't matter though, Barca visited that stadium with only one intention, to win and run away with all 3 points.
For his lineup this time, Hansi Flick made changes.
Starting in the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation, the attack remained the same with Raphinha, Sam, and Lamine Yamal all starting, while Dani Olmo started slightly behind them in attacking midfield.
Deeper in midfield though, a change was made, Gavi being rested for this game as Frankie De Jong took his spot on the team.
In defense, Alejandro Balde and Ronald Araujo were also rested, giving opportunities to Gerard Martin who started in left back. Apart from Martin, the rest of the defense comprised of Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, and Jules Kounde.
