Following an amazing win over Inter Milan with the reserves to end the Champions League group stage in style,
Barcelona return to La Liga action with the first
of two games of gigantic proportions in the title race: El
Clásico against Real Madrid is next Wednesday at Camp Nou,
and every Barça fan is already too anxious waiting for that one.
But before that, there was a small case of Real Sociedad in
Anoeta, a game throughout the decade that always ended with a disaster,
controversy and the feeling that never, never, would take place outside of La
Real. But things have changed: Barco has won the last three games in Anoeta and
the last seven games against Sossidad in all competitions since 2017, and
Soussid is now a much harder opponent instead of just a team with Barça in just
10 years. You can't win
If there is a SoCid team capable of ending a losing streak
against Burke, this is one: La Real is rocking this season, attacking a
beautiful brand, playing intense football that has cost them the country Has
given great results against the best teams. . Willian Jose likes to score against
Barca and is still leading the front three, and former Real Madrid source
Martin a DeGuard is now a seriously good player against his parents' club
against El Clasico Would love to score and beat against the biggest opponent.
Barca cannot think of Madrid in this match and must be prepared
for a war against a really good team. Anoeta's curse is gone, but that doesn't
mean Blaugrana can't get lost there.
it will be good
Possible lineup
Barcelona
(4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Roberto, Piqué, Lenglet, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets,
De Jong; Messi, Suárez, Griezmann
Sociedad (4-3-3):
Remiro; Zaldua, Zubeldia, Llorente, Monreal; Ødegaard, Guevara, Merino; Portu,
Willian José, Oyarzábal
PREDICTION
I don't expect Barça to look forward and take it
seriously, which leads to enough goals to win against the second worst home
defense in the top 5 (WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS STATE?): 3-1 champions.
