3 takeaways from Real Sociedad vs Barcelona

#2 Real Sociedad can count themselves unlucky

Real Sociedad v FC Barcelona - La Liga

Real Sociedad were surely deserving of the first half lead that they earned after doing really well to contain Barcelona and also keeping Messi quiet for most of the game.

Every time the ball was at Messi's feet, players crowded him and put pressure until he lost the ball. They were threatening the defense with every chance they got and tried to hurt them on the counter, only to be undone by ter Stegen. The German international was the only thing that prevented them from scoring time and again.

This loss shouldn't hinder their progress and they should be really happy for putting up a really good performance.
