Barcelona 1-0 Real Sociedad: 5 Talking Points

#4 Navas escapes a sending-off

Navas was lucky to remain on the pitch

Real Sociedad centre-back Raul Navas was fortunate not to receive his marching orders for a foul on Ousmane Dembele on the stroke of halftime.

Navas lunged into a horrific challenge as his studs caught Dembele's ankles that further caused a severe deal of pain for the Barcelona winger. However, he surprisingly received only a yellow card from the match official and carried on for the rest of the game.

This enraged the Barca players and fans as they were clearly unhappy with the decision but their protests were not going to influence the referee changing his minds and the game moved forward.

Sociedad's veteran centre-back had a mixed game as he committed two fouls, received a booking and on the other end, created a couple of half chances for himself from set pieces.
