3. Real Sociedad continue impressive start to campaign

Real Sociedad have been one of the most impressive teams outside the traditional clubs in LaLiga this season and came into this clash occupying the final Champions League spot. The Basque outfit have been moulded into a compact side very difficult to break down under Imanol Alguacil's management and their charge upfront has been led by players like Oyorzobal, Martin Odegaard, Portu and Alexander Isak.

Despite the pedigree and quality of players available to their visitors, Sociedad took the game to Barcelona and put them on the back foot for most of the match.

With the draw, they move one point clear of Getafe into 4th place after 17 matches which is not bad considering that they have played Barcelona, Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, and Real Madrid.
