The visits to Anoeta are used to to be difficult for the FC Barcelona. After two victories holgadas in 2021 and 2022, this Saturday touched to suffer from beginning to end with a Real Sociedad very upper in the first part that finished paying expensive his fault of puntería. In the discount, a golazo of Ronald Araújo, in the 90+3', gave to the ones of Xavi Hernández three points of gold to put pressure to the leaders in spite of the lacks in the game culé. Like this we saw to the group blaugrana in San Sebastián.
Ter Stegen: Salvador
The '1' left backwards some doubts in his last parties with three paradones in the initial stretch that kept alive to the Barça. Also it avoided another so much in the second part with a flown in front of a finish of Barrenetxea. Ter Stegen Went back to be the saviour of the Barça in a very complicated night.
Ronald Araújo: MVP
It went back to fulfil like right side, suffering a lot of in the first part for lidiar with Barrenetxea and Zubimendi. In the complement lució more whole and, in the final stretch, played it to him going to the contrary area like líbero. In the 90' tested to Remiro with a finish of long distance and, in the last played of the party, converted a golazo of head to pass of Gündogan.
Jules Koundé: Absent-minded
The Frenchman returned to the eleven like head office beside Iñigo Martínez and had a first very toneless part. It gave a balloon in exit that did not finish in goal of Oyarzabal of miracle and suffered to cover his position.
Iñigo Martínez: Imperioso
The Basque struggled during all the party against the attacks of the Real and the whistles of Anoeta by his past in the Athletic. It saw the yellow in the complement by a fault on Mikel Oyarzabal, but fulfilled in general lines.
Alejandro Balde: Turned off
It suffered to Take Kubo in the first part, but lució firmer in the complement neutralising to the Japanese and to Brais Méndez. Nevertheless, it contributed very little in attack, since, unlike other parties, did not have so much gone and turn.
Gavi: Errático
Had the only clear of the Barça in the first part in a big recovery in front of Mikel Merino. The '6' had everything to finish to door, but wanted to look for to Lewandowski and the played dispelled . In the complement was much more retarded, doing of '5' in front of the improvised centre of the field culé. In the 90', wasted the best of the Barça after a big habilitation of Pedri, defining to the body of Remiro in the hand manually.
Gündogan: Asistidor
The German lució quite cold with the balloon in the feet, far of the intensity that characterises him to take the baton of the centre of the field. His more stood out contribution was in the mark, avoiding several dangerous advances of Brais Méndez and Mikel Merino. On the end, rubbed the lamp with a perfect centre so that Araújo gave him the triumph to the culés.
Joao Cancel: Unimportant
Xavi went back to range him like extreme/mediocentro and the luso tested with a finish toneless in the first part, his only contribution in the 68 minutes that played. I cancel it was predictable and unimportant in a centre of the field surpassed with clarity by the donostiarras. It left his place in the field to Raphinha to 22 minutes for the end.
Fermín López: Desconectado
Had a lot of problems for lidiar with Martín Zubimendi and finished the first drowned time with only a toneless finish diverted. Pedri ingresó In his place in the 57' to look for the reaction.
Joao Félix: Intense
Joao Was the one who more looked for it recostado by left, with several attempts in which it lacked a partner to generate more danger. It asked penalti in a controversial action in the first part that the VAR overlooked and was admonished after a rifirrafe with Brais Méndez in the beginning of the second part. After this disappeared and Lamine ingresó in his place in the 78'.
Lewandowski: Isolated
The Pole lució quite turn# off in the 57 minutes that was in action, isolated by a Real Sociedad that controlled without problems the centre of the field from the start. Xavi put to Ferran in his place to try take advantage of the mobility of the of Foiós.
Ferran Torres: Missing
It generated an action of danger in the first played in which it participated, trying associate with Gündogan for desordenar the bottom 'txuri urdin'. However, it participated very little in attack since and could not be the revulsivo that Xavi needed, slipping in a pair of clear opportunities to finish to door.
Pedri: Crack
It threw a hand in the mark from his entry in the 57', avoiding greater evils in front of the continuous desbordes of Take Kubo. In the final stretch, did with the balloon and filtered a perfect pass that Gavi wasted with a finish to the body of Remiro.
Lamine Yamal: Testimonial
The extreme went in little at stake with a Barça replegado in own field in the final stretch. It has lost his usual lectricidad in the last parties.
Raphinha: Revulsivo
It was the one who more looked for it in attack of the changes made by Xavi. The Brazilian encaró every time that it could, but lacked depth and ideas to generate danger by left. Still like this, it applauded his effort for trying something different. Like this it forced a yellow to Zubimendi in the final stretch.
