Real Sociedad – Barça: with a winning mentality

Real Sociedad – FC Barcelona. A duel that has the label of attractiveness. One of those nice to see, as Hansi Flick commented in the preview of the 13th round. The Blaugranas arrive with the desire to extend their winning streak. There are currently seven in a row.

Winning streak and goals

Barça has not lost since September 28. Defeat in the championship from Osasuna, which opened a winning streak in both the League and the Champions League. Competitions that have tested the thirst of filmmakers. Because along the way, adding only three at a time, the results were very prolific. More than three goals scored. Almost nothing that could further increase the attacking numbers of a hungry lineup. 55 goals were scored in 16 official matches.

Without a doubt, one of the biggest contributing factors to achieving this number of goals is Robert Lewandowski. Pichichi reaches commitment Reale Arena with European commitments doubling in a week. The gunpowder is loaded to face the Thuri-Urdin team, which has resisted the Pole’s attack in two league matches. Streak far from a productive start to the match 9 with FC Barcelona, ​​as he made his debut as a striker at Real Sociedad.

Opposite Dynamics

In addition to Lewandowski’s good scoring chance, Hansi Flick’s Barça is supported by the constant work of the whole team. An indispensable ingredient in the parts that make up the circuits of a German technician. A figure that binds six wins in seven games away from home at Luis Companys Stadium. Visitor reliable unlike local that 2024 is not going through its best moment. Because Real Sociedad only won 25% of their games at the Real Arena.

Without going any further, Imanol Alguacil’s men lost their last league game at home. The score against Osasuna was 0:2. Fourth defeat for the Basques at the Real Arena in the domestic tournament of the 2024/25 season. In fact, they only have one win at home this season. Arguments that rest on the shoulders of Real Sociedad, who have been unable to do anything to prevent Barcelona from winning the last four precedents on home soil.

But when the ball starts rolling this Sunday at 9 p.m., all momentum will fade away. Especially when there is a lot of quality on each side. Because the people of San Sebastian have such dangerous players as Sergio Gomez, Zubimendi, Oyarzabal or Kubo. So Flick’s team, leading by six points over Real Madrid, will have to come out compact and cohesive to try and secure a win. Trying to keep the winning streak going.
