First half
–
The start is complicated for Barça, who struggles to find spaces. Real Sociedad takes advantage of it and builds the action that leads to Odriozola’s goal: a perfect cut in the area that surprises the defense. However, immediate shock for the Blaugrana, which increase the pressure and find the tie shortly before the interval with the header of Koundé on a corner kick. A weight reaction, which immediately puts Flick’s team immediately running.
The recovery
–
In the interval, Flick changes his face to the team and the decisive move has the name of Lamine Yamal. The 2007 class enters and breaks the game: dribbling, accelerations and at 59 ‘the assist to kiss for Lewandowski, who headed the stadium with the goal of overtaking. From there onwards it is a tense nerve duel. Real Sociedad does not surrender: Oyarzabal touches the same, Kubo affects a sensational crossbar and in the end the Basques pour entirely forward. But the risk also runs in the opposite direction: Lewandowski in turn hits the crossbar on the counterattack, leaving the result in the balance until the triple whistle. In the end, the 2-1 rewards Flick’s team, at the sixth seasonal victory. The Catalans fly to 19 points and look at everyone from above, taking advantage of Real Madrid’s misstep in the derby. Not a brilliant test, but a strong signal: this Barça knows how to suffer, hit at the right time and above all … conquer the primacy when it matters.
