Barcelona Go Top With 2-1 Win Over Real Sociedad as Koundé Decries Late Lapse

Szczesny's stand-in start underscores ongoing depth questions before PSG.

Overview

  • Jules Koundé equalised before Robert Lewandowski headed the winner to secure three points at Montjuïc.
  • The result extends Barcelona’s unbeaten start and moves them to the top of La Liga.
  • Koundé said the team "suffered too much" in the final 25 minutes, citing lost control, low intensity and failure to block inside passes.
  • Lamine Yamal returned from the bench and provided the assist for Lewandowski’s decisive goal.
  • Wojciech Szczesny started in place of injured Joan García and said he felt conflicted about playing because of his teammate’s setback, with PSG up next in the Champions League.
