Overview

• Robert Lewandowski headed in Lamine Yamal’s cross in the 59th minute, a minute after the winger came on, to seal a 2-1 comeback win.
• Yamal had missed four matches with a pubic injury, later had a goal ruled out for offside and created another chance that Lewandowski struck off the crossbar.
• Álvaro Odriozola put Real Sociedad ahead on 31 minutes before Jules Koundé leveled with a header from a corner in the 43rd.
• The result was Barcelona’s fifth consecutive victory across competitions and moved them to first place in LaLiga.
• Seventeen-year-old Pedro ‘Dro’ Fernández made his first start for Barcelona as the team continued to promote youth under Flick.
