Barcelona Stunned in San Sebastian as Real Sociedad Secure 1-0 Win

Barcelona’s goal-scoring streak under Hansi Flick came to an unexpected end on a challenging night in San Sebastian, as Real Sociedad secured a 1-0 victory. The defeat marked the first time the Catalan giants have failed to score since Flick took charge, and it was La Real’s second win over Barcelona in their last 11 league encounters.

The only goal of the game came in the 33rd minute, when Sucic delivered a precise pass to Becker, who found the back of the net with a composed finish. Despite Barcelona’s dominance in possession, controlling 70% of the ball, their efforts in front of goal left much to be desired; they failed to register a single shot on target.

Real Sociedad not only held firm defensively but were also more effective in attack, finishing with an xG (expected goals) of 1.85 compared to Barcelona’s 0.64. The result reflects Sociedad's efficient approach and a poor display from Barcelona, who struggled to break down their hosts and lacked the sharpness needed to test Sociedad’s defense.

The loss will be a concern for Flick, as his side’s creativity and clinical edge appeared absent throughout the contest. With title aspirations, Barcelona will need to regroup quickly and address their issues in attack if they hope to remain competitive in La Liga’s tightly contested race. 

For Real Sociedad, this win is a statement result that will boost their confidence as they continue their strong run in La Liga.
