Real Sociedad
Barcelona
- No changes are expected for the home side, who are on a fantastic run of form at the moment.
- Ruben Pardo and Markel Bergara are still injured, meaning that David Zurutuza, Xabi Prieto and Asier Illarramendi will undoubtedly make up the midfield.
- Illarramendi and Mikel Oyarzabal are the only more advanced men in Real Sociedad expected line-up to not pick up a goal in the last couple of weeks.
- Gerard Pique is back fully fit and will start alongside Javier Mascherano at centre-back for the away side.
- Denis Suarez should fill in during Andres Iniesta's continued injury absence, with Luis Suarez available again after suspension.
- The Uruguayan should lead the line with Lionel Messi and Neymar, after the Brazilian was left to bear a lot of responsibility during the Blaugrana's last league encounter.
Barcelona pass success = 76% ... When was the last time they were that bad! Enrique appologized in front of the press and said they didn't deserve a point and it is s miracle they didn't lose 3-1
@neumi17 enrique needs to ve more hard on barca performance.
sociedad were a better team 6.7 hahaha a joke.
Saurez isn't playing very well these days
Lol, I just looked at the rating - Sociedad 6.7 - Barca 6.83 This is much much more worse than the MoM selector. (That was a bit close). Team rating should have been Sociedad 7.5 (They played very well except scoring goals) - Barca 6.8
i'm an ardent Messi fan. Messi scored a great goal yesterday. But the MoM was definitely Vela. And Sociedad played much better. Barca played without a midfield. Even MSN can't help if they don't have a good midfield behind them although they may help you not to lose by producing a moment of magic like the Ney-Messi combination for the goal.
i think messi must helping in the middle.
sergio roberto is a great player. but I miss Dani Alves. enrique must buy another world class right back. he must play adan turan more often than gomes. turan can be a lot more creative.
this is bad. well done to real socieda. luise enrique must stop losing points to weak team. beacuse tough team like real socieda wont be easy. barca should have wont against malaga. if you press barca hard, youve got them. bad passing. barca is lossing their passing game. enrique bought wrong bunch of players. seriously.
How did Sociedad not win this game? They must be kicking themselves. And why are Barca so bad when they lose 1 key player, this time Iniesta?
Henrique, what are the subs for? Busquets, Suarez, Gomes MEN of the match.
Barca played 12 man and still ended up dropping points hahahhaha
Pogba Man of the match xD
I have always known iniesta is Barca's backbone. without iniesta they can't even score more than 2 goals for their past 5 games. very very very very poor! Real Madrid let's anhilate these fucks next weekend
am surprised there was no extra time and penalty shootout
@jefferee That's so funny and original! You're accusing Barca of being favored by the referees! That's so good! Oh, man! I've heard it before, but this time was different and funny. Really just so good. Man. Whew. Sometimes I read posts where people point on CR7's deliberate handballs and complain that RM is favored by the refs. It's so original then, too! Fans that feel screwed by referees and decided to blame a rival team's success on match fixing anytime they feel something didn't go their way...it's a frequent complaint, but you have elevated it to an art form. Bravo! Keep it up!
You guys need to make some changes in your criteria/algorithm of rating players !!
@Tms Vela and Illara were the best two players in the pitch
Jesus My predicted score would have been perfect. I didn't knew Barca was playing with 12 players on the field and 2 subs guarding the field :D
No Iniesta - No party
ERROR lead to Goal was made by Pique not Mascherano.
@enxit Yes, In fact it was an own goal. It was clear from a camera inside the goal
i dont know who is coming in worse form to classico, real or barca. im not sure what barca want from gomes to play in this setup, because replacing iniesta is just impossible for him. all the creativity came from neymar/messi, and a bit from denis suarez in the 2nd half. there is zero foreplay from andre gomes against decent teams. this guy doesnt possess barca DNA, that buy was only for marketing purpose or what, i dont know.
typical, the refs always give 12+ points a season, everyone always say they make mistakes but it seam that its never against them. dont need to spend money on players like madrid does, when they spend that or more money on refs and play with 12 every game.
@edemex they don't spend money on referees, most of La Liga referees are Barca fans already.
Barcelona is done in La Liga this season. I'm pretty sure Barca will lose against Real Madrid too Messi and Neymar alone cant win a match, we need a good TEAM
wow. Messi MOM? 8.3? seriously? what about vela? and lines man were awesome as "ALWAYS" #peace
@srcr7 messi gets 2 more points for just starting from whoscored every game.
@edemex true that
@srcr7 Messi was really good in the second half.. had alot of dribbles in close areas and scored a goal which Vela didnt
@ksaviauk everything would have been different if the linesman had not been so blind.
@srcr7 Vela becouse he hit the post 2 times?
@ksaviauk Vela's shot's rebound lead to the first goal and shot on post was also followed by a goal that got disallowed, created many chances and was far more influential in the the game than messi, i don't hate messi but in this game clearly vela was better
@KlaasJanHuntelaar Rebound is just a luck. disallowed goal doesnt mean anything. created chances that didnt end up in goal..
Real Madrid will having a party on El Clasico at campnou next week
@Vellicahearst its not as easy as you think.there are still refs to go thru
Barca lucky not to lose today. Sociedad deserved the win.
clear got disallowed. I mean that offside call was not even close. Too bad Sociedad got unlucky.
@elijah123 and also that denis suarez chance, he was in an offside position when played, and also one chance for real in the first half wrongly called for offside.
@elijah123 goal*
Illaramendi's rating should be higher and Carlos vela should be MOTM
@KlaasJanHuntelaar Vela motm becouse you are just tired of seeing Messi
@ksaviauk sorry if you guys just cant deal with facts
@KlaasJanHuntelaar haha "unlucky"
Wow, Barca didn`t lose this time, gratulations...! They should have been down a few goals after the first half and were lucky after Real hit the post a few times. But in the second half they improved a lot and got the equalizer. So the draw is not totally undeserved ...
Barcelona was extremely lucky not to lose this game.
Barcelona improved a bit in the second half but Real Sociedad totally dominated and deserved to win
Luis Enrique is a joke manager, the team played awful yet again like the entire season. Sociedad scored a clearly legitimate goal and we should've lost. Such a disgraceful performance, any team can beat Barcelona these days.
Granero shooting is terrible.. had so many chances already since coming on
Yep...more refereeing decisions in favor of barca
Another post.. dam Sociedad so unlucky
Denis Suarez been good since he came on
@ksaviauk I wonder if he'll start against Real Madrid next week after todays performance
Was it offside?
@ksaviauk Nope Sociedad unlucky
0-0 at halftime and Uefalona really awful. 1 red card and penalty at minute 120 to come
@Vellicahearst I took this user name in honor of you. Do try to be proud. I wanted to write nice, not hateful, petty things with this name because it will be novel for people to see. That's not what they get normally from this name. Not always easy to rise above the inclination to troll back at a troll, but I try. Not always successfully. Anyway, I want to congratulate you: You really make fans of the beautiful game seem ugly. I know you enjoy hating any team but your own, and that you can't help but troll, and I think it's admirable that you always comment on Barca threads and make it clear how much you hate and resent the team. You make Madrid fans look really passionate to the point of being blind and unhinged mentally. Mostly only other trolls reply to you, but today you get a special treat: Someone decided to indulge you. You got attention! You have a reply! Someone noticed your mean posts! You win. You win at trolling. Gosh, buy yourself a trophy. You deserve it. What a winner.
possesion 53.3 - 46.7 wut
0-0 at ht, a miracle for Barca ! 8-2 shots on goal and even in dribbles Real is ahead ! Barcelona zero shots on target ...
3-1 Barcelona
Take a glance at these comments below mine. So many Madridiots, so many insults, terrible words and so on and all those comments stand. This website is ruled by Madridiots, there is no doubt about that.
@blitz U have to understand that ur comments in real madrid articles mocking and insulting ronaldo is still visible, eventhough many are deleted. Thank you.
@elijah123 My comments are deleted because of imbeciles like you. I only talk truth about Ronaldo.
@blitz actually, your comments are deleted when you use offensive language
@blitz Please stop insulting people here. Atleast make this website clean. Thanks a lot.
Barca can't lose this one. Last 9 visits 0 wins. They need a masterclass from MSN today.
barcelona win, 3-2 or 4-2
4-2 barca..u hear it first
Am sure Barcelona will play extra time here and the match might even go into penalty shootout
@jefferee u went crazy, see a doctor
3-2
I think 1-2 here, penalty for Barca in 97 minute
@koziol.mutant u r a real "козел" )))
@koziol.mutant in 100th minute
@jefferee in 105th minute and 2 reds for rso
Expecting for the winless run of Barca at Sociedad to continue. 3-2 for Real Sociedad
Look at Sociedad previous home results against Barca..
Real Sociedad 2-1 Barca.
well barca cant afford of losing this game...if they do real will have a 7pts lead over them and this could kill their chances of winning the league...
@Blacknaldo At this point, "to kill their chances" would require at least a 10-point gap, given the fact that Madrid still have 2 games against FCB and 1 against Atletico left, that's 9 points.
@Ala One left vs Atlethi *at home* and the last time they faced eachother...well 3-0 say it all and we will see for the games vs FCB ceause last clasico Real beat them on the road with 10 men and a dissallow goal...and thats a FCB without iniesta...
4-1 for Sociedad
@Sinaj Have you seen Ronaldo's masterclass goals yesterday? He almost had a dribble in that game too.
@Sinaj agree
@Sinaj Are u crazy?
Barcelona hasn't won in Anoeta for 8 years if I'm not mistaken. Real Sociedad is in great form and Barcelona hasn't been playing their best football since the beginning of this season. In addition, Neymar has 4 yellow cards and with the El Clasico on horizon, it'll be a huge gamble to play him in this match. However in the end, Messi is capable of winning this game for Barcelona.
It will be an upset if barca wins
@loli It won't be looking at the line ups. But if they loose surely and record for past decade speaks itself.
@loli why? If deserves, why not?
