Second defeat for Barcelona, third overall for this year

Manos Staramopoulos • 10 de noviembre de 2024

Real Sociedad won 1-0 with a goal by Sheraldo Becker in the 33rd. Barcelona experienced their second defeat in the league (1-0) and third overall in the season.

Barcelona experienced their second defeat in the league (1-0) and third overall in the season, always first and at +6 from Real Madrid, but with a game more.

"No Yamal, no party" for Barcelona. The 17-year-old miraculous left-footed right winger  was sidelined due to discomfort, so his team was left without...gasoline and the home team, Real Sociedad, also playing at home, took advantage of it as best they could.  Imanol Alguacil 's team clearly superior and more determined, but also efficient rightly won 1-0 with a goal by Sheraldo Becker in the 33rd…


Thus, Barcelona experienced their second defeat in the league (1-0) and third overall in the season, always first and at +6 from Real Madrid, but with a game more.

Takefusο Kubo, in a wonderful playing condition, created the conditions for one of his teammates to breach the goal of Inaki Peña.


And, after chances from Bryan Mendez and Kubo, they succeeded in the 33rd minute with Sheraldo Becker, who with a diagonal shot after a slight slip by Pau Coubarsi (wearing a protective helmet after his facial injury against Red Star) opened the scoring score for Imanol Alguacil 's side, who went 2-0 up before the break, on a huge chance from Mikel Oyarzabal.


The Blaugrana barely threatened Alex Remiro's goal and were deservedly beaten, failing to score in an official game for the first time in 8 months. The last time this happened was in neighboring San Sebastian Bilbao (0-0 with Athletic). Oh, for those who might have forgotten, the other loss in the league came at also neighboring Pamplona from Osasuna.


This is how Sociedad "shocked" Barcelona at the "Reale Arena", forcing the Catalans into only their second defeat this year in La Liga and ending their unbeaten streak (7-0) in the UEFA Champions League and the Spanish league.


With this loss, Hansi Flick's team was left with 33 points, 6 more than the second Real, which however has one game less. As for Sociedad, it climbed to 8th place.


FC Barcelona will certainly find their way to success again, as the coming week is the national teams and there will be games for the UEFA Nations League. So the German coach of the Blaugrana will have some time to think about what went wrong but some of his players will also recover and so he will soon present a strong group again...
