In a highly anticipated La Liga encounter, FC Barcelona emerged victorious against Real Sociedad with a decisive 2-0 triumph at the Reale Arena on 21 April 2022.

The Blaugrana, under the guidance of manager Xavi Hernandez, came out with a determined mindset and dominated the possession from the get-go. Their efforts paid off in the 34th minute when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pounced on a loose ball inside the box and slotted it past Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro.

The second half saw Barcelona continue to press for more goals, and their persistence was rewarded in the 90th minute. Raphinha sealed the deal for the visitors with a composed finish, securing all three points for the Catalan giants.

This victory not only boosts Barcelona's morale but also solidifies their position in the La Liga standings. They have now reclaimed second place with 66 points from 34 matches, just two points behind league leaders Real Madrid.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad's hopes of securing a top-four finish have taken a slight hit with this loss. They remain in sixth place with 51 points from 34 matches.

As the La Liga season enters its final stretch, Barcelona's triumph over Real Sociedad serves as a timely reminder of their title aspirations. With key matches against Real Betis and Real Madrid still to come, the Blaugrana will need to continue their impressive form if they want to challenge for the league championship.
