GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 4 (90+2 mins - Sergi Roberto) Real Sociedad 2. This time, Barcelona definitely have the points in the bag! Braithwaite showed great pace to burst to the byline and find Roberto at the back post with an excellent cross. The substitute had the simple task of finishing into the net from close range!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 3 Real Sociedad 2 (85 mins - Mikel Oyarzabal). A screamer! Wow! What a strike from Oyarzabal who finds the top corner of the net with a freekick strike from 25 yards out! This game is alive again! Barcelona have five minutes or so to hold on! La Real are giving this a go!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 3 Real Sociedad 1 (83 mins - Julen Lobete). Real Sociedad have got one back, but it is surely only a consolation goal at this stage of the match! The pass was played in behind Emerson and Lobete did well to guide the finish back across goal and into the far corner of the net!

Le Normand is the latest player to be shown a yellow card.

The biggest question for Barcelona this season as they move on from the Messi era is - where will the goals come from? They don’t have a player who will score a guaranteed 20+ goals.
79'
There are so many problems currently being experienced at Barcelona that it can be easy to overlook how Koeman’s team still managed to make progress in some areas last season.
78'
If Koeman can build his team around the young talent at the Camp Nou, Barcelona can still look forward to a successful and enjoyable season. There is the core of something good.

PEDRI... over! That was a good chance for the teenager to find the back of the net, but his strike from the edge of the box is tipped over the crossbar by Remiro. Decent effort!

Griezmann had a decent summer with France at Euro 2020. There were reports that Barcelona were open to selling the forward, but nobody was willing to take on his huge wages!
