The first half ended with a good result for Sociedad and of course this is a very good thing for them especially with a 1-goal lead now they just have to focus on the second half with the same scheme and hope that their concentration does not break down.

What Sociedad did in the first half was very good where the scheme that only relied on fast counter-attacks that were carried out when the Barcelona players were off guard had a positive impact on them and indeed this was the only way for them at this time facing Barcelona who were very good in dominance problems.

But in this case as you said because now with 1 goal behind, of course Barcelona will try more because after all, Flick is currently in a condition that does maintain momentum so they will try their best to make the result a point for them. I think this should be watched by Sociedad now because seeing from what Flick always does in terms of schemes sometimes they always show unexpected things especially their productivity in the last few matches always looks very good.

I am actually very amazed to see Barcelona lose the match. Because thought Barcelona was actually going to win this match and create a bigger point difference with Real Madrid. But now they have basically given Real Madrid a chance to catch up to Barcelona. And it really amazing to see Barcelona having so much of possession of the ball but still unable to have a single shot on target. I think we all agree that Barcelona have played this match pretty poorly. The second loss of Barcelona even though they are at the top of the table. The Catalan giants has to improve their performance in the next match. They know that they cannot make these kinds of mistakes when they are going for the La Liga title. They have to get three points from these matches and they cannot even drop points, let alone lose the match.
