Real Sociedad is a good team, but it has lost games that it should win. I recognize that Barcelona is playing very well, just with the demonstration that they made against Bayern and against Madrid, at least for me, it is an indication that Barcelona is on another level.

If we only look at those results, that indicates that it is very likely that Barcelona will win, but we must also recognize that Real Sociedad needs and should win. They need to win because otherwise it will be much more difficult for them to find themselves in the league positions. I would like Real Sociedad to at least draw so that they do not lose points. They have a very good team , but they have to score goals and win And the truth is I liked how they defeated Barcelona, they won in an impressive way.

Real Sociedad can be said to have a fairly stable performance at the moment, because up to this week Sociedad was able to achieve 5 wins, draw 3 times and lose 5 times. Apart from that, I also agree with you, that in some matches Sociedad should be able to win, but unfortunately Sociedad could not win the match, as happened against Mallorca. Maybe if, for example, Sociedad can maximize every match in Laliga, then there is a big possibility that Sociedad can compete in the top 5 of Laliga. But now, after Sociedad beat Barcelona, it seems like a very good first step for Sociedad to continue climbing to the top 5 in the Laliga standings. Because to be honest, I personally didn't think that Barcelona would lose to Sociedad. But the result turned out to be that Barcelona was defeated by Sociedad.

In fact, if we look at ball control in this match, Barcelona really dominated. But Sociedad always managed to make very effective counter attacks, and were able to make Barcelona's defenders quite difficult. Because it is proven, even though in this match Barcelona dominated possession of the ball more, but if we look at the opportunities, Sociedad created more of them. Because in this match Sociedad managed to shoot 14 shots and 6 of them were opportunities that almost resulted in goals. Meanwhile, Barcelona in this match was only able to shoot 11 kicks and none of those 11 kicks were good goal opportunities. Therefore, in this match Barcelona really had difficulty attacking Sociedad's defense. Maybe because Yamal didn't play in this match, it was quite influential for Barcelona's attack line.

Probably one of the reasons you see them in the champions League, they didn't get there by accident but by hard work and dedication and am not surprised by the results they are producing week after week, am not even surprised that they beat Barcelona even if Barca dominated that game a lot. For me I think their performance this season has been very good and also better than last season and I hope they remain consistent, because they have a perfect squad and good coach also who also has a good philosophy that is helping the Real Sociedad team making progress in the la liga.
