I think with or without the red card, Barcelona will still defeat them because the matching a revenge match for Barcelona following the 1-0 defeat Real Sociedad defeated Barcelona in their home in their Laliga first leg match; and this match is very important for Barcelona to win because it will give them the chance to lead the Laliga table ahead Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid and they finally lead with one point ahead of Atletico Madrid and three points above Real Madrid.
Real Sociedad's performance this season is impressive enough for one to predict that they stand a chance of getting a result at Barcelona but realistically, anyone who's been watching the league leaders performance this season will agree to the opinion that Barcelona was undoubtedly the favorites to win that game with or without Elustondo's 17th minute red card. Before the game, Barcelona knew that would take them to the top of the league after Real Madrid lost to Real Betis on Saturday. So if you ask me, Barcelona's win didn't just happen because the played against a 10-man Real Sociedad.
