It’s a nice shock. FC Barcelona travels to Real Sociedad this Sunday at 9 p.m. for the 13th day of La Liga, a match to follow live with commentary on our site. Solid leaders with six points ahead of second place Real Madrid, Hans-Dieter Flick’s men, who won the Champions League on Wednesday against Red Star Belgrade (2-5), will want to win against the 12th to take an even further lead before the international break.
To do this, the German technician aligned a 4-3-3 with an attack made up of Lewandowski, Raphinha and Fermin Lopez, while Lamine Yamal remains on the bench. Honored with his first call-up for Spain, Casado starts in the midfield with Pedri and De Jong. On the other side, Take Kubo will lead the Basque attack with Oyarzabal and Becker.
The official compositions:
Real Sociedad: Remiro – Aramburu, Zubeldia, Aguerd, Munoz – Zubimendi, Brais, Sucic – Kubo, Becker, Oyarzabal.
FC Barcelona: Peña – Koundé, Martinez, Cubarsi, Baldé – Pedri, Casado, De Jong – Fermin, Raphinha, Lewandowski.
