FC Barcelona will have taken its time, but it finally imploded Real Sociedad thanks in particular to the first goals of Robert Lewandowski under the tunic blaugrana.

The Pole also opened his counter from the very first minute of the game, concluding a good comeback from the young Alejandro Balde, established in place of Jordi Alba (0-1, 1^e). A short-lived happiness for the one who celebrated his 34th on August 21^e anniversary, since Alexander Isak took advantage of a loss of ball from Frenkie de Jong, placed in front of the defense in place of Busquets, to equalize with a small dive (1-1, 6^e). In an intense and dynamic first period, the rest of the clear chances were rather Basque with a double chance for Mikel Merino then Take Kubo who came up against a Marc-André ter Stegen of the big nights (26^e). David Silva also tested the qualities of the German goalkeeper with a low shot, forcing the Catalan captain to deflect with the end of his left hand (44^e).

If the second period almost started with a goal from Brais Méndez on a free kick – finally canceled because Robin Le Normand, offside, diverted his shot -, Barça finally rolled out. Even if it took a few flashes of genius from substitutes like Ansu Fati, who recovered a ball transmitted from a heel to an Ousmane Dembélé pinning Remiro on the spot (1-2, 66^e). The Catalan machine relaunched, Robert Lewandowski scored his double three minutes later on a brilliant inspiration from Pedri: feigned strike and passed to Ansu, the winger storing for the Pole on his right (1-3, 69^e). For the last goal of this goleada Barcelona, ​​the two men swapped roles: the number 9 sent a pass for Ansu Fati, who projected himself alone in front of the Basque defense and concluded (1-4, 79^e).

FC Barcelona is still more fun with names like Ansu Fati and Raphinha on the bench.
