FC Barcelona, in irresistible form and riding a wave of confidence, head into the always demanding Reale Arena this Sunday to face Real Sociedad, a side that may not be at its peak but is never an easy opponent, especially on home soil.
The Catalans arrive in San Sebastián with momentum firmly on their side, having strung together five straight wins in LaLiga.
On the other bench, Matarazzo’s men come in after snapping a run of underwhelming results with a much-needed victory.
While it didn’t erase all doubts, it did provide some breathing room just ahead of hosting the league leaders.
Kickoff is set for 9:00 p.m. local time under the Basque sky. And although Barcelona go in as favorites, no one in their right mind would count Real Sociedad out at home.
