That meeting was held in Saudi Arabia, and the title won was the first for Barcelona with Xavi as head coach.Real Sociedad has unexpectedly turned into the third force of Spanish football this season, even trying to keep up with the leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The Basques have a gap of 7 points from their two closest pursuers, which allows them to seriously count on a ticket to the Champions League for next season.Obviously, Barcelona will not have an easy life in the upcoming home match.
San Sebastians are in great shape, consistently winning and scoring. In their last nine matches, Real Sociedad have always scored during the first half.
