WELCOME TO THE ROYAL ARENA!!! The beautiful home of Real Sociedad in the Basque Country, forever known as Anoeta in our hearts, is the site of a monster The League clash between the hosts and Barcelona, who come into this one looking to maintain their comfortable advantage at the top of the table and conquer one of the most hostile atmospheres in Spain. Barça are unbeaten away to Sociedad since breaking the infamous Anoeta Curse in 2018, but they’ve always found it very tough there and it wouldn’t be different this time. This should be fun, and you’re welcome to join us to follow and comment all the action. Let’s go!

Matchday Thread Rules
We don’t have a lot of rules here, but there are a few things to keep in mind when joining our matchday threads:
Even if the referee sucks or we lose the game, watch the swearing. It’s just unnecessary. Also, don’t discuss illegal streaming links. Those who do it will be warned, and those who post links will be instantly banned. Finally, be nice to each other. This is a Barcelona community and we don’t need to offend one another.
Have fun with the game! Forever and ever, no matter the competition, VISCA EL BARÇA!
