FC Barcelona experienced its second defeat of the season on Sunday against Real Sociedad who won at home 1-0, at the end of the 13th day of La Liga.
The Catalans were dominated by their opponents throughout the match and were unable to overcome the handicap of a goal scored in the 33rd minute by Sheraldo Becker.
Deprived of Lamine Yamal, who was suffering from an ankle and who followed the match from the stands, Barça did not find the chink in the armor of the Basques who created numerous chances putting Inaki Peña in difficulty.
