"The woodwork on no fewer than five occasions, plus a number of frustratingly close refereeing calls, stood in the way of FC Barcelona and what could have been a mighty win this Sunday in San Sebastian. The football was enough to warrant that, and yet a tense game of football ended with Real Sociedad inflicting a punishing 2-1 defeat on the Catalans, who had come into the game looking to extend the second best winning streak in club history."
"The Portuguese defender came on the second half for his first appearance since rejoining the club after his last game for the Blaugranes back in May 2024. Alhama 0-2 Barça: Made to work for the win - FC Barcelona 0-2 win for Barça away to Alhama in a match that was far from easy. Pina opened the scoring in the first half, while Graham got the second after the break and Patri returned from injury."
