"Barcelona arrived in San Sebastian brimming with confidence having won 11 games on the trot but were nearly knocked out of their stride in the opening minute, Oyarzabal glancing in a header only to see his effort ruled out for offside. Barca responded and Lamine Yamal picked out Pedri in the area but the Spain international fired his shot straight at Alex Remiro in the Sociedad goal."
"The Blaugrana thought they had the lead after seven minutes when Dani Olmo dispossessed Takefusa Kubo, prompting a counter attack that culminated in Fermin Lopez firing in from the edge of the area. VAR intervened, however, and the effort was chalked off with replays showing Olmo had caught Kubo on the ankle. Barca were frustrated again midway through the opening period when Frenkie de Jong ran on to Pedri's clipped pass and finished neatly only for the offside flag to go up."
"The visitors had three goals chalked off, as well as a penalty, and hit the woodwork on numerous occasions with goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Gonzalo Guedes, either side of Marcus Rashford's equaliser, seeing La Real claim a famous win. Carlos Soler was sent off late on for the home side but they held on, meaning Barca end the weekend still top but just a solitary point ahead of Real Madrid, who beat Levante yesterday."
Barcelona arrived in San Sebastian brimming with confidence after 11 consecutive wins but lost to Real Sociedad as poor finishing and misfortune proved costly.

Several Barcelona chances from Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong and Fermin Lopez were either saved, ruled offside or overturned. Carlos Soler was sent off late, and Sociedad held on.
