He may not have achieved high performance standards but he achieved what he wanted. THE Barcelona prevailed 2-0 against Sociedad in the game that completed it 35th matchday of the Primera Division and so he overtook her Girona in the rating. Barca took advantage of it draw of the surprise of this year’s championship with Alaves and thus with the three points he won today he moved to second place with 76 points, one more than Girona which is now in third place.
The goal that essentially decided the match was scored by Yamal in the 40th minute of the match. Barcelona won a penalty which Rafinha converted in the third minute of stoppage time thus sealing an important victory. Xavi’s players did not… dazzle with their performance, against a combative Sociedad, who tried to be threatening but without succeeding.
