Real Sociedad managed to wrap that restless child in a blanket, rocked him a bit – and the child fell asleep

RSO pressed tirelessly and harmoniously. Simultaneously, the passing culture of Barcelona remained. Yet if you give them half a second less to think, the moments will be fewer. Imanol Alguacil's quadruple substitution at the hour mark suggests it is very difficult to strangle this Barça, but it is possible. Let's consider this is how Sociedad played 22/23, when they were flying to the Champions League. Let's consider this is how Sociedad played 22/23, when they were flying to the Champions League.

Generally speaking, I would not be fooled. Few teams are able to drag "Barca" in pressing like that. It's interesting how Zakharyan would fit in this match. It seems impossible. None of the Russian players could resist even 10 minutes of Alguacil's football. Good health to Arsen, he breathes some kind of special Basque air. This air expands the lungs and allows him to fly at supersonic speeds.
