Another brilliant attacking display from Barcelona saw them decimate 10-men Real Sociedad 4–0 to continue their La Liga winning streak and cement their status as table-toppers.
With a chance to increase their lead in La Liga by a point, Barcelona took the field at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. Real Sociedad looked unafraid to start the contest, having chances early to strike first. That all changed 17 minutes in, when Aritz Elustondo took down a charging Dani Olmo who was through on goal. Match referee Alejandro Quintero González didn't hesitate and sent Elustondo to the showers early with a red card.
