Barcelona started a new era with a very good overall performance and a 4-2 win over Real Sociedad at Camp Nou in the opening match of the La Liga season. Barça played a sensational first half and were strong for 70 minutes, but allowed La Real to get back into the contest and had a few nervous moments late before putting the game away in injury time.
FIRST HALF
The first 30 seconds of the game set the tone for Barça’s performance: they were going to play fast, not be afraid to go long at times and make as many runs in behind as possible.
