Lewandowski’s first La Liga goal, Barcelona wastes early lead against Sociedad

Real Sociedad and Barcelona face each other in the second round of La Liga with the objective of getting a win for several reasons. The home side has never managed to beat the azulgranas with Imanol on the bench, while the azulgranas can't afford any other result than a win after the draw against Rayo on the first match day.

After an exciting preseason for Barcelona on the pitch and in terms of signings, the debut against Rayo Vallecano was disappointing and Barça are hoping to lift their spirits in this second La Liga match day.

Without Sergio Busquets, who is serving a suspension, Xavi Hernandez's team faces a litmus test that will allow them to assess their competitive level and, in the event of a victory, to give the Barça fans hope once again. The Culés are obliged to isolate themselves from all the 'noise' of the transfer market and compete at the highest level in a very demanding stadium.

For their part, Real Sociedad won by the minimum against Cadiz in the first matchday with a great performance by one of the new players: Take Kubo. The Japanese scored the only goal of the match and looks set to be one of the stars of Real Sociedad this season.
