This is how La Liga stands after Barcelona's assault on Real Sociedad

The team coached by Xavi Hernandez started off suffering under the pressure and insistence of Real, but after the entrance of Ansu Fati, the game turned in favor of the Culés. The goals came one after another. The '10' has shown why he is the great illusion of the club and Robert Lewandowski, with a brace, has been as decisive as he has ever been asked to be. Barça has faced a great victory to add 4 points and move into fifth place in the championship.

At the top of the standings is Villarreal, after their win against Atlético de Madrid at the Cívitas Metropolitano, with a hard-fought match that ended 0-2 for Unai Emery's side.
